Lyric discussion by JJKelsall 

Cover art for Party's Fall lyrics by Siouxsie and the Banshees

SIOUXSIE: "It's a slightly sad story about people dressing up all day to go out at nights. And that's all they do... The parties spoil perhaps when you get too old to do it." Source: NME 28/09/85.

CARRUTHERS: "This is about people who go to thousands of parties and talk to everyone and lave the party and fine they haven't a friend in the world. In London there's a while vacuous circus of meeting pop stars and film stars and then departing and feeling sorry for yourself. We're never sorry for wankers". Source: Melody Maker 1986.
