Jesus Loves The Sisters

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.

Where does this expression come from please? I think I've only ever seen it on a shirt.

Thank you.

First saw it on badges sold on the early 1985 tour, but it may have been about before. Unfortunately, lost the badges ages ago during a house move…

Isn't it etched into the runout groove on one of the early singles? Alice 12" IIRC

Edit to add: which ties in with "Jesus Loves The Stooges" because of 1969

Now this makes sense, especially after I found this thread - https://www.myheartland.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=894 which includes

"
Alice 12"
im westen nichts neues – jesus loves the sisters, mein irisch kind, wo weilest du?
for Spiggy (foreign field)

"

And googling "mein irisch kind, wo weilest du?" we come up with a line from The Wasteland which translates as my "Irish child, where are you?"

I always thought the person who did the mastering scratched in run off messages but this seems very close to Von. Did he master these?


( I am a bit bored at home with time on my hands, yes)

"Im Westen Nichts Neues" is the original German title for "All Quiet On The Western Front" by the way.

Yes I think they're "Porky Prime Cuts" but it seems very likely that Eldritch had input, given the content.

Cool. So as a phrase it's a Stooges stealing/inspired Eldritch-ism from the sounds of it. Probably.

I thank you.

Jesus Loves The Stooges is the name of the last track on the 1980 Iggy And The Stooges Album "I'm Sick Of You" . it's an odd one but its worth listening to all the way through -once at least- for the fabulous piano if nothing else.
