Cover art for Some Kind Of Stranger lyrics by Sisters of Mercy, The

the change from "some kind of angel" into "some kind of strange" could a sign on the desperation in the need of love

Call me an optimist trying to find optimism in a Sisters of Mercy song, but I think there is a ray of hope in this one. "Some kind of angel let me look into your eyes"... such a tender line. Maybe he doesn't want to be promised anything, and doesn't what vows to be said that are doomed to be broken...maybe he just wants to remain in silent, mysterious, love with her.
