Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

We currently have no plans to record a studio version of Giving Ground but I'm sure there'll be one in the not-to-distant future
EDIT - Speaking of Giving Ground... A while ago someone posted the correct lyrics. I was looking for em when we recorded the session but couldn't find it. I think I've got the lyrics right but it would be nice to have the correct ones just to check coz on all the lyrics websites there's a "..." part
Anyone know where they were posted?

Dark may be the chap to ask? I'm sure he could tell you the difference between the 7" and album version too...
Or if Dark can't help, you could always try that James Ray bloke.

Reason is turned around
And every fool who scuttles up
Will see his madness drowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By gently giving ground
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the truth is drowned
I watch as you surrender To silence-loving screams (replaced by "Because I know") And now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
And now I know you can not be
All that your flight has been
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the truth is drowned
I stood but you just could not wait
These lines are driven straight
Through the circles of your hate
Because I know you can not be
All that your flight has been
What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and the truth is drowned
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Everything is lost in the giving ground
In the giving ground
Everything is lost
In the Giving Ground
Those are from memory, but I've taken a quick listen through both, and they seem right.
Been listening to it over the last few days. "Want" I already know and like, but I'm seriously impressed with what you've done to Giving Ground. I like the way you based it around the live arrangement, and there's a definite and measurable improvement in the vocals. The instrumentation is also a lot tighter. Practice it seems is paying off.
A few quibbles - it goes major wobbly for a bit in the intro, the backing vocals had me reaching for something solid to cling to, and the ending of it is dog rough, but for a session track these are relatively minor gripes. There's something in here that might be lost in a more polished rendition, however.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.
