Under the Gun

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.

Yes it's funny how that tends to happen and one begins to draw up their own lyrics. yes I end up limiting myself also, but funny!

I was just going to do a translation for you guys, but I can't watch it anymore. Says it is unavailable :(

Anyway, as far as I recall, she is asking Andrew what he would do if he were king of Germany. I guess that is a reference to a song by Rio Reiser (Wenn ich König von Deutschland wär'), former singer of legendary Ton Steine Scherben. Eldritch replies he would abandon the honorific in the language, donate money to St. Pauli, and then abdicate to make way for a republic.
If it's the interview I recall :wink:

It doesn't look like he is lip syncing on the Top Of The Pops performance, but the music is definitely all coming from a backing tape. But the vocals look and sound live. I guess that is Terri Nunn on stage with him. I couldn't get a clear look at the guitarist or the others.

No, I had no idea!
Thanks for posting the audition tape.
She would've done a good job, I think.
It's cute how she says, "Chewbacca" so naturally.

I think the second half of the song is some of the best stuff AE has ever written.
