„Skunk Anansie“ je britanski bend koji čine Skin (glavni vokal), Kas (gitara, bas, prateći vokal), Ejs (gitara, prateći vokal) i Mark Ričardson (bubnjevi i udaraljke).

Bend je formiran u martu 1994, raspao se 2001. i ponovo je formiran 2009. Naziv „Skunk Anansie“ uzet je iz akanske narodne priče „Anansi“, a reč „Skunk“ (tvor, prevarant) dodata je „kako bi naziv zvučao groznije“.

Oni imaju pet studijskih albuma: „Paranoid and Sunburnt“ (1995), „Stooch“ (1996), „Post Orgasmic Chill“ (1999), „Wonderlustre“ (2010), „Black Traffic“ (2012), jedan album kompilacija – „Smashes and Trashes“ (2009) i nekoliko singlova, uključujući „Charity“, „Hedonism“, „Selling Jesus“ i „Weak“.

O njima se često govori kao o delu Britrok pokreta, koji ide rame uz rame sa Britpopom. Bend je „Ginisova knjiga britanskih hit singlova i albuma“ 2004. imenovala za najuspešniji britanski bend na top-listama od 1952. do 2003, sa ukupno 141 nedeljom na top-listama singlova i albuma.

FORMIRANJE I POČECI

Bend je prvi put nastupio u martu 1994. na svirci u Londonu. Već 1995. godine mazagin „Kerrang!“ izglasao ih je za Najbolji novi britanski bend. Sledeće, 1995. godine, od istog magazina su dobili nagradu za Najbolje izvođenje uživo, a 1997. bili su nominovani za Najbolje izvođenje uživo i za Najbolju grupu na dodeli Evropskih MTV muzičkih nagrada.

Prvi singl benda, „Selling Jesus“, bio je jedna od pesama koje su puštene u filmu „Strange Days“. Prvi i drugi album objavili su za izdavačku kuću „One Little Indian Records“, a sledeći za „Virgin“.

Tokom devedesetih godina grupa je išla na turneje sa bndovima kaoš to su „U2“, „Aerosmith“, „Feeder“, „Rammstein“, „Muse“, sa Lenijem Kravicom i drugima.

Nakon što su se 2001. rastali, Skin je počela da gradi solo karijeru. Njen debitantski album „Fleshworunds“ objavljen je u septembru 2003, a drugi, „Fake Chemical State“ u martu 2006.

Ejs je objavio album „Still Hungry“, na kome je sarađivao sa Šingajom Šonivom iz benda „Noisettes“ i Skaj iz benda „Morcheeba“. Kasnije se pridružio bendu „Inner Mantra“.

Kas je 2002. snimio album „Scars“ sa Garijem Murom, a svirao je i više instrumenata za pesme na prvom solo albumu Skin.
Mark je svirao za mnoge, uključujući i Skin i bend „Feeder“.

PONOVNO FORMIRANJE

Bend je ponovo formiran 2009, a tad aje izašal i kompilacija najvećih hitova. Oni su 2. i 3. aprila te godine održali dva koncerta u Londonu pod pseudonimom SCAM (Skin, Cass, Ace, Mark), a karte su prodate za 20 minuta.

Na prvu turneju posle ponovnog okupljanja bend je krenuo 9. oktobra 2009, sa prvim nastupom u Briselu, a onda su nastavili sa nastupima po Evropi.

Peti studijski album, „Black Traffic“, objavljen je 11. juna 2012. U septembru 2013. objavili su album „An Acoustic Skunk Anasie – Live in London“.

UTICAJI

Skin je „Skun Anasie“ opisala kao „klit-rok“ grupu, a servis „Allmusic“ ju je nazvao „mešavinom hevi metala i crnofeminističkog besa“. Skin i Ejs su pomenuli Seks pistolse, Blondi, dab, rege, elektroniku, hip-hop i etno muziku kao nešto što je uticalo na bend.

I Believed In You

I'd like to invite you
To this pretty little thing
Where the fruits of your labors
Are eaten by the queen
Yeah I'd like to bequest you
A seat with greedy boys
But I'm sorry,
I'ma stop you, at the door

I believed in you
Well, I was wrong
I believed you'd make me better
I was wrong
I believed you'd shine your light and save my world
Like Superman or God
I believed in you
Well, I was wrong

Will you do me the favor?
Go slit your skinny throat
Let your blood flow freely
So all your boys can choke
As I rise to defeat you
On revolution role
Where your rules and your failures
Will show

I believed in you
Well, I was wrong
I believed you'd make me better
I was wrong
I believed you'd shine your light and save my soul
Like Superman or God
I believed in you
Well, I was wrong

Oh I hope, when you're sleeping
Your guns are close at hand
Who knows who's cheating
To steal your contraband
That you gained in abundance
From cattle living poor
One day the would take it, no more

I believed in you
Well, I was wrong
I believed you'd make me better
I was wrong
I believed you'd shine your light and save my soul
Like Lucifer or God
I believed in you
Well, I was wrong

I believed in you
Well, I was wrong
I believed you'd make me better
I was wrong
I believed you'd shine your light and save my soul
Like Superman or God
I believed in you
Well, I was wrong

My Ugly Boy

The cheaper the face I love it
Warn but beautiful
And wherever he likes to go
The dirtiest girls will show

The city the ways I love is
Rough and beautiful
Cause wherever he likes to go
The freakiest boys will blow

Blow away
My ugly boy
My sweetest toy
My ugly boy, boy, boy

The cheaper the bitch I roll it
Hot but fruitful
And a thick of a slitch I roll
The faster he will fall, fall for me

My ugly boy
My sweetest toy
My ugly boy, boy, boy

My ugly boy
My sweetest joy
My ugly boy, boy, boy

And I know what I'd like to do
Take him down and make him crawl
Yeah I know how I'd like to roll
My, my ugly boy

My ugly boy
My sweetest joy
My ugly boy

My ugly boy
My sweetest toy
My ugly boy, boy, boy

My ugly boy
My sweetest joy
My ugly boy, boy, boy

God Loves Only You

His men have taken all the jewels you gave him
your sweatin' shakin' cos your god loves only you

I am one again
I am born again
Your eyes shine brighter
He takes you higher

The dawn is breaking over girls half naked
your soul is taken cos your god loves only you

I am one again

Our world is changing
'cause your god loves only you

I am one again

Your eyes shine brighter
He takes you higher

Our world is changing
'cause your god loves only you

Twisted (Everyday Hurts)

I cried on my blood day
There was nothing that I
Could hold on to
Just a line could have helped
Remind me of you, of you

I screamed 'til the blood came
I was living in a cloud of hope
Lover's kiss then they make a wish
To the end they pretend

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts

I cried in the sunlight
Would I fake all the times I loved you
Just to play in a game of twisted with you
With you
I need to believe you
Sacrificed all the lies we made up
How we kissed then we made our wish
To the end, to the end

Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts a little more
Everyday hurts a little more
And I'll do anything
Yes I'll do anything
To belong
To be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts

Time made me confide in you
So contrived were the words you sold me
Now nothing can swallow
The feeling so shallow inside
