A British punk unit whose thoughtful explorations of issues of sexuality and gender conflicts presaged the riot grrrl movement of the 1990s, Poison Girls were actually a male backing band formed around a singer and guitar player calling herself Vi Subversa. Released in 1979, the Girls' debut, 'Hex', was produced by Crass drummer Penny Rimbaud, as was the following year's 'Chappaquiddick Bridge'. While the guitar-based music on both records was fairly subtle, Subversa's lyrics were anything but, tackling issues of politics, normalcy, romance, and feminism with fury and intelligence.

After releasing 'Total Exposure', a stopgap live album recorded in Scotland in mid-1981, Poison Girls returned in 1982 with a newly skilled and sophisticated sound on 'Where's the Pleasure', which found Subversa streamlining her material to focus solely on the subject of sex. By the 1983 EP 'I'm Not a Real Woman', the band had virtually abandoned its punk roots in favor of Celtic folk singing and cabaret-styled pop; 1985's 'Songs of Praise' even found elements of funk creeping into the mix.

In the late '80s, Poison Girls called it quits. A four-CD retrospective, 'Statement: The Complete Recordings 1977-1989', was issued in 1996. [SOURCE: ALLMUSIC]
Desperate days. Nothing on the airways
People just standing around
Talking on corners
Waiting for the end to come
Jezebel for a hand to hold
Everywhere’s the same, no-ones to blame
The escalator
Everyone’s running up and down
At the same time
Who could have guessed the end of the line
Would look like this
Jezebel signs of praise
She never sang before
Desperate days. Nothing on the airways
People just standing around
Sitting on fences
Waiting for times to change
Jezebels kneels in the rain on the runaway
Crying for love that’s gone
No-ones to blame, ain’t it a shame
The escalator jammed
Theres nowhere to go-nowhere left to go
The destination failed
We aimed for the sky. We aimed to high
Now we’ve gone to ground
Jezebel sings songs of praise
She never sang before
Desperate days. Nothing on the clock face
People drifting around
Taking no chances
Waiting for the bang to come
Jezebel waves goodbye on the runway
Trying hard to understand
Empty paper empty pages
The indicators blank
Theres nothing to say nothing left to save
It’s far too gone
The planes were in the sky
When the fuel ran dry
We were forced to land
Jezebel sings songs of praise
She never ever sang before
