It's easy to skip this one but it's also nice to listen to it once in a while. Sounds a little more rock than the other, better, songs on the Body And Soul EP, but it still is worth it to listen to it. However, the imagery it gives with the lyrics is quite cool. Very raw sound, although a little monotonous. It also feels like quite a sweet song, at least for it being Eldritch who wrote it. He does repeat the last line of ''my heartland, heartland, heartland'' forty times, but at least he does change his tone, and although that takes half the song, it's not annoying and the first half is very interesting. Andrew sure does love his amphetamines as we know. But it makes sense, as someone pointed out on songmeanings, that it's a metaphor about drugs. Love for the death and for the defecationĪpparently the title and lyrics refer to cunnilingus. If you think of it as slow and sensual as opposed to ''much longer than it needs to be'', it's easier for it to grow on you. The rawness here is much better than the one in songs like The Damage Done. We're leaving Vision Thing alone for a little while to get back to their earliest stuff. This, however, feels like it goes on forever. It's quite romantic and emotive, which they (or he, I guess) otherwise seemed to be trying to avoid in many parts of VT.
However, it's a better version of the half-assed rock sound they wanted to give in the previous songs from Vision Thing. It's a little predictable even though the first few verses are nice. If I listened to music on shuffle I would skip it because life is too short to listen to this more than twice or so. YMMV but I find this very tiring to listen to. They're probably about something but they seem nonsensical either way, and not in the cool and ominous way.

The lyrics seem like they would be interesting but they didn't use their full potential. The Gathering is an example, but The Sisters aren't. Some bands change genres suddenly and they turn out to be much better at their new style. Andrew baby, you had already done it better. And also, recycling the ''get undressed'' line. I know there was a lot of repetition in the Floodland songs too but they were so amazing that it didn't matter. The lyrics are cool and all, but it would be easier to appreciate them without so much repetition. It's like Eldritch just didn't want to bother with the music anymore. ''Yeah, yeah, yeah.'' This is not that good. That being said, it wouldn't be accurate to judge the band as a whole taking the songs from this single much into account, that's like judging someone for who they were in middle school. Kind of a shame since it's a pretty cool song title.Īs is the case of the previous song, you can barely hear the vocals and it's nothing special, although it does have much more in terms of lyrics. This is a 30 second song, there's not much to say about it. We're not off to a good start and they weren't either.

The first single that we did with him was 'Alice', which was like our break in a very small way, as it got us into the indie charts The Psychedelic Furs put up all the costs so it was no skin off our noses. Gary Marx (1983/2003): “ Ben joined us last year.I wrote it in ten minutes about pills and tranks when I used to care about watching people I know get dragged down by that. Andrew Eldritch (1990): “My attitude to 'Alice' has changed over the years.Doktor Avalanche (drum machine) – drums."1969" (Originally performed by the Stooges)ĭave Alexander, Ron Asheton, Scott Asheton, Osterberg
