Lay me down the long white line, Leave the sirens far behind me, Paint my name in black and gold, My heart, my flame, my heart, my road

I liked falling asleep to music

When I got home, well drunk, I discovered I’d forgotten to switch my record player off, the LP I’d been listening to was still spinning on the turntable, the stylus clicking endlessly in the run-out groove. I lifted the arm, put the stylus down at the start and turned the volume up. First and Last and Always, I could listen to it for the rest of my life without ever getting tired of it. I ate a couple of slices of bread, gulped some water, made my bed up, turned the record over, switched off the lights and lay down. I liked falling asleep to music, the way my thoughts melted into the sonic darkness from which, before long, they could no longer be separated.

We'll turn away in a passive decision

We'll take the steps through the unmarked door

A look back for another collision

But the boys of the spires

Are boys no more

Not black and red boys

Frightened by the night

By the catholic monochrome

The catholic girls now

Stark in their dark and white

Dread in monochrome

The Sisters Of Mercy

High tide

Wide eyed

Sped on adrenochrome

For the Sisters Of Mercy

Filled with

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead on adrenochrome

We had the power

We had the space

We had a sense of time and place

We knew the words

We knew the score

We knew what we were fighting for

For the freedom

The time to choose

But time to think

Is time to lose

The signals clash

And disappear

The shade too loud

And the sound unclear

For the

High tide

Wide eyed

Dread in monochrome

Denied in spite

Disliked in monochrome

Panic in their eyes

Rise

Dead and monochrome

The sisters of mercy

Spite

On adrenochrome
