The Sisters of Mercy are a Post-Punk and Goth Rock band fronted by the somewhat arrogant Andrew Eldritch, who is now the only original member left in the band.
While Eldritch often bitches about how the band is not "Goth Rock", it is considered by almost all who are educated on the subject to be one of the greatest first generation Goth Rock bands.
They made two good albums: First And Last And Always and Floodland. Then, most likely in an attempt to sever all connections with the "goth" label, Eldritch made the hard-rock piece of crap that is Vision Thing (Ribbons being the only decent song).
Their two compilation albums, Some Girls Wander By Mistake and A Slight Case of Overbombing (their Greatest Hits), are both fun listens.
The band is also known for their somewhat cryptic lyrics.
Their sound is similar to that of Fields of the Nephilim, Big Electric Cat, Red Lorry Yellow Lorry, and even some Joy Division songs.
The other members of the band created the bands Ghost Dance and The Mission (known in the USA as The Mission UK), both of which were decent bands.
The most popular Sisters of Mercy song is Lucretia My Reflection.

1. euthanasia: the act of killing someone painlessly (especially someone suffering from an incurable illness)
2. Killing by one person of another who has an incurable illness or injury in its most painful stages.

My mom gave my grandpa a whole lot of pills and said it was ok because god doesn't punish mercy killing.

Mercy sex is sex, coital or oral, given a guy for comfort reasons rather than because of desire or love.

Going on a date with somebody because you feel sorry for them. Often a male on the rebound or a female one considered 'ugly'.

Donna saw how upset James was after Rachel dumped him, they ended up dating for a short while.
"Yeah. I felt sorry for her, and I didn't want to upset her. So I took her on a mercy date."
