You know, I find that the lyrics to the Sisters of Mercy's "Black Planet" and Effiel 65's "Blue" really aren't all that different.

I should make you black and blue for posting such rubbish! Sheesh! What shall I do with my little Jose??

Im not kidding! If you take blue as in blue monday, or some other feeling blue idea, black planet black world and I have a girlfriend and she is so blue, really are fairly similar.

I suppose the large difference is the blue song points out that the subject sees the world as blue, while SoM simply declare it is black. Perhaps the blue song is about Aldrich and his odd perspective?

Don't forget my favorite 'painted black'...the remake by Mesphisto Waltz...orginal Rolling stones (I think)

Dood I love both the original and the cover. It's funny too, for the most part I don't like the Stones but "Painted Black" is fucking amazing.

So the guides is this:
Black planet - it is
Blue - what you see it as
Painted black - what you want to see it as

RED AND BLACK HA! Mephisto Waltz

Painted Black Lyrics
I see a red door and I want it painted black.
No colors any more I want them to turn black

I see the gods walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until the darkness goes

I see a line of cars they've been painted black
With crosses and my love never to come back

Most people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a stillborn baby they're all dead anyway

Maybe then I'll fade away and you can face the facts
It's not easy, really, when your whole world is black
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and its pattern paint is black
No more will my green sea turn a deeper blue
I could not forsee this thing happening to you

Most people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a stillborn baby they're all dead anyway

I want it painted, painted, painted black
I want it painted, painted, painted black
Black as night, black as white, black, black, black
Painted, painted, painted black, black, black
Black, black, black...
black, black, black...

It took me a sec to get that, but I let out a little giggle when I did:)
