Yes. They are included.=20
Here are the lyrics for the bonus tracks on the Japanese S&S.
=20
12 through the dark
innocent smiles how they put you to shame
same televised lines - I've seen the film before
Sicilian men - they're going to save their name
leaving their brides in black shawls again
see how it's shining through the dark as the teardrops fall
and it illuminates the gloom
and we can't stop staring for a moment
some silver-screen starlet - but it's my story she's living in
in a smoke-filled room pressed up against the door
see how it's shining through the dark as the kettle boils
and it illuminates the room - entertain me -=20
eyes on this prize
hello - I'm drowning in your tide
welcome - so close to my pale skin I'm there
but one touch and it's gone
same black and white blonde -=20
you know her face but never her name
Hillbilly young boys without a tooth between them
see how it's shining through the dark -=20
spinning a dream for the wide-awake
and it illuminates the room - entertain me -
fixing your eyes on the prize
hello - I'm drowning in your tide
welcome - so close to my pale skin I'm there
stay - don't roll away now
this is my magic world
and it's pulling me under so stay
13 gone
come take me by the hand
and lead me through the night
songs spill into the air
and we'll drink to ourselves here way up high
town lights shining
this is the place for me now
blurred - loving every word
this hill yourself and I
days so long
when you're young
two underneath a tree
my hands are turning blue
stars shiver in the night
I pass a cigarette back to you
town lights shining
this is the place for me now
and I can't stop smiling
high on a hill looking down
days so long
when you're young
then they're gone
days so long
when you're young
then they're gone
if you ask me now
my worst fear
is it that I know
this time next year
you'll be gone
and I'll still be here
14 nothing sweet
in a crowd naked with no words to explain
in a car braking glass cracks
as I freeze the frame
*keep falling away
while I watch myself and pray
keep falling from view
what a mind puts a body through
and down on the ground onlookers stare
in a pool sinking water fills my mouth
sole victim of your own terror
cold flesh as the air runs out
* repeat
=20
Typed in a hurry. Please forgive me if there are mistakes. Thanks!
Tomoko : )

Date: Thu, 27 Nov 1997 18:57:28 -0000
Here's my take on the Life Goes On lyrics, I've done them from what I=
remember so sorry if it's all wrong. The last two lines are my faves, I=
think it's one of the best Sundays songs lyrically ever. Can't make head=
nor tail of Through The Dark though. What's it all about? I'll leave that=
one to someone else!!!
LIFE GOES ON
Build me up don't get me down
Weather the storm,=20
Well, life goes on
Feelings ebb and flow by hour
You're up in the clouds, oh
And then you sink like a stone
So do you fill yourself with pills
Oh, to deaden your ills
Or are you only one love short of happiness
And in a picture on the wall
No glimmer of yourself at all
You've let yourself fall away
Build me up, don't mop my brow
Weather the storm, oh
Because life goes on
Missed my only hope right now
Oh, it's all I can do
Oh, not to sink like a stone
So do you fill yourself with pills
Oh, to deaden your ills
Or are you only one love short of happiness
And in a picture on the wall
No glimmer of yourself at all
You've left yourself far away
Oh, so do you fill yourself with pills
To cure you of your ills
Or are you only one love short of the happy days to come
And in a picture on the wall
Can't see your face at all
So untie yourself
Because that's all you've got to do
And I can grab those wings
And I can take up flying
Won't be no crying
Up in the air, looking back down
And let me tell you if I talk about gloom
I don't get out of feeling down
It strips you of yourself
And splits you from the self that you know
Mark

Subject: Minneapolis Review
For some odd reason I haven't heard a peep about the Minneapolis show
last night, so I'll contribute my experience.
This was the second Sunday's show I've seen - I saw them in DC on the
Blind tour ... so I had some idea of what to expect: perfection.
They didn't disappoint.=20
Just like everyone has said, their style is flawless but they don't
leave anything to chance. Not a whit of improv was heard, and we were
listening pretty damn close.
After the show, I finagled my way into the VIP lounge and got to spend
some quality time with the cute couple. David seemed genuinely
interested when I mentioned the e-mail list. That led easily into a
discussion about his technical problems. He didn't want to get very
in-depth on the problem, but he reiterated his excitement that nothing
blew out tonight.
As some of you have said, David is a very engaging conversationalist. I
overcame my overwhelming jealousy and developed a real sense of respect
for him. I see what Harriet sees in him.
Both David and Harriet were overwhelmingly outgoing. After such an
amazing show, they had quite a bit of emotion to spare.=20
Harriet received more attention, but of course she is perfect. So there
you are.
They gave me a promo CD and signed it "Jason, that's your name. We're
Harriet and David." They are so damn cool.
After a half-hour, I had to sneak out. But I waited by their tour bus
until they left. Soon later, they made their way to their getaway bus,
and my friends and I mobbed them with more questions. Amazingly enough,
their excitement and thoughtfulness continued, even at 1:30 AM.
Other random notes (if that wasn't random enough)
o Billie stays at the Hotel with the Nanny. She knows she's "on tour," but=
=20
she doesn't know what that means. And when Harriet mentioned that her face
was red, Billie said she dyed it. What do you expect for their kid?
o The band and roadies travel in the band. But apparently David and Harriet
don't. I didn't pry.
o They did three encores, which sounds pretty uncommon. Then again, so was=
=20
the audience response. We didn't have any hecklers, just people who were=
=20
very excited to see the Sundays.
o They may extend their tour - they just didn't know how successful the=
first
leg would be. Stay tuned for that...
o They don't have any Thanksgiving plans; Harriet: "We're British; we don't=
=20
have much to be thankful for"=20
o The fact that they were so interested in the e-mail list would suggest=
they
aren't on it, but perhaps that's=20just their wily plan.
That's about all I can remember. They are just such amazing people. I'll
try and scan in the CD cover they signed. It's divine...

Subject: Chicago show
Ted asked about the set list for a recent show. Well I just got back
from the Chicago show (I mean just). Great Show!! Here's what they
played (not in the order they played them):
here's where the story ends
can't be sure
hideous towns
i kicked a boy
my finest hour
joy
goodbye (well done...one of my favorites anyway)
love (not sure if they played this one)
what do you think?
medicine
summertime (overdubbed second harriet?)
homeward (harriet and david only, david with acoustic guitar)
she (overdubbed finger snapping type percussion? backup vocals at end?)
when i'm thinking about you (harriet and david only, david with acoustic
guitar)
cry
another flavour (rocked in concert!)
monochrome
and a song I didn't recognize (again, harriet and david only)
Anybody else at the Chicago show wanna expand the commentary or revise
my set list, be my guest! Also, I've been getting some good response
for the live chat. Looks like it's on, I'll set a date soon. Visit

Subject: Information
I got back from the library and got some interesting quotes from
Melody Maker and New Musical Express:
Some insight on Harriet's Dad who BTW is an archetect.
>From New Musical Express, September 19, 1992 page 18:
HARRIET'S DAD, David Laurence Wheeler, played her Bob Dylan's=20
'Corrina, Corrina' from 'Freewheelin' at the age of ten.
Perhaps this is important. He used to say "Whay draw a line with
a ruler when you can draw it by hand?" Perhaps this is important
too. And when he farted, Harriet's dad would, without fail, say
"I'll kill that cat!"
For those who wondered about their money situation and previous band
experience.
>From Melody Maker, October 11, 1997, page 20:
3)They confess to having made "Shitloads of wedge" but have spent it in=20
the course of not making any for the past five years!
4)Both were once in Joy Division-worshipping bands. Dave's was called The
Odd. Harriet was in a school band called...Aerial Coffin!
On that last point, this adds to what we know of Harriet's previous singing
experience so far which includes:
Jim Jiminee - Guinness Encyclopedia of Popular Music page 2416 of vol 3 1992
band where she sang B-52 covers with older sister at mental homes - Melody=

Subject: sundays MP3 songs
Hello everyone. I just got a few e-mails about the song "All I Ever
Wanted" I put up on my webpage, so I thought I'd re-post what I have and
what I'm going to have on there for you all to download and enjoy....
First of all I'm using this terrible thing called geocities webpages
because my server doesn't provide web page services. so I only have 2
megs of space for the songs minus the amount my page takes up (which is
an area I can practice HTML for the web page of my volleyball team for
the University of Windsor) Since there seems to be a few people that
want these songs that I have I think I'll make a separate page for you
to get them.... please email me and say something like thanks or
whatever so that I know I'm not doing this in vain! :)
The address will be:=20
http://www.geocities.com/Colosseum/Stadium/8955/sundays.html
These are the songs I have that aren't on any album that I know:
All I Ever Wanted -- 709KB
Turkish -- 416KB
Noise -- 1583KB
"All I ever wanted" is up there right now if any of you want to grab it
now! I'm going to take the link off of the page it's on now and move it
to the new sundays page...
I hope you find it helpful! :)
