Next single = "Peek-a-Boo" (1988)"Song from the Edge of the World" is a song written and performed by English rock band Siouxsie & the Banshees. It was released as a stand-alone single in 1987 in the UK and is a much sought-after release by Banshees fans due to its rarity.
The track is an uptempo New Wave number with strong percussion performed by Banshees drummer Budgie. The song has not appeared on any Siouxsie & the Banshees album and was not included on any greatest hits collections until 2002's "The Best of Siouxsie & the Banshees" — albeit only on the bonus disc of the limited edition of the album, and in its 12 inch single "Columbus Mix" version.
The Banshees's bassist, Steven Severin, has stated in the bands official biography, that Siouxsie's dislike of the producer Mike Thorne, was the reason that the song was never included on any of the single/best-of compilations - "simply because [Siouxsie] hated the idea of seeing [Mike Thorne's] name on one of our albums."
"Song from the Edge of the World" peaked at number fifty-nine in the UK singles chart.
