Challenge

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.

7. Describe where you live:

Where Spirits Fly
Dude, missed a trick there shirley?

"...anywhere but home..." n'est-ce pas?
Tons of ideas through there, but Where Spirits Fly was probably the best out of all of them, as I hadn't used any lyrics from it yet, so I felt it needed to be used.
It's also the only song on that compilation I didn't like, then I forced it on myself and now it's grown on me to no end. :eek:

Fair play.

I have a soft spot for Last Train, and especially the 'take me anywhere but home' bit, as it has a certain resonance due to history; so I thought of it, and it seemed like a great answer to the question. But as I've bottled doing the challenge in total, it ill behoves me to take shots at your answers! (I still think it's a great line tho')

I am the son
and the heir
of a shyness that is criminally vulgar
I am the son and heir
of nothing in particular

3. How do your friends feel about you?

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

4. Who do you want to be?

That's why you're on your own tonight

Hand in glove

I want to go to bed

oh the rain falls hard on a humdrum town

And in the darkened underpass
I thought Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask

9. Share a few words of wisdom:

It's so easy to laugh
It's so easy to hate
It takes strength to be gentle and kind

--------------------------------------

Basically I'm shy and have a crap love life.

I never realised how whiny morrisey's lyrics are :lol:

I know that I haven't taken part either but have to say - love Last Train ;D
I never talk during music, at least during good music. If one hears bad music, it is one's duty to drown it in conversation.

MAJOR THREAD NECRO!!

in a Thin Lizzy Style:

1) Are you male or female?

"i am just a cowboy..."

2) Describe yourself:

"I'm a rocker!"

3) How do your friends feel about you?

"Me and my buddies we're gonna get drunk, we're gonna go out on the town.
We'll be checiking it out....slipping it in....and stepping out of line"

4) Who do you want to be?

"The vulture sits on top of the big top circus arena
He's seen the show before, knows someone's gonna fall
Just near the part where the beautiful dancing tightrope ballerina
Forgets the safety-net is not there at all!
Down he swoops, with claws drawn to take her
Razor-sharp! So savage is she mauled
"Oh my God is there no-one who can save her?"
In steps the Fox, to thunderous applause".

5) Describe your significant other

"Valentino's got nowhere to go
On his own like Romeo
Blow by blow he watches his money go
Now he's oh solo"

6) What would you rather be doing?

"in Brazil they got a pill
A real sheek cheeky pill
Take one too many nd you'll feel quite ill
But you'd really take a chance
In the boogie-woogie-dance"

7) describe where you live

"its a different scene
there are people there who are so obsene
if you see what i mean then theyve stolen your dream"

8) Describe how you love

"Don't believe me if i tell you
Not a word of this is true
There just might be some oither silly pretty girl
That i'm singing to"

9) A final few words of wisdom

"There are people that will investigate you
They'll insinuate, intimidate and complicate you
Don't ever wait or hesitate to state the fate that awaits those who
Try to shake or take you
Don't let them break you"

but evn more succintly:

"Its alright to lose your heart, but never lose your head."
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

went to see them last at Rock City in about 2006/7 and he was all over the fucking place, a real mess. i wrote him off as being a drugs casualty then found out months later (through D;oomwolf on here) that the poor c**t had had a stroke the day after. He made a full recovery i believe but i think that was the end of ZMW as a touring outfit. a shame. saw them loads of times all over the place 'back in the day'.
