Biography

Rock band formed in Leeds, UK, in 1980, by singer [a=Andrew Eldritch] and guitarist [a=Gary Marx]. They were soon joined by drummer [a463064] – the stage name for what became a long succession of drum machines. The band’s dark subject matter, literary references (Eldritch’s lyrics nod to anyone from Shelley to [a227848]), cavernous reverb and black record sleeves led the music press to dub them a “goth rock” act, though the band has always rejected this description. The debut album *[Link]* was not released until 1985, and the lineup that recorded it split soon afterwards. To prevent departing members [a257204] and [a164067] from renaming themselves [a115235], Eldritch hurriedly released his own album under this name; Adams and Hussey instead formed [a99925]. Eldritch then rebooted the Sisters as a duo of himself and bassist [a155571]; the 1987 album *[Link]* prominently featured synthesizers. In 1990 the Sisters returned to live performance after a five-year absence, promoting a new album, *[Link]*, recorded mainly by Eldritch and guitarist [a238296]. Two further singles followed, before a long feud with record company [l999] began. Although the band, with various lineups, has continued to tour regularly – playing a mix of old and new songs – ever since, there has been no new Sisters release since 1993.

LYRICS

Watch them do
The falling over
Watch them do
The standing still
CHORUS
Nothing but the knife to live for
One life all I need
Give me one good reason
Give me more s.....

(Women)
And the women come and go
(Talk)
Talking about me like they know
(Men)
Bought and sold
And the world keeps turning
People cold
And people burning

CHORUS [x2]
(Amphetamine logic)

Hit up
Steel in hand
Lit up
Like candles
Burning
Like Catherine wheels
Turning
On

CHORUS [x3]
