still

Got any interesting thoughts on a set of lyrics? Any that don't involve the word "indeed"? Find yourself struggling to decipher all those obtuse references Von makes? Read "1959 And All That" and still no clearer? Nope, us neither. Postcards found lying in a skip around the back of the Chemists can be found here... Don't say you weren't warned.

I need to stop listening to the same boots & get some new ones I think.

I heard that, too - I thought my hearing was going even worse than I'd previously suspected (too many years on the front lines...) until I realised every recording I'd heard had a different set of lyrics :lol:

Yea think :von: says Me bad at the end...then says something then mumbles something else too but I'll pick that out later.

Listening on a crisper system so I'd also make a little change to the 2nd verse here's what I make as the Tienen version

STILL

You didn't say it made a difference
You didn't say you'd want me to
You did not hear it as I hear it
what you did was up to you.

Still
If it makes you happy
Still
If it makes you glad
Still
If it makes you happy
It makes you bad

You're real as can be, what you can't disprove
you can't return from new
anyone of you could hear it as I hear it
I still can't plan this through

Still
If it makes you happy
Still
If it makes you glad
Still
If it makes you happy
It makes me bad ....(and dumb)

Edit: Later. Reasonably sure there's some crowd noise at the end and I think Von says then both

The more I listen to this tune the more I like it :twisted: Pure :von:

DoubleEdit(only 4 hours :roll: ...Later. Later I now reckon Von says soon both
Also I think the 1st line is; You didn't see it made a difference It's still only what I hear (however clear) but I think the added poetry of touching on all the senses would appeal to d'Man

You're the bis, right on the marck I'd say :P - what you listening on?

I dunno why but I get more n more of a feeling this song is about a commitment or some 'sense' of a marriage proposal.

You didn't hear it as I hear it
And what you did was up to you

Still - if it makes you happy
Still - if it makes you glad
Still - if it makes you happy

Your real has to be what you can't disprove
And you can't retake the move
And if one day you could feel you could be wrong

Still - if it makes you happy
Still - if it makes you glad
Still - if it makes you happy
It makes me bad

Is the official site hosted on a 486 under Von's bed? The site is down just now and seems to be go down fairly regularly. Perhaps because like me you lot are frantically trying to get to the site to read the new lyrics. :)

Further investigation reveals someone has been messing about with DNS or something. Or maybe they've always been different servers? http://www-sisters-of-mercy.com no longer works (just now) and that's the one Google has indexed. I have also noticed it bounces up and down the search results. Oh dear.

Code: Select all

www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com. 28498 IN  A       213.130.34.7
www.thesistersofmercy.com. 3282 IN      CNAME   www.reptilehouse.com.

I think it depends a lot on the URL you use. http://www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com seems pretty flaky at the best of times, whereas http://www.thesistersofmercy.com works just fine round my way.
If I told them once, I told them a hundred times to put 'Spinal Tap' first and 'Puppet Show' last.

does that mean that the version with hyphens is doing some kind of dns redirection? and does 213.130.34.7 keep falling over or something?

i have to admit i only ever use www.thesistersofmercy.com and its almost always ok :)

www.thesistersofmercy.com (82.138.252.13) is a Fused Networks server in Surrey; www.the-sisters-of-mercy.com (213.130.34.78) is a NTT America server in London. At least according to GeoIP. The Fused Networks server seems to host www.reptilehouse.com also and is running a bunch of other services.

Maybe it's always been like this or maybe they've migrating or maybe...hmm.

Wild speculation: they've moved to a more powerful server to accommodate the reopening of the Reptile House store! A quick glance at the hosts' respective sites seems to indicate that NTT America offer managed hosting, where as Fused Networks offer colo...

Update: checking DNS from elsewhere it just looks like the-sisters-of-mercy.com hasn't propagated throughout the net yet to point at the new(?) host. Anyway, um yeah...as you were!
