The Sisters Of Mercy – The Damage Done
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor
Somebody tell me about the perfect bomb
The royal valley on a blitzkrieg bomb
Somebody tell me how to use my gun tools
Kiss the napalm in the afternoon
I saw the film, I saw the place
I live to work for the killing sake
When I think you’re knocked, when the radio died
And the rhythm played from every side
See the rebel and the damage done
See the debris and the damage done
See the wreckage and the damage done
See the film, see the damage done
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.
(this is the image, this is the place)
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor
(this is the way the world will end)
Somebody tell me about the …
(the waltzing man have dancing eyes)
I need to know about the …
(this is the way the world will end)
Me I’m lost and the radio’s dead
Now I’m relaxed and the radio’s dead
The rhythms gone, the radio’s dead
And the damage done inside my radio.
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the dance floor
Somebody tell me about the perfect bomb

Somebody tell me how to use my gun tools
Kiss the napalm in the afternoon
I saw the film, I saw the place

When I think you’re knocked, when the radio died
And the rhythm played from every side
See the rebel and the damage done
See the debris and the damage done
See the wreckage and the damage done
See the film, see the damage done
Somebody tell me about the rhythm of the 4th floor.

Me I’m lost and the radio’s dead
Now I’m relaxed and the radio’s dead
The rhythms gone, the radio’s dead
And the damage done inside my radio.

Los vuelos Manchester que tengo que tomar próximamente me dejan relativamente cerca de Leeds, tal vez me acerque a conocer la ciudad natal de SOM

Leeds (Inglaterra), 1980: Andrew Eldritch y el guitarrista Gary Marx forman The Sisters Of Mercy, fruto de su común amor a The Stooges, The Fall, Suicide y Pére Ubu. Empeñados en grabar un single “para escucharse a sí mismos en la radio”, fundan el sello Merciful Release y se autoeditan el tema ‘The Damage Done‘. Completando la formación con Craig Adams (bajo), Ben Gunn (guitarra) y una caja de ritmos bautizada con el atemorizante nombre de Doktor Avalanche, los Sisters encadenan una serie de singles y EPs que coronan sin dificultad los charts independientes.
Sus arrasadores conciertos, definidos por la prensa especializada como “un cruce entre Motörhead y Bach“, terminan por auparles como la nueva sensación de la pujante escena gótica british, y coronan a Eldritch como icono del género, un impersonator a medio camino entre Peter Murphy (Bauhaus) y Nick Cave.
