The group played its first gig at London's Splash club in March 1994, subsequently taking six weeks to record its debut album, Paranoid and Sunburnt, at a "haunted house" outside the city. The band's first single, "Selling Jesus," was featured on the soundtrack of the film Strange Days; Stoosh followed in 1996, and three years later Skunk Anansie returned with Post Orgasmic Chill. They broke up in 2001, with Skin moving on to a solo career (releasing Fleshwounds in 2003 and Fake Chemical State in 2006). The group re-formed in early 2009, playing sold-out shows and recording three new tracks for a greatest-hits album, Smashes & Trashes. The reunion went so well that they decided to stick together and record a new album, Wonderlustre, released in the autumn of 2010, with the track "You Saved Me" used in Zack Snyder's 2011 movie Sucker Punch, along with their remix of Björk's "Army of Me."
Sadly, former drummer Robbie France passed away after his aorta ruptured in January 2011. The band released its fifth album, Black Traffic, in September 2012 and backed it with an extensive European tour. The first single from the album was "Sad, Sad, Sad." The group followed this up with the live album An Acoustic Skunk Anansie: Live in London, a recording of their performance at Cadogan Hall, London in April 2013, before their sixth studio effort, Anarchytecture, arrived in 2016. The following year, the band put out 25live@25 -- a compilation album that traversed 25 years of live material.

Because Of You
Skunk Anansie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I see you feel no pain at all, it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now?
Or are those special moods for someone else?
I hope you're feeling happy now
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight
Does laughter still discover you?
I see through all the smiles that look so right
Do you still have the same friends now
To smoke away your problems and your life?
Oh how do you remember me?
The one that made you laugh until you cried
I hope you're feeling happy now
Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you
Oh, no
Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you
Just because you feel good
Doesn't make you right, oh no
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight, want you
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now
Skunk Anansie's song Hedonism tells a story of a past relationship and the aftermath of it. The singer is reflecting on their ex-lover and wondering if they are thinking about them too. The lyrics express curiosity about their current life and habits, questioning if they have moved on from their past relationship to special moods with someone else. The singer is also skeptical of the happiness of their ex and wonders if they are masking their true problems with laughter and smoking. The song expresses the idea that just because someone feels good, it does not mean that they are doing the right thing.
The chorus repeats the statement that feeling good does not equate to being right. The singer's desire to have their ex back despite their doubts and concerns is highlighted in the line "Still want you here tonight." Overall, the lyrics of the song are a mix of nostalgia, curiosity, and disappointment, exploring the complexities of relationships and human emotions.

Because of you
The tears dead in my eyes
They freeze until I'm blind
The eyes a gift from you
Because of you

Never feel again
Because of love

I was 14/15 and my boyfriend at the time was much older. About 23.
He emotionally abused me and used my poor mental heath as a joke to him.
He sent me this song as I was asking for new songs and everytime I hear this song I cry.
It means so much, so many mixed emotions.
I've had such a crap life, SA survivor, addiction etc.
Now I'm doing well and he's stuck in a crap marriage still messaging me every couple of years.
Funny.
Windamor
She is one of the best and most charimatic singers of our time. She should be on everybodys lips but I guess she is just too raw and different for the common taste.
[Vampi Sweden]
Well, i suppose most of us who commented here can agree with that we love this band a lot!
elisa la cara

Aa
Just My Opinion
There are not many who can hold their own with Pavarotti but Skin actually eclipsed him.. the way that he looks at her after the song just verifies his seal of approval she is raw and heavenly at the same time she is simply brilliant
[Vampi Sweden]
They had a massiver sucess in the 90s, at least in Europe, unlikly a lot of the mainstream from that era i think this is certanly a band people will still listen to in the future because of the exceptinaly good quality wich makes it still last today and even gained them a second sucess whan they did the come back, this is one of those rare examples of a band wich just gets better and better ower time and not the opposite. Skin has divine talents but the guys are dawn good too and manage to make her voice justice and boosting it up She was great on the live preformance on stage as well, one of few artists that sounded at least as good on stage as she does on the studio albums in my opinion.
Across The Sky
For 9 years I have been searching for this song,
I only remembered the chorus...
It was stuck in my head for a long long time, now finally I am free.

This reminds me of when I was a 16 years old teenager, I really loved Skunk Anansie, and now at 42 and being a metal head, I like it even more and I can enjoy this masterpiece with more knowledge!! She is an animal!!
