Are you sure it isn't the other way around, space being curved, and all..?

Apparently it is in Leeds. So entirely possible.

I seem to remember this answer in an interview somewheres - can't remember when or which one though.

oh yeah ofcourse! duh. As was Shelley, Shakespeare and Lewis Carroll. All listening to The Sisters when writing their greatest work..only in Leeds....

I'm only here for the lesbian vampires, hope they're pacifists...and then a vampire slayer in the buff too.

Meanwhile,

...Interesting EvilBastard could be that all the romantics, maybe even the metaphysical poets were inspired by the vision of a certain Andrew Eldritch singing rock and roll lyrics inspired by their own works...who can say?

Sha la la la. I find the way he sings 'she needs you like she needs her tranqs' in Alice phenomenally erotic, for some reason

But that's just me

I find the way he sings a lot of stuff phenomenally erotic myself - and I thought it was just me too (well, not around here, but in, you know, real life most people I know don't hear it - course most of them aren't fans either ) The voice, the lyrics, the music, the beat, it all comes together perfectly in most (not all) of the songs - even songs not really about sex have a certain energy about them. It's stuff like that that I tend to find sexy, rather than songs and music that are much more obvious and explicit - too boring. I love the sexual undertones that run through the music, Sisters or otherwise.

Hmm - "even songs not really about sex have a certain energy about them" - who am I kidding, they're all about sex aren't they? We just went over this.

It is a well-known fact that intelligence, literary and philisophical knowledge - and the ability to use them well - and dark humour are the greatest aphrodisiacs known to mankind. Add to that a fine red wine and the occasional shot of whiskey and you have the perfect mix.

Dance the ghost with me indeed!

Well as a matter of fact, we are a legion.
Just don't get me started.....

Oh go on - get started!

I just love the fact that 'dance the ghost with me' is a Shelley-esque way of saying 'get your coat, you've pulled'

My ex became an alcoholic and then finally left me, after many years of myself repetedly choosing to spend nights with my headphones on instead of having normal human sex with him.
That's just for starters.

Friday afternoon, and my German tickets have just arrived, wahoooo!

Couldn't agree with you more. It's how I first noticed my boyfriend, matter of fact. I was working at a cafe years ago and he'd come in for coffee a few times a week, often making smart ass comments at the counter as I got his coffee. Could tell he had that dark and twisted sense of humour and was also quite well read, quite knowledgeable particularly in sociology, philosophy, higher mathematics and chemistry. Didn't hurt that I thought he was absolutely adorable either and wore Sisters and Thrill Kill tees under respectable looking button down shirts and a leather jacket. After we finally got together (outside of chatting on my smoke breaks at work) he admitted that the first time he walked in and saw me working he said to himself "I want that one" Even before learning we had similar senses of humor and taste in music and books and a lot to chat about in general. Not quite love at first sight, but, funny how things work out sometimes. Hah, now that you've heard how we met - sorry, got carried away. I still smile when I remember us first meeting, and running into each other at work for months before *really* talking much beyond a comment here and there.

The mind is definitely important in attraction, one of the most important things. Intelligence and dark humour are indeed powerful aphrodisiacs - well, for me and lots of us here it appears anyways. I know it turns some people off too though I have a hard time understanding why, but hey, everyone's different.

Even better is both (the music, not necessarily headphones) at the same time. I'm lucky enough to have a significant other with similar musical taste though - well, for the most part. We wholeheartedly agree on Sisters. As much as I love music, reading, playing around on the internet, various hobbies of my own, silence and complete solitude (which I do need regularly) - I also *need* human contact, mental emotional and physical. I get real cranky with no contact for a time - or no time at all to just be by myself and completely alone for a bit. It's a delicate balance really, one I've gotten better with and still am getting better at working.

Ah literary, philosophical blah is fine as long as the person is cute. Way of the world...

The testosterone-driven side is heard from...

I suspect that one's chromosomal pattern plays a significant role on what one hears in the lyrics.

Not boobies then?

fave lyrics by the man:

"to die in dreams, dissolve and fade"

"pass the crystal, spread the tarot, in illusion comfort lies"

"i don't sleep, so i don't dream, so i don't wake up frightened"

"Give me ever the years you wept inside when cold
All the sins and secrets never cried
All the dreams you kept and the tears you sold
Give me
Give me ever and always
Ever and always
Body and soul"

"words are just dust in deserts of sound"

to name but a few.

and untitled.

I don't agree. A person may not seem cute at all until you've had a good chat with them. Well, at least in my world. Same the other way round, no jingling bracelets or eyeliner will buy me if the person is stupid.

You're absolutely right of course. Though to many the literary, philosophical blah are ammunition in a 'You could be the one' mode. Personally being old and in a world where people shout I'm not easily impressed. Though I often give the opposite impression!

Not just in your world. It's an established psychological fact that, the more you like someone, the more attractive they are likely to become to you.

Absolutely - it's really interesting stuff. I remember reading an article on a study that was done that pretty much came up with those results, and I've experienced it myself of course.

Leave the sirens far behind me
Paint my name in black and gold
My heart my flame my heart my road
My heartland fade across the line
Heartland sing the faces shining
In the failing failing failing
Heartland make the places mine

Clearly now the past mistakes
The giant steps we had to take
The path that ever promise made to
Die in dreams dissolve and fade

My heartland heartland heartland

Behind the lines a face that glimmers
Still looking for a face that shines
In the promise in the places
I'm going to make them mine
