Some people get by
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
Some people get by
With a whole lot more
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
I want more

(and I need all the love I can get)
(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)

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
I don't know
Why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know
I want more

(and I need all the love I can get)
(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)

All the love that you can get
All the love
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...

Ah, yes, Eldritch and Co on the cusp of Goth and metal, before they fell right over into metal. The SoM sound is really distinctive - the echoey drums alone marks out their songs, added to which the esoteric, gnomic lyrics sung in Eldritch's, well, eldritch voice, nail them on. I particularly liked the songs with choral backing, like this effort. Floodland is a desert island disc for me, one that I would never be without, yea even beyond the grave.  8 from the closet Goth Nottingham jury.

  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.
