With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more
I want more
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
(and I need all the love I can get)
(and I need all the love that I can't get to)
D'you get scared to feel so much?
To let somebody touch you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control
Hard to come by, and harder to hold
Some people get by
With a little understanding

There are parts of me that don't get nervous
Not the parts that shake
You won't get what you deserve
You are what you take
Learning to cry for fun and profit
I'm not done yet
Counterfeit dollars or the english zloty
Anything I can get
Some people get by
With a little understanding
Some people get by
With a whole lot more

That I can't get to...
1990's. The Warehouse, Calgary Alberta. "Alternative" private nightclub owned by a flamboyant gay couple in a redneck city. One of the original and true 'safe spaces' for the freaks, goths, gays, metalheads, punks, artists and otherlings - a sideshow assortment of clientele who would get their asses kicked by the drunken mooks on Electric Avenue, were it not for us being able to close well after hours. Gorgeous door girls, adorable busboys, a mysterious manager, moody bartenders all employed in an authentic "Underground" club. Crazy murals popped from flat black walls, motley members awash in psychedelic projections, wild eyes glowing under black light, white limbs frozen in strobe - all moving to the thunderous cues of eccentric DJ's.
Drugs, drama, and drag queens... (RIP Marcelle)
The cage dancer, with her shaved head, tattoos and spiderweb earrings - would go wild when The Sisters of Mercy came on - it was a Sublime Time.
What a sweet surprise! Thanks for the memories RP.
What a great comment. Thanks for all those vivid memories....and for sharing them in a way that makes some of us feel like we were there with you...
My inner Beavis rated this a 10.

See you in a bit

So true. Spent a few late nights there myself!

Oh, I'm glad it's here. : )
and it's not even my favorite song of theirs. it'd be great to hear 'something fast' next time!
DITTO!
Eclectic includes a bit of goth. It's not a big deal! :)
I wasn't the one questioning its inclusion; I was questioning the apparent questioning.
Focus out to the set, not the individual song. Bill is a genius!
On what basis?

So am I.
Every song belongs on RP.

Yes I can hear that, putting out the fire with ....synth and filthy guitar, but would David Bowie approve or is he turning in his grave?
And not to forget, it makes me jump around...
Billy Idol was my first thought hearing this! I don't love it, but it is rocking.
True story.
Haha..!!!!
True story.
(Sorry if you happen to be 5 or so hours behind). You can't say you don't get variety on RP.
Great to hear this one again. it'd be pretty boring if we all liked the same thing, wouldn't it eh?
To say that it's mediocre (even though woefully so) is quite generous on your part.
The rest... "listenable".

Now there is a religion I could get into.
Well, just let yourself go and become uninhibited and dance your ass off!!! You might like it!
Exactly. 2 more months
I am glad it was added, nice change of pace! Woke up a bit too... :)
no

The same way this song got introduced to Bill's playlist?
Also: Lighten up, Francis.
Holy Cow! Hasn't Parsons filed suit? (talking about the image)
Ancient Egypt might have to weigh in on this. Isn't this the Eye of Osiris?

Maybe he's afraid of being counter-sued by the Ancient Egyptian God Horus.
Whoops, just caught HeyMickey's comment. Guess not.
Me three. I logged on just to make the same comment.
Sisters of Mercy on Radio Paradise!
Bill, I love you! One of the best songs of that decade!
BTW: Sisters of Mercy named themself after a song by Leonard Cohen....

Derivative, formulaic tripe of inorganic, label-driven origin.
Bleah, bleah, and ever, bleah.
Just never liked it. No offense intended to those who enjoy TSOM or whose memories of the group are elegiac.
Whoops, just caught HeyMickey's comment. Guess not.
even Wikipedia thinks so...
This was co-written with Jim Steinman. Noted without comment.

AS PRIMITIVE AS IT GETS!
AND AS GREAT AS CAN BE!!!

My mother always told me....... If you do not have something good to say........keep your thoughts to yourself.
Does this song remind anyone of that Dracula rock opera from Forgetting Sarah Marshall?
"Die! Die! Die! ... I can't!"
good call....funny
Yowee! watch out, someone here might bash you for that one!!!
I keep expecting "Putting out fires with gasoline". None-the-less I'm still compelled to check out more Sisters of Mercy. Don't know how I missed them back then. Any suggestions where to start?
True. The Sisters slipped from Goth into standard HM with their Vision Thing album, and aren't a patch on the Sisters of the 80s who were dark, edgy and innovative (that special drum sound, for a start). This is ok but is a pale shadow of their previous self. 6 from the (closet Goth) Nottingham jury.
