sisters of mercy EP

[mr.mincemeat]

In an alarming departure from my usual practise of finding out about new
stuff after it is old and boring to everyone else, I have purchased a 1983
EP by the Sisters of Mercy, containing 3 great songs, side one is
"temple of love (long version)" which is stunning, doomed, ominous
music with lyrics for the modern walking dead (what I remember is
"with a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain we run for cover in
the temple of love". This is not a love song.

Side two has "heartland", which I first played while watching a tape of
the vaporizing people scenes in "the day after", singularly appropriate
to this song about brain death in middle america; I think we still ARE
in kansas, toto....

Also side two is a version of "gimme shelter" which is not a striking as the
other two songs but real swell anyway; where the stones sang 'love is just
a kiss away' the sisters say 'war is just a ..' in fact all the '*** is just
a *** away' verses end up with war. I just love doom and gloom.

I am curious about some charming things I have heard; does anyone know
where/what format/what label to find

The Bobs 'psycho killer'
Richard Jensen(?) 'no cannibals on this culdesac'
Suicidal Tendencies 'institutionalized'

There is a popular song currently by 'nena' called '99 luftballons'
which I think I heard a slower, melodic english version of once, which I
am trying to locate for a friend; am I hallucinating?

All I wanted was a pepsi,
