| The Sisters of Mercy – Amphetamine Logic Lyrics | 20 years ago |
|
I agree with most of your interpretation, PreiSamhain, but there is no hidden meaning behind the absence of the word "Amphetamine" on the back of the CD. This is copied and pasted from the official Sisters of Mercy website: Q: "Why is 'Amphetamine Logic' listed on the outside of the album artwork simply as 'Logic'?" A: "The record company (WEA) were adamant that Woolworth's, WH Smith and other respectable wholesale retailers would not display albums with song titles featuring the word 'amphetamine'. So they refused to print the full title on the outside album sleeve. This was 1985, remember, when places like WH Smith wouldn't even stock satirical magazines like 'Private Eye'. The argument wasn't worth a six-month contractual meltdown." |
