The Sisters of Mercy - We Are The Same, Susanne

... often misspelled as We Are The Same Suzanne ...

however, The Sisters' very own lyrics page mentions it under the title given above.


The music was written by Mike Varjak. It has not been revealed, so far, who wrote the lyrics.
To all likeliness, it was Andrew Eldritch. The song is yet unreleased.

Some time ago a live video was available on The Sisters of Mercy's official site under Concert Video Clips
where you might still find an MP3-version for download (please scroll), see also Music Videos.

Lyrics

counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I'm lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne

counting the days in the haze around you
Susanne let the ether fall
out of phase, I am all around you
Susanne on the wall

no pain, summer rain
I'm lost for stupid again
we are the same
give it a name Susanne
