The Sisters of Mercy - Fix

Love for the party love for the nation
Love for the fix for the fabrication
Love for the corpse for the corporation
Love for the death and for the defecation
Romance and assassination
Give me the love for the genocide
Give me love

The Sisters Of Mercy - Floorshow

The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violent sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices singing the line on line
This is the floorshow the clapping hands
Animal flow from the animal glands
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and ...

I feel the bite I feel the beat I see the dancing feet
I feel the light I feel the heat I see the new elite
I see the final floorshow I see the western dream
I see the faces glow and I see the bodies steam

See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go

This is the floorshow the last ideal
It's populist got mass appeal
The old religion redefined
For the facile futile totally blind

Mundane by day inane at night
Pagan playing in the flashing light
In the violet hour to the violent sound
Going round and around and around and around and ...
The bodies on the naked on the low damp ground
In the violet hour to the violent sound
And the darkness the blinding the eyes that shine
And the voices singing line on line

See them shimmy see them go
See their painted faces glow
Slow slow quick quick slow
See those pagans go go go go go

The Sisters Of Mercy - Body Electric

Through the cables and the underground now
The faceless breathless calls
This is Babel, sensurround now
This place is death with walls
This place is death with walls
This place is death with walls
This place is death with walls

Too much contact, no more feeling
The Sound around them all
Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling
And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall
And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall
Crawling to the corners where the idiot children call
See the body flashing on the bathroom wall

The Sisters of Mercy - Lights

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades
Ignore the voices, discard the day
For the brand new darkness, for the bright new way
Hit
There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand
Emerald signal, the green on black, the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I've never been seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain

The lights shine clear through the sodium haze
The night draws near and the daylight fades, but there's a
Voice in the distance, quiet and clear, saying
Something that I never ever wanted to hear

There have been better plans, but
None that I could ever understand, I see the
Emerald, see the signal, see the green on black, I see the
Lights say move, say never look back and so I
Find another place where I'll never be seen
Find another place where the red turns green, where the
Emerald glistens through the darkness again, where the
Emerald glistens through the rain, rain, rain and I'm
Happy here
In the rain
In the rain
In the rain, rain, rain, I'm happy here
In the rain
Where the emerald
Glistens
Through the rain

The Sisters Of Mercy - Gimme Shelter

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Yeah, I'm gonna fade away

War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah

Oh, see the fire is sweeping
Down through the streets today
Burning like a bright red carpet
Another fool who lost the way

Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Yeah

Oh, see the storm is threatening
My very life today
Gimme, gimme shelter
Yeah, or I'm gonna fade away

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
War, children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Rape, murder
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
Love, sisters
It's just a shot away
Shot away
Shot away
War

Children
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away
Kiss away

The Sisters Of Mercy feat. Ofra Haza - Temple Of Love [1992 Version]

With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love, shine like thunder
In the temple of love, cry like rain
In the temple of love, hear my calling
In the temple of love, hear my name

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the sunlight died and night above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before us
Black wind calls my name to you no more

Ooooooooh

In the black sky thunder sweeping underground
And over water sounds of crying weeping
Will not save your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing, ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love (temple of love), shine like thunder
In the temple of love (temple of love), cry like rain (cry like rain)
In the temple of love (temple of love), hear the calling
And the temple of love
Is falling down

Ooooooooh
Temple of love
Ooooooooh
Temple of love
Ooooooooh

In the temple of love (temple of love), shine like thunder
In the temple of love (temple of love), cry like rain (cry like rain)
In the temple of love (temple of love), hear the calling

In the black sky thunder sweeping underground
And over water sounds of crying weeping
Will not save your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and air remains
The only haven you can trust

And the devil in black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

Ooooooooh
Temple of love
Ooooooooh

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love (temple of love), shine like thunder
In the temple of love (temple of love), cry like rain (cry like rain)
In the temple of love (temple of love), hear the calling
And the temple of love
Is falling down

The Sisters Of Mercy - Alice

Alice pressed against the wall
So she can see the door
In case the laughing strangers crawl and
Crush the petals on the floor

Alice in her party dress
She thanks you kindly
So serene
She needs you like she needs her tranqs
To tell her that the world is clean
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Pass the crystal spread the Tarot
In illusion comfort lies
The safest way the straight and narrow
No confusion no surprise

Alice in her party dressed to kill
She the thanks you turns away
Needs you like she needs her pills
To tell her that the world's okay
To promise her a definition
Tell her where the rain will fall
Tell her where the sun shines bright
And tell her she can have it all
Today
Today

Alice
Don't give it away
Nooo

The Sisters Of Mercy - Heartland

Lay me down the long white line
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 dream 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

My heartland, heartland, heartland.....

The Sisters Of Mercy - Under The Gun

You don't have to say you're sorry
To look on further down the line
Into the sun
Too close at heaven
Love is fine
But you can't hold it like a ...

Two worlds apart and two together
Into that good night kiss away
One takes the hard
One the other
Kiss a way

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
When the road gets too tough
Is your love strong enough?

(Are you living?)
(Are you living for love?)

Do you feel your head is full of thunder?
Questions never end?
Empty nights alone? No wonder
It all comes back again

Are you living for love?
Are you living for love?
I've been under the gun
I've lost and I've ...

(One, two, three, four ...)
Forget the many steps to heaven
It never happened and it ain't so hard
Happiness is a loaded weapon and a
Short cut is better by far
Explosive bolts, ten thousand volts
At a million miles an hour
Abrasive wheels and molten metals
It's a semi-automatic, get in the car
Corrosive heart and frozen heat
We're worlds apart where we could meet
Where the street fold round and the motors start
And the idiot wields the power
Where the chosen hold the highest card
On the field of honour where the ground is hard
So the highest hand is joking wild
And the house soon fold and no-one stand
I put my finger on and dialled
The tower, the moon, the gun, and
Nine nine nine, singer down
Cloudburst and all around
The first are last, the blessed get wired
The best is yet to come
I put my finger on and fired
Heat-seeking, out of the sun
You can set the controls for the heart or the knees
And the meek'll inherit what they damn well please
Get ahead, go figure, go ahead and pull the trigger
Everything under the gun

And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the black sky thunder sweeping
Underground and over water
Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and only air remains

In the temple of love
Shine like thunder
In the temple of love
Cry like rain

Hear the calling
And the temple of love

In the temple of love
Hear my name

Sounds of crying weeping will not save
Your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing
Ninety-six below the wave
When stone is dust and air remains
The only haven you can trust

And the devil in a black dress watches over
My guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning
Black wind come carry me far away

With the fire from the fireworks up above
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love
Shine like thunder cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong
But the wind blows stronger cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before
This black wind calls my name to you no more

In the temple of love you hide together
Believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls
As wide as lovers eyes

In the temple of love
Cry like rain
In the temple of love
Hear my calling
And the temple of love
Is falling down
