We Are The Same, Susanne (song)
... often misspelled as We Are The Same Suzanne ...
however, The Sisters' very own lyrics page mentions it under the title given above.
We Are The Same, Susanne was written in 1997, but the song has not been released
on record so far. Mike Varjak provided the music. It has, however, not been revealed,
who wrote the lyrics. To all likeliness, Andrew Eldritch.
Some time ago, the live video here on the right side was available for download from
The Sisters homepage under Concert Video Clips. There one might nowadays
still find an for a listen... .
For other official vidoes by The Sisters of Mercy see 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

Analysis
Some basic information has been compiled at 1959 and all that ..., informing that
... when the lyrics were available on the official site, they were (initially) accompanied by the following comment:
Note: the vocal switches between English and German pronunciations of the name Suzanne,
which is a deft - and mellifluous - twist in a song about "sameness". Draw your own conclusions.
