I know that many people who consider themselves to be SATB super-fans often turn their noses up at the Peepshow album as a sell-out album. However, I must question their status as super-fans if they scoff at any of the albums.
Granted Peepshow is definitely a departure from their earlier material, it is still a fun album, and "Peek-a-Boo" gave them an opportunity to find greater success in the States. So if people want to fault them for selling-out with "Peek-a-Boo", that is their choice, but I am grateful for their ability to be embraced here so that I could eventually see them play live for the first time in '95.
Creeping up the backstairs
Slinking into dark stalls
Shapeless and slumped in bathchairs
Furtive eyes peep out of holes
She has many guises
She'll do what you want her to
Playing dead and sweet submission
Cracks the whip deadpan on cue
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Reeking like a pigsty
Peeling back and gagging free
Flaccid ego in your hand
Chokes on dry tears, can you understand?
She's jeering at the shadows
Sneering behind a smile
Lunge and thrust to pout and pucker
Into the face of the beguiled
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers
Where'd you get those weepers?
Peepshow creature
Where did you get those eyes?
Strobe lights pump and flicker
Dry lips crack out for more
`Come bite on this rag doll, baby!
That's right, now hit the floor'
They're sneaking out the back door
She gets up from all fours
Rhinestone fools and silver dollars
Curdle into bitter tears
Peek-a-boo Peek-a-boo
Golly jeepers
Where'd you get those weepers?
Peepshow creepshow
Where did you get those eyes?
Golly jeepers
Where'd you get those peepers?
