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.

Thanks DrG!

And to you mr. Blast! I Like this version of afterhours very much.

Just out of curiosity: what kind of equipment did you use?

I don't know what it is with 'Afterhours', but you feel some threatening and discomforting thing and at the same time it makes you dream....

Fine job you did there James!

hello everybody!
long time! :)

today or maybe tomorrow i will get my new mic (Studio Projects B1), my new preamp (SP VTB-1) and my new soundcard (ESI Juli@) in the mail. After installing and playing around learning how to at least get some kind of strange sound out of the hardware I will try to record some vocals on the song Slept. The last month or so I've re-recorded all the instruments from scratch and 3 other Eldritch-songs (Dr Jeep, Valentine and Giving ground) just to have something to sing to. I don't know when but I'll write something here if I happen to record something that I'll dare to show you :)

I've listened to several versions of Slept and read at least 3 versions of the lyrics. The version I'll sing will be this:

Oh shake me down again. (x3)

I can wake up in this zoo.
I've been used and abused
I've been chastened I've been bruised,
I can take what I've been through.
I've been naked on the news,
I've been debased and disabused,
Just meet me downtown when you're through

Turn me over, Turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin.

Girls on smoke and girls on weed,
Girls on coke and girls on speed,
Girls who choke and girls who smile,
Girls who swallow in denial,
Girls in crisis of the hips
Girls with eyes as white as Egypt,
Girls in cars and girls on strips,
Girls in bars and girls on strips,
Girls on journeys, girls on trips,
Girls on gurneys, girls on drips,
And a girl too far with pale blue lips so shake me down again.
Girls like you have poison tips
Girls like you like pistol whips
And girls who knew the sailor's creed
With a third degree in jealousy

Turn me over, Turn me in,
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin.


I would be very happy if anyone of you have any corrections of the lyrics. I mean "crisis in the hips?!?!!???" wtf...

Slept was a nightmare when it comes to trying to hear what the lyrics were, but I could show you my ideas of what it could be. "downtown when you're through" sounds very good btw, might change that in my version.

(Bite Paris version)

Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
I need a week of zoomin’
I need be huge energy be chasing where we live
I can take away you knew it
I’ll be making all the news and maybe hates me teach away
Just being downtown with you

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls on smoke and girls on lead
Girls on strings and girls on s**t
Girls with joke and races seen
Girls with swallow in their eye
Girls in cries just pose ahead
Paradise is by the sunset
Girls with thousand girls on chips
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are dreamers, girls are trips
Girls are girls, girls are drips
I go too far where hear me whistle, gee-gee left again
Girls like you with poison’s lips
Girls like you like crystal whips
Girls down over Stella’s green
The fourteenth lean comes pose

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin


/////////////////////////////////////////////


(Maisey shared version)

Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again

I need to wake up in a zoo, man
I’ll be huge energies
I’ve be chase the nightly guest
I can take what I need from what
I’ve been making out in ways that make the grisly years away
Just leave me downtown in your flame rounds

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls in smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed
Girls with you can move the smile
Girls with swallow in their eye
Girls that cry to talk again
Never touch the silver token
Girls in cars and girls on flips
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are fools, girls are trips
Girls are better sales on tits
I go too far with you to hiss a king with flair again
Girls like you with poison slits
Girls like you like kiss your lips
Girls in a Homer cellar tree
But the burn degree with challenged species

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

FINAL VERSION ATTEMPT

(BASED on Maisey's shared version)

Slept

"Oooooooh take me home again
Oooooooh shake me home again
Oooooooh shake me down again

I could wake up in this zoo, man
I’ve been used and abused, I’ve been chastened I’ve been bruised
I could take what I’ve been through, then
I’ve been naked down the news, I’ve been debased and disabused
Just leave me downtown in your hideout

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls in smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed
Girls who choke and girls that smile
Girls that swallow in denial
Girls with crisis up ahead
Never touch the silver token
Girls in bars and girls on steps
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are dreamers, girls are trips
Girls are girls, girls are drips
And a girl too far with pale blue lips so shake me down again
Girls like you with poison tips
Girls like you like crystal whips
Girls in your own cellar tree
With a burning aching jealousy

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin"
It's good to be back

:lol: :lol: :lol: Isn't it about time the song got properly officially released with officially properly printed lyrics?
That way or the other, the mere "Girls on journeys, girls on trips, Girls on gurneys, girls on drips" bit makes it excellent poetry. Off-topic in this thread, I know... :|

Something makes me think the printed lyrics would be som misheard ones from the fans.
Just for the laugh.. :innocent: :wink:

here's a wild and wacky idea:

just post your music, some people have had the sac to do it, what's your problem?

http://tobiasforsner.com/download_count ... y_-_DrJeep

Some people says the vocals has some digitalerror, some crazy sound like a female voice behind the lead vocals but i've tested the song on our 2 computers here at home and it sounds ok

ok, it's not Slept but now i've got the hardware so i hope it won't be long now :)
