Or what?

...

Never mind.
I got some more and these two were really annoying, very hard lyrics to interprete and couldnt find anything on the web but altered, strange versions of the songs that seemed a lot like them but they weren't.

Driver

"Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Call me weird but call me Friday
Call me when the sun goes down
We will find the public highway
We will wind the windows down
Call me at the magic hour
Then the morals run to ground
Ethics yield to speed and power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round

Life is short and life is cruel
But we have fear and we have fuel
We are never coming down
Trace the future on this glass
Lines across the middle and the
Holds the places ever faster
Rushing through the shame and shadow
While the placer flashes past
The sounds that fills the big black cars is ours, the drum machines and first guitars

But use your mad acceleration
We are never coming down
We will live forever while the wheels go wheeling round and round
Call me weird but call me Friday
Call me when the sun goes down
We will fly along the highway
We will wind the windows down
Call me at the magic hour
When the morals run to ground
Reason yields to speed and power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round"

I kept this version, though I found this heap of rubiish on the web, advertised as "Sisters of Mercy Driver Lyrics"

Lay me down the long white line
Leave the sirens far behind me
Home to weakness
Home to silence
Follow me when the sun goes down
We will find a heartless highway
We will wind the windows down
... me at the mounted towers
Then the marvels, ... friends abound ...
While the wheels go wheeling round and round
Life is short and life is cruel
But we have beer and we have fuel
We are never coming down
Push the creature on it's back
Lines across the middle ...
Houses vacant everafter
Gusting through the cold and shadow
While the ... flashes past
Around we ... the big black car
... touch the sky

... sell your bracelets
We are never coming down
We will be forever wild
The wheels go wheelings round and round
And the wheel ...s come in silence
Follow me when the sun goes down
We will fly along the highway
We will wind the windows down
... me at the mounted towers
When the ... turns around
Reason ... power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round

... sell your bracelets
We are never coming down
We will be forever wild
The wheels go wheelings round and round
And the wheel ...s come in silence
Follow me when the sun goes down
We will fly along the highway
We will wind the windows down
... me at the mounted towers
When the ... turns around
Reason ... power
While the wheels go wheeling round and round

Which is only partially right and the rest seems to come from another song.

{EDIT} saved by www.sisterswiki.org

Found the nearly correct lyrics there, helping me a lot.

Therefor I have only one thing to say and that is; the second time the line
"When the morals run to ground" can be heard as the much more beautiful
"Burn the marbled twins to ground"

Burn it Down

Ok let me tell you what I originally thought it was, as this was definately
one of the hardest songs I ever did.

(first listen version)
(Carefully wheel the ring on fire
The boys grow old and the things grow higher
Chase the yellow chase the gold, your Orion chant white light in my soul
The juggling man and the idiot clowns
We will burn this circus to the ground
Guns I take I hope to turn, stand and watch me fitting hurling down
Chase the yellow chase the gold, your name chant the white light in my soul
Burn it burn it burn it burn it down)

Then I read this quote:

paintitblack wrote:Juggling with the ring of fire
The bullets blow holes and the flames go higher
Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and the white lie in the stones
The juggling men and the idiot clowns
We will burn this circus down to the ground
Because some day I hope to turn and
Stand and watch this city burning down
Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and the white lie in the stones
Burning, burning, burning, burning down

I got confused, listened again and made it

Burn in Down

"Catherine wheel the ring on fire
The boys grow old and the things go higher
Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and white lie in the soul

The juggling men and the idiot clowns
We will burn this circus to the ground

'Cause I take I hope to turn
Stand and watch this sitting, hurling down

Chase the yellow, chase the gold
The orange and the white lie in the soul

Burn it burn it burn it burn it down"

verrry hard to hear, especially the soul/stone and
"Cause I take I hope to turn" pieces.

since I really liked TidalÂ´s posts I went fishing, too.
maby tidal could help me with some hard to hear words, because he does have a lot more training with fishing than me.

THE SISTERHOOD

Giving ground

Gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme,
gimme, gimme, gimme, gimme, giving ground
In the place, through wich we wander
Reason turned around
And every fool, fool, fool
Will see his madness drowned s
And every truth is swallowed up
By (gently) giving ground, ground, ground

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the truth is drowned

I watch surrender
Because i know

( anything?)
Now i know you will not see
A/the madness we have seen
And now i know you cannot be
All that your fright has been, has been, has been

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is lost and your trust lies broken
And the thruth is drowned

Words are just dust

I stood but you just coud not wait
Behind
Because i know you cannot be
All that your fright has been, has been, has been

What you have lost can never be found
Words are just dust in deserts of sound
Everything is/has lost and the truth is drowned
Everything is/has lost in the giving ground, ground, ground
Everything is lost
Everything is lost in the giving ground
Gimme gimme gimme gimme

Turned around,
Reason turned around
In the giving ground
In the giving ground
Everything is lost
In the giving ground

overall the lyrics donÂ´t alter to much from the ones allready available on the internet, but the echos are not listet on lyrics sites.

Ok, first part: By (gently) giving ground, ground, ground
he definitely sings something but IÂ´m not to sure what... in the live version it sounds like gently.

Because i know

( anything?)
thats only guessed it sounds like ahhaaa... in my bootleg he doesenÂ´t sing this word

A/the madness we have seen: probably the.

when he sings: Everything is/has lost and the truth is drowned
in the last part I wondered if it might is has, but IÂ´m not sure...

would be nice if Tidal or someone else could help to solve this mysterys. sadly I only have one bootleg of the song so I canÂ´t listen to it in more than two differnt versions...

ok, IÂ´m looking forward to your input.

And we have another recruit

I'm very glad to hear you've joined in too LittleSister. Although I myself am keeping a strict order of songs I'm going to "fish", I have nothing against you trying your own sequence and I'll be glad to help.

About the echoes; I used to write them out fully as well, but later decided it was foolish as they aren't really "lyrics"anymore, they're just musical effects, the text itself really isn't supposed to have that many times one word. And it would make things very hard as well.

I think it's certainly "gently". It also fits in with the rest of the lyrics and it's what I heard as well.

About the "because I know", I have decided (for myself at least) that it's no lyric. It's just some shout. "aahahaahaaaahaa" indeed.

The "a/the madness" thing is something I have been in trouble with myself. I don't know. So far I've heard "a" but I can't decide until I get to "Gift"in my fishing spree.

Same with "has/is", I don't really know either. I'd have to listen to my the song as if fishing in it but at the moment I'm kinda...unable to do so (I'm kneedeep in homework as the year is coming to an end and my teachers are stacking up everything

so listening to the Sisters would distract me while working and I've decided not to listen to music as long as school is still going)...

I will help you with any song as soon as I get the chance!

hey, thats a quick reply from the fisherman!
thanks a lot.

no problem, do your best for school. I finish my final exams tomorrow

we will have all the time to fish after that - there probably wonÂ´t be any knew fishing grounds soon anyway

This thread is hysterical. I can only say good on ya' at Tidal... but, what's funnier is the other heartland members trying to bring this chaps decent into maddness into attention but being completely drowned out by by the fury of the tide.

As an obsessive music fan I can understand you Tidal, but you are obviously several sandwiches short of a picnic.

I'm just going to go back to collecting pictures of Rosetta Stone...

Oh my. Today my second legal Sisters product arrived (

)
: First and Last and Always(remastered)!

Man, I felt it coming... yes I knew it was coming but it hit me anyway; I dove in a sea of madness, crashed in headfirst. Madnesss... MADNEEEEEEEESZZ!!!

Some Kind of Stranger (early studio version)

"Some England in the morning
I haven't slept for days
I haven't kept the promise made

And I know the world is cold but if you hold on tight to what you find you might not mind too much though even this must pass away
And memories may last for years but names are just for souvenirs
Let me look into your eyes
And I don't care what you're called, tell me later if at all
I can wait a long long time before I hear another love song
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason for surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong

Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Angel come inside
I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
Come here I think you're beautiful
Come here I think you're beautiful, angel come inside
I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful, beautiful
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful
I think you're beautiful, beautiful
Some kind of stranger come insiiiiiiide"

Re: Giving Ground, you really do need to listen to the original 7" single version, as it answers all of those questions about the missing bits in the LP version.

There's no great mystery or hidden meaning, some of the lyrics were just cut for the LP version.

I don't have time to transcribe at the moment, but you should be able to find something in the Lyrics section.

I think you two young men need to take some drugs and/or strong drink... medical supervision is also a good idea

Unfortunately the site crashed at 9 juli (or something like that), wiping out every post since june 22. I have not been able to reconstruct it so I'm just giving my lyrics and the basic posts.

Tidal wrote: Garden of Delight

Shimmering over all those whispered faces
And the promise burning brightly in their eyes
But this violent flesh the cut that bleeds a kiss that sings
Desperate snows fall from desperate skies

Take my hand and lead me to the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me home

Reflections in the liquid windswept mirror
The breathless world- elegance and charm
The treasured touch the first touch of a stranger
Enchant me
Entrance me

No harm so take my hand and lead me to the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me home

This child of death, kissing in the playground
Senses swirling faithful to the kill
Playing with fire a chance among the playsound
Covered in burns and ceremony
Dancing still

So take my hand and lead me to the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me to the garden
Of delight
Of delight
Take my hand and lead me to the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me to the garden
Of delight
Of delight
Take my hand and lead me to the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me

Dance On Glass

Wail of thunder, kiss and the scream
Hold out my arms in stop stop this show
Howling for the glory of the innocent
But donâ€™t despair for the shame I know
The taste of ash on my tongue
Faith and prayers, wanting dust
Enchanting strangers, blood on their cheeks
All my dreams are covered in rust

Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Heart that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged for the love of God
My dreams look thin

Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs

A whisper and a promise
Lit on fire
Kiss the heavens where the angels thread
Love is a corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

So dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs

Tarnish, taint and punish me softly
Heart that bleeds and burning skin
Screaming in the darkness, torn and ragged for the love of God
My dreams look thin
A whisper and a promise
Lit the fire
Kiss the heavens where the angels thread
Love is a corpse that draws on dreams
Rips them apart and tears them to shreds

So dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Dance
Dance on glass
Saints and martyrs
Dance
Dance on glass

Red Skies Disappear

Out of our hair grows, stop this falling
Catch me flying, calling your name
Marianne, do no more than
Watch and try and understand
Well Iâ€™ve found the word descending
All around me, all around
Marianne
Take my hand
Lay beside me on the burning sand

Marianne, only you can
Say the words I need to hear
Marianne, only you can
Make these red skies disappear

Marianne, only you can
Say the words I need to hear
Marianne, only you can
Make these red skies disappear

Marianne, can you not hear me calling
Touch me now in my hour of need
Speak to me softly, lay down beside me
Oh Marianne Iâ€™m begging you please
Draw curdle red drag east to lair
Donâ€™t try and understand
Sun is falling on the burning sand
Can you hear me calling, Marianne!

Marianne, only you can
Say the words I need to hear
Marianne, only you can
Make these red skies disappear

I gave quite some comments on these, but I don't remember what. The responses were like this

iesus wrote:Certainly not "out of our hair grows"!
..blablabla... maybe you could do Slept here?

Markfiend wrote:Our interpretation is here (gives link)

Tidal wrote:Great idea, could someone send me a link to a New Songs download?

And that's where it ended. We start anew, but I'm too uninspired to restore my comments on my interpretation of Garden of Delight, Dance on Glass and Red Skies Disappear. Slept will soon be here though!

But first...vacation in Italy!

(Bah, I hate that, I'm really the type to be sitting in my room behind my PC all day long for the entire vacation..)
Cya guys in 3 weeks!

Tidal, I think I could use your help.

There are a few Rosetta Songs I am trying to decipher the lyrics for, do you think you could help me out?

I could send you the tracks (and who knows, maybe get you into an excellent band

).

So! I did Slept...I used the Sisters Bite Paris youtube version and a version Maisey shared with me for comparison.
It was pretty insane hard, nearly impossible to hear a word. The words I filled in here are mostly pure guesses based on the closest English word I could think of. So get ready for a good laugh.

These two were my first tries, without checking lyrics sites or hints; just by listening closely.

Tidal wrote: (Bite Paris version)

Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
I need a week of zoominâ€™
I need be huge energy be chasing where we live
I can take away you knew it
Iâ€™ll be making all the news and maybe hates me teach away
Just being downtown with you

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls on smoke and girls on lead
Girls on strings and girls on s**t
Girls with joke and races seen
Girls with swallow in their eye
Girls in cries just pose ahead
Paradise is by the sunset
Girls with thousand girls on chips
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are dreamers, girls are trips
Girls are girls, girls are drips
I go too far where hear me whistle, gee-gee left again
Girls like you with poisonâ€™s lips
Girls like you like crystal whips
Girls down over Stellaâ€™s green
The fourteenth lean comes pose

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

/////////////////////////////////////////////

(Maisey shared version)

Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again
Oooooooh take me down again

I need to wake up in a zoo, man
Iâ€™ll be huge energies
Iâ€™ve be chase the nightly guest
I can take what I need from what
Iâ€™ve been making out in ways that make the grisly years away
Just leave me downtown in your flame rounds

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls in smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed
Girls with you can move the smile
Girls with swallow in their eye
Girls that cry to talk again
Never touch the silver token
Girls in cars and girls on flips
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are fools, girls are trips
Girls are better sales on tits
I go too far with you to hiss a king with flair again
Girls like you with poison slits
Girls like you like kiss your lips
Girls in a Homer cellar tree
But the burn degree with challenged species

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

So they dont make any sense at all.

Then I checked Markfiend's try and some other sites, to see if their ideas sounded better. I noted that one thing's for sure: Andy does NOT sing the exact same words during his various gigs, he shifts a bit. The song might still be under construction. I finally polished up a mix between all my observations that sounded best, added some wishful thinking ans there you go:

(BASED on Maisey's shared version)

Slept

"Oooooooh take me home again
Oooooooh shake me home again
Oooooooh shake me down again

I could wake up in this zoo, man
Iâ€™ve been used and abused, Iâ€™ve been chastened Iâ€™ve been bruised
I could take what Iâ€™ve been through, then
Iâ€™ve been naked down the news, Iâ€™ve been debased and disabused
Just leave me downtown in your hideout

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin

Girls in smoke and girls on weed
Girls on coke and girls on speed
Girls who choke and girls that smile
Girls that swallow in denial
Girls with crisis up ahead
Never touch the silver token
Girls in bars and girls on steps
Girls with miles of girls on strips
Girls are dreamers, girls are trips
Girls are girls, girls are drips
And a girl too far with pale blue lips so shake me down again
Girls like you with poison tips
Girls like you like crystal whips
Girls in your own cellar tree
With a burning aching jealousy

Turn me over
Turn me in
I have slept with all the girls in Berlin"

Still doesn't make sense but atleast it sounds better. People will say they hear something else because Andy indeed sings something else, at another gig, and he will keep doing that until the new CD comes out.
We can say we're quite certain about a few small parts though:
