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.
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

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.
