The Sisters of Mercy – Afterhours Lyrics 8 years ago
The other comments are very interesting and I agree. I Didn't know what a "Black Maria" is, thanks for clearing that. I want to mention in addition that this a moody, brooding menacing song and that the lyrics and the music fit perfectly to each other. You can imagine a moist cold night and a dry dusty heat at the same time (due to the deep monotonous bass and the western guitar sound). I'm sure the lyrics deal with sex (without much emotion) and drugs. So it bears some Rock'n Roll in the classic sense. But without doubt it's one of the Sisters' finest songs and one of my all time favorites in general. Let's take a ride.

Martin L Gore – Smile In The Crowd Lyrics 8 years ago
nice cover version by Martin Gore from his Counterfeit E.P. But the original version by The Durutti Column is better in my opinion. The lyrics are self-explaining, honest and quite beautiful.

Portishead – Scorn Lyrics 8 years ago
I always prefered this version to the original. It's so deep and dark.

Portishead – Roads Lyrics 8 years ago
I really like Portishead. This song is no exception. "Roads" is a song title that fits the lyrics well, but I wonder if it's first of all a word play because of the all present "Rhodes" piano. Just my two cents.
