Say Lyrics
I heard the news today
Billy's gone away
Left us all for good
No one understood
You only had to say
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may
I was feeling low
You called and you were too
We'd meet Saturday
It happened on Wednesday
You only had to say, it's sad
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may
I don't want you brave
A truce we made today
If you're feeling sad
On me you can depend
You only have to say, it's sad
I would understand
You only have to say, it's sad
Whatever come what may
You only had to say
I would understand
Don't be scared to say
Whatever come what may
You only have to say
You only have to say
Billy's gone away
Left us all for good
No one understood
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may
You called and you were too
We'd meet Saturday
It happened on Wednesday
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may
A truce we made today
If you're feeling sad
On me you can depend
I would understand
You only have to say, it's sad
Whatever come what may
I would understand
Don't be scared to say
Whatever come what may
You only have to say

This song is about Billy Mackenzie, lead singer of The Associates. Billy killed himself in 1997 and Siouxsie was supposed to meet with him a few days before it happened. Hence the line, "We'd meet Saturday; It happened on Wednesday."
Very touching song and one of my favourites from Anima Animus.
