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.

After we complete the ring of fire,
We will burn this circus down,
The wheel goes round and the flames get higher
Round the juggling men and the idiot clown
Nice one Nick
Who is this idiot clown he talks of
I seem to remember mention of it back in the day.
Shouldn't this be in Lyrics or Sisters chat Not that I care - it just might get lost in here.
I think it makes reference to the house of commons or something like that.. The original Heartland bio made reference to this and the kind of anti-falklands/diana wedding sentiments echoed in the EP as a whole..
Either that or my memory is mangled!
You can turn your back on a person, but never turn your back on a drug, especially when its waving a razor sharp hunting knife in your eye

I seem to remember that somehow Valentine was about that as well. Please don't ask me to elaborate.
I'd end this moment to be with you
Through morphic oceans I'd lay here with you

I did it in 1985 by rethreading a cassette backwards. (One of those short computer cassettes so there'd be less winding to do).
Listen again, it's "The catherine wheel a ring of fire."
You can hear some of those backwards lyrics (the right way round) in that early demo version of Burn on one of the bootleg albums. In fact they're about the only thing that links the two songs.
