The jewel, the prize
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find
I heard a rumour - it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best
A tourist oasis - reflects in seedy sunshades
A monstrous oil tanker
Its wound bleeding in seas
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Veiled behind screens
Kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheeps' eyes - no forks or knives
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best
Looking into your eyes
Cool pools drown your mind
What else will you find
I heard a rumour - it was just a rumour
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best
A tourist oasis - reflects in seedy sunshades
A monstrous oil tanker
Its wound bleeding in seas
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
I heard a rumour - what have you done to her
Veiled behind screens
Kept as your baby machine
Whilst you conquer more orifices
Of boys, goats and things
Ripped out sheeps' eyes - no forks or knives
Myriad lights - they said I'd be impressed
Arabian Knights - at your primitive best

Look Skinner, WHAT makes you think that I view this song and/or Siouxsie in a negative light?!? ARABIAN KNIGHTS clearly expresses a VERY negative view of arab culture. DO NOT assume that I am scorning her for being politically incorrect! I was curious as to what inspired her to write this song. Was she speaking from her own personal experiences or from a political perspective. Moreover, had she ever been to an Arab country.
I hit report by mistake - sorry.<br /> <br /> Sozluk - you ask if she has been to an Arab country. That is an unnecessary question, since the Arab countries have now come to US in the West.<br /> <br /> Here's an example of what they bring: canadafreepress.com/index.php/article/8463
