Song Of The Day

Points for discussion. The only realistic love song? Is "in a bar that's always closing" the saddest line ever written? Why does Emo bother to exist after this song (see also: "No Time to Cry")?

My favourite bootleg by this band is Floorshow, performed 1985 in Long Beach, California. The band's disdain for the audience comes through in lines like "Thank you for that whatever that was" (following scattered applause), "Sometimes people ask us why we're so gloomy, really they do, and we tell them, we're not, except when we have to play here" and my favourite, "This country is a banana republic. I want to go home."

True goth rock fans don't wear black. We walk among you like normal men, dreaming of hara-kiri.

The Sisters Of Mercy - I Was Wrong

You say "stay and never leave"
You say "meant forever"
I could believe you, but I don't
You say we're almost all alone together
All alone
You say
You say you will
I know you won't

CHORUS:
I was wrong
I was wrong to ever doubt
I can get along without
I can love my fellow man
But I'm damned if I'll love yours

In a bar that's always closing
In a world where people shout
I don't wanna talk this over
I don't wanna talk it out
I was quite impressed until I hit the floor
Isn't that what friends are for?
Pain looks great on other people
That's what they're for
