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!"

Funny enough, that was NOT the post that got me blocked for a day in the FB group. 
Clearly now the past mistakes
The giant steps we had to take
The path that ever promise made to
Die in dream dissolve and fade

I had no idea how much UTG had taken from this.
Thanks for posting this.

I'll probably revise this one day but here is a paragraph from my Vol. II about UTG:
‘Under the Gun’ was recorded to appease Warners executives, who again wanted a single to accompany the album release. While it has gone down in popular history as the final original Sisters Of Mercy song to receive an official release, it was, in fact, a remix or reimagination of another song called ‘Two Worlds Apart’ written by Billie Hughes and Roxanne Seeman (professional songwriters both) for NBC’s daytime soap opera ‘Another World.’ Terri Nunn of Berlin fame, a fan of The Sisters since ‘This Corrosion,’ sang vocals on the track and, in 1992, sent Eldritch the tape of it through the mail. He decided to turn it into a Sisters track – sort of. Eldritch had met Nunn once, in the mid 1980s, but they did not meet for ‘Under The Gun.’ Nunn’s vocal track was already on the tape, which Eldritch thought was so “great” that it need not be rerecorded. “Teri has a voice like an angel,” he claimed. Essentially, then, he re-edited the song, changed the bass, drums, and keyboards “a little bit,” wrote and sang a verse at the top and added a near-monologue at the end. ‘Under The Gun,’ then, is not properly a cover version, but neither is it precisely a remix. It’s something like a renovation of an existing song. Finally, Eldritch found “a friend from Leeds to put some electric guitar” on it. His friend was called Adam Pearson.
