Sisters Images game. The reboot

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've spent days puzzling over this and suddenly realised what it is!

Raise your flippers ... er, arms.

Why aren't there more lines about penguins in Sisters songs?
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

I understand Kill the King... is a reference to the time Eldritch spent on the remote Crozet Island while writing material for Floodland.
During the time he was a attacked by a King Penguin. He was so shocked and incensed by this viscous and unprovoked attack he felt the need to pen his thoughts and came up with This Corrosion.

It's not a widely known fact that. ;D

And of course, the dive bombers in Lucretia are skuas stealing penguin chicks.

Not to mention the seminal album Fjordland.

Okay, this is either really straightforward or really lateral.

Maybe there should be a new rule: if the person whose turn it is doesn't post something after, say, a week, anyone can jump in and keep the game going.

If it is from Walk Away then it must be the
"And in the summer when the clouds show through"
line i suspect :)

but something tells me than it must be from Under the Gun ;D
