well, this seems just a bit difficult, but here it goes:
1.Crash And Burn (cause I know a few of those "married to a soldier" types)
2.Marian(Version) or the high guitar frenzy of Furth 2003, cause of the reference to Eldritch's Poetic influence, T.S.Eliot. whose sisters' name was Marian, do your research ppl.
3.Some Kind Of Stranger (cause of all the references to Cohen's "Stranger Songer")
4.1959, because it's so damned personal and simple and complex
5.We Are The Same, Susanne:perfect example of de-constructionist, Wittgenstein influenced lyrics, it seems so simple but is one of the most complex songs.
6.Ribbons... i think we all know what it's like to tell her about marx and engels and later not really no what for...
7.Nine While Nine/Driven Like The Snow: since Eldritch admitted that the latter is like a sequel to the former i put them together, these are very emotional with great imagery...
8.Summer: because it sounds great on any recording I've heard and the bass line is deep as any D+B song, while the riffs are straight up metal, and the whole thing was enginered to sound like a train, the cymbals, the bass line, the synth line, and the lyrics are more of that paradoxical symple on the surface yet complicated as hell underneath stuff...
9.Slept: I love the rant at the end about all the girls...
some boys can relate by mistake....
and the second last line is: "...and girls who knew the sailor's creed with a third degree of jealousy...", trust me...
10.Under The Gun: The lyrics, the female duet thing, the poem at the end, the Metropolis Mix, the production, and the fact that Adam Pearson can at least be heard on this Studio Recorded Single if none other...
there, hope you like my reasons, i believe it's more fun to read the reasons why ppl. like what they like than to just read some list of songs...
