Sisters of Mercy - Giving ground

this is actually done by "sisterhood" the sisters of mercy side project but whose being particular?


Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme, Gimme
In the place, through which we wander
Reason turned around
And every fool
Will see his madness drowned
And every truth is swallowed up
By ... is giving ground

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

I watch
Surrender
Because I know
...
Now I know you will not see
The madness we have seen
Now I know you cannot be
All that your fright has been

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

Words are just dust
I stood but you just could not wait
Behind
Because I know you cannot be
All that your fright has been

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

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

I've been a fan for about 15 years and i think that Sisterhood came before Sisters of Mercy instead of the other way around. I used to have the SIsterhood-gift (cd) before it was stolen. Through youtube i found 'jihad' again at least. Looking for the version of 'colors' that was from that cd and not the later version released by Sisters of Mercy on (i think) Vision Thing?

@djjohnmartin Completely wrong. The Sisters of Mercy were first, but Andrew Eldritch, the singer and Wayne Hussy, guitarist had a falling out. Both were using the name Sisters of Mercy and hussey, so Eldritch used The Sisterhood...when he finally won the rights to use the name he switched back to The Sisters of Mercy. Colours was released on both Gift and the album right after it, Floodland.

@djjohnmartin For a fan of 15 years, you should know by now that Sisters of Mercy were around before SISTERHOOD. The early singles, Reptile House, Temple of Love (came out way before 1992), Body and Soul, First and Last and Always. They were all before Sisterhood and GIFT came out. Sisterhood was between First and Last and Always and Floodland.

The other version of Colours was released on FLOODLAND, not Vision Thing.

I know this is 2 years ago, but come on.

I saw Sisters of Mercy in the early 90's in Detroit! Amazing show.

@djjohnmartin

no sisters came first then when it went to litigation Eldritch formed the sisterhood then reverted to the sisters

@doktorgriff It's OK.

I'd love to hear the early songs played as they were recorded - (no thrashing guitars where there shouldn't be) when they play their 30th anniversary gigs next year.

2 dates in Leeds so far, and I hope they add Rock City to the list as well.

@originalgoth Yeah, it is 2 5000, my mistake, let's put it down to being "tired and emotional", but some good new stuff would be sound aswell. Sorry on that one.
