Standing There

"Standing There" is a song recorded by English band the Creatures (also known as singer Siouxsie Sioux and drummer Budgie).

It was co-produced by Mike Hedges and featured Gary Barnacle on saxophone and Peter Thoms on trombone.

Melody Maker wrote: "Standing There", the stampeding first single from the "Boomerang" album, deals with this self-same battle of the sexes but deliberately brings it all back home.The lyrics are about a strong issue.

Budgie commented: "It's about the direct contact you get on the street, it's not just verbal abuse anymore.

In the US, the song was played a lot on the alternative radio stations; it peaked at number 4 on the Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart in January 1990.
