THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.
The following interesting factule may already be well-known to those in the know, but I just had a 'now fancy that!' moment while listening to the radio...
For some reason they just played a bit of Bing Crosby's Brother, Can You Spare A Dime...
They words run thus:
"Once I built a railroad
I made it run
Made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad
Now it's done
Brother, can you spare a dime?"
As I say: Now fancy that!!!! Another piece of the Lucretia jigsaw falls into place. Sort of...
Radio 4 is Boss! standby for something that 'Fades Out' Lars
"And when you start to think about death, you start to think about what's after it. And then you start hoping there is a God. For me, it's a frightening thought to go nowhere".

they're guilty of some real 6th form analysis and rarely come up with conclusion that anything he writes is coincidence or accident - they analise things to death
anyone care to tell me about the 52 daughters?
What’s the difference between a buffalo and a bison?

Simply a passing of time. 52? 52 weeks in a year. Daugther? Female off-spring of Old Father Time. Revolution? From new year to year end. A passing of time.
Loki was never worshiped as the other Gods,
Which is quite understandable.
Just when I began thinking that the "1959 and all that" webmaster must have too much spare time on his hands (and this is not an oblique reference to any historic, tragic figure with blood on his hands) I notice how sparse the 1959 website's overall content is. Fill in the blanks, please webmaster (and this is not an oblique reference to Russian roulette). Thanks!
.... there is no semblance of rock 'n roll around here!
Well, that's true, but the official story is that these thefts act as hyperlinks to whole new layers of meaning, and show that the meaning is wider and deeper than we thought. They set up resonances for those who can identify them, that tell us something more. At least, that's what Von's PR told me.

Or perhaps Mr. goth simply chose deliberately arcane lyrics to make himself sound all deep and intellectual.
