The Sisters Of Mercy Some Kind Of Stranger (early version)

From England in the morning
I haven´t slept for days
I haven´t kept the promise made
And I know the world is cold
But that if you hold on tight to what you find
You might not mind too much
Though even this must pass away
And memories may last for years
But names are just for souveniers
Let me look into your eyes
And I don´t care what you´re called
Tell me later if at all
I can wait a long, long time before I hear another lovesong
Don't give me whys and wherefores
Reason for surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong
Come here
I think you´re beautiful
My door is open wide
Some kind of stranger come inside
I think you´re beautiful
I think you´re beautiful
I think you´re beautiful
Angel come inside
I think you´re beautiful

I think the official version, lyrics and music, is one of the greatest songs ever made. This is why I am surprised to find an early version that evolved to be a unique masterpiece of all time

I'm not surprised....

One of my Top 5 Sisters Songs . BRILLIANT STUFF from a Superb Band !

[@ralphchunksoup4234]

Wow .....At this very moment I needed this

[@misskaderzin]

i so agree, always loved this song but like this version even more. it's on the first & last & always deluxe reissue - comes with a bonus cd full of amazing (!!) tracks

[@stevehodgson3004]

Crikey. I love this song (probably one of my 3 favourite Sisters tunes) and this version is awesome - Andrew's voice has so much emotion in it. Give me this over any X-Factor or Britain's Got Talent soulless note-perfect karaoke any day!

Goosebumps

[@markgoodyer9030]

I adore this early working of one of the Great tunes. It is a pity that the picture on the front is from the wrong incarnation of the band. It may be a little thing but for new Goths there was a band b4 this that when they split up went on to form, The Mission, Ghost dance, Skeletal family. Please check out the early Recordings they are amazing.

[@iamwuf]

Believe me or not I'm actually the one who uploaded this video back when I was like 15. I can't remember how to get back into the KZbin and I don't even know what email it was under but I remember specifically using this picture just to annoy old goths. I was a young kid and knew how horribly offended people get especially older goths who just want to scold everyone. I figured Andrew Eldritch was in my position he would do what he can to piss people like you off as well so it seemed to fit the spirit of the band

[@michaelstevenson470]

@@iamwuf 'I figured Andrew Eldritch was in my position he would do what he can to piss people like you off...' Given the animosity that developed between Eldritch and Patricia Morrison it seems unlikely that he'd choose a publicity photograph that features her, as opposed to one of the line up from when the Sisters were a genuine band, playing actual gigs.

Very interesting version. Never heard of Andrew singing by so strange voice :)

[@kaanpullu]

That's because Andrew cannot really sing well in high notes. He also stated that he tried but couldn't. FALAA is full of bad high notes, possibly not only unintentional since he's aware of the issue too. Here he sings his high notes as clean as he can, and his voice is much younger. I know his suffering as a baritone 😂

Beautiful. Andrew belittles his poetry on the basis that it isn't four quartets. He is misguided in that. There is an extraordinary truth here.

[@nadina7722]

And yes I believe in what we had but words got in the way And only yesterday, as I was leaving, Lord knows I've tried to say But I've heard a million conversations going where they've been before Seen the way that careful lingers undecided at the door And all I know for sure, all I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling, the heat inside When bodies meet, when fingers touch All my words are secondhand and useless in the face of this Rationale and rhyme and reason, pale beside a single kiss And I've heard so many things, I fail to understand at all I'd settle anytime for unknown footsteps in the hall outside And all I know for sure, all I know for real Is knowing doesn't mean so much When placed against the feeling, the heat inside When bodies meet, when fingers touch Because the world is cruel and promises are broken Don't try to tell me anything, don't try to tell me You'll be true to me, you know the real truth is never spoken And I know the world is cold but if you hold on tight to what you Find you might not mind too much though Even this must pass away And memories may last for years but Names are just for souvenirs Some kind of angel, let me look into your eyes Don't give me why's and wherefore's reason or surprise I don't care for words that don't belong And I don't care what you're called, tell me later if at all I can wait a long, long time, before I hear another love song Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful, beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of angel come inside Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful, beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful My door is open wide Some kind of stranger come inside Come here I think you're beautiful I think you're beautiful, beautiful Some kind of stranger come inside

wrong picture

[@emilewicz14]

Not exactly. Patricia and Andrew became friends in 1983 during common US tour (the SOM and the Gun Club), while he was in a relationship with Claire. I don't know how close friends, admittedly. But if you look at the lyrics of this version and the final version...

[@MrFootbolt]

hate the electric drums on this ithink it was improved later on , the desperation is clearer and the terible drum machine isnt present [ i know lead singer wanted to do them but band outvoted him so the y ebded up with a machine,.... bit odf a control freak unfortunately ,... hence the band called 'the mission' they were at uni together

[@michaelstevenson470]

The later version that was released on 'First and Last and Always' is still a drum machine; apart from the very early recordings ('Damage Done', 'Watch') the Sisters have always had a Doctor Avalanche. And it is always been programmed by the 'lead singer' - and he's always 'out voted' everyone else. '...they were at uni together' No. Eldritch and Marx were regulars at Leeds venue the 'F Club', where Von's girlfriend Claire Shearsby was a DJ. - it grew from there.
