My favourite Siouxsie album for so many personal reasons. And this, song is at the heart of it!

I love this song... She's so goth without trying to be... I love her

What a great bassline !!!

My favorite Siouxsie and the Banshees song.

Smith and Severin are awesome in this

I own Nocturne on VHS and have watched them do this song hundreds of times. It never gets old

This came out on VHS in the early 80’s or you recorded from TV?

I love how these three men pour it all out for Siouxsie. Fantastic. Her voice!! That deep...what?...contralto?

A man who can pull off wearing leather trousers and that top has to be admired.

Thank you for sharing this...She was THE powerful woman for so many of us growing up as girls in a very male dominated world, even musically/creatively...and I love that she took her name from the native American tribe.

Incredible band, so far ahead of their time. Lyrics like poetry, music like anthems. Thanks for posting!!!

Absolutely stunning

what a track...

Qué gran equipo fueron estos 4!! Temazo

Had to play this today....must be the best song on her live double LP. I think most people can relate to this song, sometime in their life. It means more to me now (53) than when I was 14.

This is such a great song!

Siouxsie in a great shape here! Yeah!

I have it on the B-Sides. It's very nerve wracking on that album because there are the sounds of children screaming during the entire song.

❤❤❤❤

mars volta brought me here... I don't regret :)

Siouxsie's best song

She is Siouxsie Sioux, The Mars Volta made a cover in their studio album "The Bedlam in Goliath". She and her band were pretty famous in 80's.

Melt, israel, into the light, spellbound, sin in my heart, overground, happy house

De la folie furieuse ❤❤❤

Gorgeous.I don't know how anyone who just wished people would stfu can live without this song.

the voltas version is just amazing. and this is terrific too. i think i could listen to it over and over and over

@duerdenn I think she was jealous about the reception the Cure were getting, as they were supporting the Banshees when John left 1-2 dates into the tour! They did try a couple of guitarists, but Bob Smith knew ALL the Banshees stuff! Seamless.

'-imafracctal - "pull to bits" was the so-called b-side to the epic "playground twist" single ...SIOUXSIE AND THE BANSHEES - Playground Twist

thanks!

Buy the album Juju. You won't regret it.

Lol Cedric actually sounds like her. Sick song.

I have been, probably heard each of them over 30 times.:P

Tongues are clacking words of one vision One tiny incision and teeth are cracking On thin air, on thin air And teeth are cracking on thin air Pulled to bits in silence Left rotting on the ground Slowly pulled to bits in silence Without a sound, without a sound Buildings bleached with shatter, shatter, clatter Fill their senses with cement Watch the people scatter One by one, one by one Pulled to bits in silence Left rotting on the ground Slowly pulled to bits in silence Without a sound, without a sound Young lungs snapping coming up for air The mindless ones yapping, slashing through the thoroughfare One by one, one by one Oh one by one without a fucking care Pulled to bits in silence Left rotting on the ground Slowly pull to bits in silence Without a sound, without a fucking sound Pulled to bits, yackety, yackety, yack, yack, yack Pulled to bits, shatter, shatter, shatter, clatter Pulled to bits, yap, yap, yap, yapping Pulled to bits without a sound

I more than agree with you!

I was at this show. Think the song about the Manson cult murders. Brilliant song.

Siouxsie's newest "into a Swan" can be seen in my vlog.

They are both good. Cedric from TMV always says that they "tried" to cover it, out of modesty and respect.

It’s about the Manson murders I recall.

wow, that was an amazing preformance. Different than the studio. Not better, deffinately more textured and professional sounding, but it doesnt have as much punk additude as the studio version. That doesnt make it better or worse, just has a deffinate shift in mood.

@shasaki2 JU JU Good album. The Scream. Most of them! NOCTURNE LIVE, with Robert Smith on guitar. This vids from Nocturne

oh man how you gonna tease us with 2 seconds of "Night Shift"

Pulled to BITS is tattooed on my back. Its my rebellion to being gay. Think about it, your are pulled to bits, gays want you to be like them, others want you their way, and you want to be you. I found Siouxsie and the Banshees at the perfect time in my life. Found meaning in all the early work, to get me through to be here today. I guess if I hadn't Lands End, would have been played at my funeral. So to edit and add so no one misunderstands my view. This is about MY feelings at the time and they pull through today. I still blare this song as I drive even at 50 years old. So again, it is MY feeling. Punk was a rebellion movement, and this song is my Anthem to MY rebellion, interpreted as I hear it.

I'm a lesbian and never try to convert others. Every human has the right to be free who they love. There's no room for bigotry! Siouxsie is bisexual and free to choose. She chose to marry Budgie but it's her choice and she's satisfied. More power to her. PMB you're living in a ignorant world.

Minha adolescência foi melhor que a sua!

...from Nocturne. Fellow Cure members during this period feared Robert would leave & join the Banshees, cos he enjoyed the lack of pressure, not being the lead, & also The Cure's future at this point was not certain. Strange to think how at this point, The Banshees future was more certain than the Cure's, funny how things change xxx.

anyone knows the story behind this song? Is it a cover? Why's it not recorded on any studio album? Thanks in advance for the answer.. it's one of my fav. siousxie and the banshees's song

I prefer this version better than annoying compilation box set version that has the screaming kids in the background.

sorry to disappoint you, but they touched it..

I fucked it up, I don't handle too much movie maker :S lol

i can recommend start off with BANSHEES ALBUM THE SCREAM THAN SKIP TO KALEIDOSCOPE THan CHECK OUT THE JUJU ALBUM go from there

ah cmon, be nice.

Too fast for my taste - I liked how they played it on stage with Mc.Geoch who also played "half note down" and back - Smith does a good job here too, but it just doesn't get that feel.

Fuck the mothers , kill the others !

are we sure this song is about mob mentality/A Clockwork Orange and not... getting a tooth extracted at an anonymous dentist's office and being shellshocked and feeling violated while all hopped up on anesthesia?

McGeoch was great, but Banshees with Smith was more stable, and could’ve ultimately been a legacy lineup if he hadn’t gone back to The Cure.

Seems like Florence got a lot from this vocal.

the song's called: blown to bits not pull to bits haha

The Mars Volta would have to improve to be the WORST band in music history.
