SHE IS SUFFERING

DISCOGRAPHY: She Is Suffering
The Holy Bible
LYRICS: Nicky Wire and Richey James
MUSIC: James Dean Bradfield and Sean Moore
QUOTES: "'She' is desire. In other Bibles and Holy Books no truth is possible until you empty yourself of desire. All commitment otherwise is fake/lies/economic convenience. "Salvation is purity""
(Richey James; THB Tourbook)

"It's quite a simple song, both musically and lyrically. It's kind of like the Buddhist thing where you can only reach eternal peace by shedding every desire in your body. I think the last line, 'Nature's lukewarm pleasure', is Richey's view on sex. I can't really explain it, but that's the way he sees it."
(Nicky Wire; Melody Maker 27.8.94)
