After my first go on an electric cannabis pipe, which is, in essence, an exhaust pipe that exhudes cannabis smoke,
I had a bit of a lie-down.

Enjoying the Sisters Of Mercy's Floodland album, I was deeply impressed with their satirical comments on Christianity: "By the river there's a sheep that will carry you down the river, down stream ... "

Of course! Christ - the lamb of god - is but a sheep - an unquestioning, idiot follower of the god myth! And Christianity will "sell you down the river"!

Quite, quite brilliant - witty, insightful, and wonderfully expressed! No wonder Andrew Eldritch is hailed so highly!

I must tell people this! The next day I was full of excitement about my discovery, and elected to tell everyone about it.

It's "Ship".

It's fucking "Ship", and I am a twat.

But wait.
What if it isn't ship?

What if they really are talking about sheep, but it's a coded reference to hanging yourself?

We need to think about these things, no blindly follow what others say, like ships.

I don't think I'd know what he was on about for most of his songs
unless I hadn't read people blithering about it online.

Yes - listening to goths discussing SoM lyrics is right up there with having one's fingers peeled.

I used to listen to goth girls blithering about cocteau twins lyrics
But only because I wanted to shag them

I'm really not sure how I could carry on if it wathn't for Morrithey"

Many songs would be improved
by changing 'ship' to 'sheep'.

Nick Cave:

Come sail your sheep around me
and burn your bridges down.
