She go talking warm and fashion she go talking debonair. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that this was the idea behind this image - the idea of raising your arms in joy and exhilaration, but also if you raise your arms in the middle of water, you sink - therefore, surrender, to the flood. She go walking she go crawling she go sliding through the air. Love the "raise your arms" image too - raising arms either joyfully, or also in surrender. Watch them do The falling over Watch them do The standing still Nothing but the knife to live for One life, all I need Give. Can't really pick each lyric apart though, it's really the entire song as a whole. See her face turn to a mask and passion turn to she don't care. She go talking warm and fashion, she go talking debonair but. She go walking, she go crawling, she go sliding through the air. She go talking warm and fashion she go talking debonair. Baby buy an Anaconda, Baby buy a thing to wear. She go walking she go crawling she go sliding through the air. Sisters Of Mercy Miscellaneous Anaconda ANACONDA words by andrew eldritch music by gary marx Baby buy an Anaconda baby. Any time I try to choose a favorite Sisters song it always comes to mind. Baby buy an Anaconda baby buy a thing to wear. Beautiful - what I love about Eldritch's lyrics is, even though I try not to overthink and over analyze (hard to do) I get so much just from one simple line.Įdited to add: really, I love the entire song lyrically, and musically. I feel like I'm not explaining myself well, there's so much more but I don't know how to say it - that's why he's the songwriter and I'm not. The moment of realization, acceptance of fate, the release. The obvious literal meaning - the big bomb finally dropping, the end of everything, especially with the nuclear winter landscape of Driven Like the Snow directly following Flood II - the sexual metaphor, pretty obvious with how it's often linked to death. Could be a moment of doom - or anticipation - of excitement - of anxiety - or everything at once, for some reason it's very overwhelming to me. ![]() It's as if all the thoughts and feelings in my head come out in those songs (all of them, not really any particular era - one of the things I love about the Sisters is how different all their songs are throughout the years, I can always find something to fit a mood) lyrically and musically, everything I wish I could say or describe is in there - and yet it still doesn't really say it, just a general feeling I suppose.Īnyways - no way I can pick just a few lyrics, but the one that always sticks with me for some reason is "seconds to the drop but it feels like hours" Doesn't really seem loaded with meaning (or maybe it does) but can be taken so many ways - that feeling, those heart pounding moments just before - something. Absolutely agree with the multilayered-ness, the imagery and metaphors - though they are so cryptic most of the time they could mean everything and nothing all at the same time. As I've done for other videos, and since there was never a video for Alice, I took live footage off youtube, and synced it to the 12 inch single so I can pla. Don't get me wrong, I'm a huge JD fan as well, but nothing compares to Eldritch's lyrics to me.

With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain insideįor the wind will blow and throw your walls aside With the sunlight died and night above me Life is short and love is always over in the morning In the temple of love: Shine like thunderĪnd the devil in black dress watches over With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at handįor the wind will blow my name across this landĪnd the tears he cried will rain on walls With the fire from the fireworks up above me
