Sisters Image Game contd...

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.

None of the above.

It's two clues in one.

Need another clue?

Like I said, it's two clues in one. The first is the American football line you've all been taking but you need to know the terminology.

The other involves knowing who's in the picture.

Right, so the Internet educated me that "Go Long" basically means "throwing a ball to a player far away", e.g. a very long pass. Then that is Virgin Mary holding the football ... searching the Internet for cross references between American Football and Virgin Mary revealed the term "Hail Mary" pass.

Alas, the lyrics are probably from Something Fast:

Yes, that's what I meant. Heartless worked out the answer and gave a full explanation of it too.

Great. Trying to come up with some equally clever this evening, should have something until the morning, e.g. within the next 12 hours. This is getting difficult if one does not want it to be too obvious.

Nope, that is not the song I was looking for. :-)

Neither of the two, and Marian is also "too new". Izzy and Nikolaus have the right era with their guesses.

Again, neither. Good guesses, though. Another hint: It's a non-album song from that early era.
