The Sisters in real life

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.

I was down the pub earlier talking to someone about how s**t the work situation was right now & managed to drop "It's so dark all over Europe" into the conversation .

Have you ever managed to crow bar a Sisters lyric into a day to day conversation?

I dare you :twisted:

:lol: In the english lesson my class mate said "Your english sounds funny!" and I replied "I'd buy another if it was for the money". Well, he didn't understand at all.

I quite often squeeze in the odd reference - to both knowing and innocent audiences... most regularly "I don't know why you have to be so undemanding (I want more)"
...if in a bit of a spot ... "my guardian angel walks away" actually I just realised I do it a lot :lol:

I always have the urge to add "& it tastes funny" when anyone says "small world", but always seem to resist.
Not anymore!
That's the equivalent of an open goal.

Yes, I use "don't be afraid now, just walk on in" when trying to sound encouraging about something!!!

If you really must (and I'm not encouraging you) then at least get the words right: it smells funny. There's no evidence that Von ever tasted it.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

This was in a set of photos from an art show opening. Nothing to do with me, so no idea, but it warmed my little heart:

Next time you must put sunglasses on, take some pole or broom and start singing "...and it smells funny, I'd buy another...." sing the whole song, dance like :von: and don't stop. Then turn back to the conversation as if nothing has happened. :innocent: ;D

Waiting for one of our punters with the engine running, whilst he's on the phone.

Punter (to the phone): What is it?

Today my friend went to the toilet and I said to myself "I hear a roar of the big machine...". It's easy to use SOM lyrics in real life ;D

My friend put a picture up on facebook of her with red ribbons in her hair...
I commented "and she looked good in ribbons..." :von:

All I got was a "That's rather creepy"

to be fair, the lyric is intended to be creepy.

The whole song, the story behind it is... rather creepy :lol:
At least, what I think it means :von:
