Q in my #ABCofPunk is for the Queen of Punk... Siouxsie and the Banshees. My game - my rules, I couldn't find anyone beginning with Q. Israel is a haunting and lyrically mysterious track, which, depending on how you read the lyrics, maybe as controversial today as when it was released.
One of the highlights of my youth was seeing them live at The Hammersmith Palais in 1981 which I still recall as one of my favourite gigs ever.

A song you could live inside for a week... love it!!
I'll never grow up.
Subtle soulful and just a little bit cross...
