Compare and contrast...

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.

And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

You know, you're right!

b) Each of them contains a song about Marian(ne)

c) Each of them contains a song about a mysterious Stranger

Other concordances include:

d) a song called The Sisters of Mercy

e) a song about Suzanne

f) a song called Teachers

If I was a sixth form English teacher, at this point my students would be groaning as I write on the board " 'The career of the Sisters of Mercy represents an extended meditation on Leonard Cohen's first album'. Discuss"

I'm sorry. I'm investigating an interesting philosophical possibility: if I continually disappoint everyone, is that the only way to make sure I never actually disappoint anyone?
