| This song is apparently about the Bar Phono club in Leeds, formerly Le Phonographique. It's a famous "goth" venue, so it shouldn't come as a surprise that Eldritch would deride it. ;) http://www.barphono.com/ | |

| "Through the cables and the underground now" Underground tube is in underground. Of course. "The faceless breathless calls" Anouncements over the PA. "And the body electric flashes on the bathroom wall" Someone wrote that the walls in many London tube stations are tiled like in bathrooms. "Acid on the floor so she walk on the ceiling" I have heard that Sisters used some drugs so maybe they were tripping in tube when inspiration to this song was gained. | |
