The Psychedelic Furs

thumb|Psychedelic Furs (2008) The Psychedelic Furs are an English rock band founded in London in February 1977. Led by singer Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs were one of the many acts spawned from the British post-punk scene. Their music went through several phases, from an initially austere art rock sound, to later touching on new wave and hard rock. Song lyrics Talk Talk Talk (1981) All songs written by Richard Butler, John Ashton, Roger Morris, Tim Butler, Duncan Kilburn and Vince Ely. Give me all your paper maSo I can get a train.They just wanna suck you inTo being one of them.Tell her that I'm not in here,Tell her I'm a freak.Tell her that I fall aboutEvery time I speak. "Dumb Waiters" She lives in the placeIn the side of our livesWhere nothing isEver put straight.She turns herself roundAnd she smiles and she says'This is it''That's the end of the joke'And loses herselfIn her dreaming and sleepAnd her lovers walkThrough in their coats.Pretty in pink,Isn't she?Pretty in pink,Isn't she? "Pretty in Pink" Listen, to the weathermenThey're not saying anythingThey're tripping flags for youThis crazy face for youYou don't have a point of viewYou don't have to say you do No Tears I hope you get your invitationIt is here for youListen to the conversationPlaying pretty tunesSorry i can't wait for youI couldn't stand to stay...They're making up thingsThat we've all heard beforeLike romance and engage and divorceYou have to be crazy to stay in this placeYou just have to laugh at it all She is Mine Forever Now (1982) All songs written by Richard Butler, John Ashton, Tim Butler and Vince Ely. It's sick the price of medicineStand up, we'll put you on your feet againOpen up your eyes just to check that you're asleep againPresident gas is president gas again President Gas There's an army on the dance floorIt's a fashion with a gun, my loveIn a room without a doorA kiss is not enough in.Love my way, it's a new road,I follow where my mind goes. "Love My Way" So swallow all your tears, my loveAnd put on your new face.You can never win or loseIf you don't run the race. "Love My Way" Hamburger MaryShe's got a gunNothing goes on all the timeAnd she thinks it's fun Run and Run Pass your time awayIts' just another dayAnd everything you sayWas said yesterdayWon't you come with meBe who you want to beYou'll get no sympathyFor staying home Yes I Do Mirror Moves (album) (1984) All lyrics written by Richard Butler and Tim Butler, except as noted. A race is on I'm on your sideAnd hearing you my engines dieI'm in a mood for you.For Running awayStars come down in youAnd love, you can't give it awayInside you the time movesAnd she don't fade The ghost in youShe don't fadeInside you the time movesAnd she don't fade "The Ghost in You" There's a way to turn it offIt gets so hard at timesTo take it seriousIt really gets to be a drag When all we really need is loveHere come cowboysHere to save us all. "Here Come Cowboys" There's a hole in the skyWhere the sun don't shineAnd a clock on the wallAnd it counts my timeAnd heavenIs the whole of the heartAnd heaven don't tear you apart "Heaven And a hero is always aloneAt the end of the dayIt's a price that you payWith your pieces of loveAll your pieces of loveAnd it's my time to turn you aroundAnd it's my time to hold out a handAnd it's my time to turn on a light for you "My Time", You hurt for a changeAnd they ease youAnd cool youAnd love you so strangeAnd you talk like a stranger Like a Stranger They tore up our kisses and ranOn tomorrow's pagesAnd the lions have eaten the lamb On tomorrow's pagesThere's a day of your life in your handful of people you don't understand Highwire Days written written by John Ashton and Richard Butler Midnight to Midnight (1987) All tracks composed and arranged by Richard Butler, John Ashton and Tim Butler. And it feels like love,But it don't mean a lot.And it feels like love,And it's all that we've got.There's a Heartbreak Beat playing all night longDown on my street.And it feels like love, got the radio on,And it's all that we need. "Heartbreak Beat" Book of Days (1989) All lyrics written by Richard Butler. ShineI heard her sing....The world's at my feetAnd it turns when i speakAnd it shines...Shine on all that is "Shine" Days that never comeTo shine a light on the damage doneSomedays without a sunI feel the dark even closer nowI wear it, a winter coatI'm far away but not far enoughWhat's true is tornAnd shouted down "Shine" The air here tastes like poisonThe traffic moves on broken roads...She's 14 and she's fadingThere's a wasted year forEvery train that passesShe is leaving somedaySomeday never comes This road is poison Book of Days All of this I now regretNot a name that I might placeNot at my paradeFramed the faces I applaudAll the same sad eyesWrite the world between the lines "Torch" This day is not my lifeThe passing time is not my lifeThe thorn that's in my sideIs all these scenes that we regretThe wasted words we can't forget "House" Shame, will shake this houseYour dreams are not my lifeThese broken words are not my lifeYour lies are none of my invention "House" World Outside (1991) Here in my head I hear you sayHere in my head I hear you prayTime is what it's madeMade by others i regretRemember me i hear it saidOut of faces i forgetHope you get up off your feetShake the dust out of your shoes In my head And with her step I move my feet.And with her hand I feel my skin.And with her need I find I'm saved.And with her dreams I'm laid.Until she comes again.The sun goes out and night comes in.The time goes 'round and day grows dim.Until she comes again. Until She Comes From where I stand, I've got a viewOut of all the miles of youWhere I waitI know what's trueAll about you All about you External links Category:English bands Category:Post-punk Category:Alternative rock bands Category:New wave music
