Psychedelic Furs?

:shrug:

[Texasgal]

1. " pretty in pink"

Isn't she?

[redqueen]

3. Love that song...

the guy's voice does it for me.

[swag]

2. Oh the first two records were great, weren't they?

[redqueen]

4. Yeah they were...

dunno what happened after that.

[swag]

5. A lot of good bands went to shit right around 1983 -

The Stranglers
Siouxsie and the Banshees
Killing Joke
PiL

[redqueen]

Can we blame Reagan?

:P

[swag]

12. Thatcher was in on it too, don't forget.

[redqueen]

14. Taught 'im everything he knew

They were selling naming rights for $$$ before anyone here ever thought of it.

[Texasgal]

6. Yeah... they really

screwed the pooch after that... wonder if they are still around?

[DBoon]

8. Yes, they are touring again

likely the '80s revival thing, as aging new-wave types hit their 40s.

[Texasgal]

9. No shit?

Hmmm... that would actually be pretty cool!

[DBoon]

15. What I'd do

is google "psychedelic furs" and "tour dates"

Maybe add the name of your city, or 2005 to make sure you get this year's schedule (and not say the 1983 tour schedule)

7. love my way

There’s an army on the dance floor
It’s a fasion with a gun, my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

They’d put us on a railroad
They’d dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way

There’s emptiness behind their eyes
And dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all and
Take us all apart, but not in

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

Swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don’t run the race

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

Love my way
It’s a new road
I follow
Where my mind goes

10. Love'em! -nt

13. The ghost in you!

A man in my shoes runs a light
and all the papers lied tonight
but falling over you
is the news of the day
Angels fall like rain
And love - is all of heaven away
(CHORUS)
Inside you the times moves
and she don't fade
The ghost in you
She don't fade
Inside you the time moves
and she don't fade
A race is on
I'm on your side
And here in you
my engines die
I'm in a mood for you
Or running away
Stars come down in you
and love - you can't give it away
(CHORUS)
Don't you go
it makes no sense
when all your talk
and supermen
just take away the time
and get in the way
Ain't it just like rain
And love - is only heaven away
(CHORUS)

[Swede]

17. Yeah,that's a great tune.

PF's are one of my favorites.

[RetroLounge]

16. I saw them in the early 80's, really great in concert!

Pretty in Pink

Caroline laughs and
It's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our loves
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
'This is it'
'That's the end of the joke'
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she

All of her lovers
All talk of her notes
And the flowers
That they never sent
And wasn't she easy
And isn't she
Pretty in pink
The one who insists
He was first in the line
Is the last to
Remember her name
He's walking around
In this dress
That she wore
She is gone
But the joke's the same

Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she

Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes
She says
'I love you' and
'Too much'
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well
Nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic
Is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide

Pretty in pink
Isn't she
Pretty in pink
Isn't she

18. As long as we're posting lyrics, these are my fave Fur lyrics

FALL

you will have a dress of white
you will have a ring of gold
you will have a paper snow
we'll fall
see the wall, the wall is black
we will have a heart attack
we will be alone and we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall

fall in love like sailors do
tell your lover you'll be true
sail upon the stupid sea
we'll fall
you will have a sheet of red
paint the trees, the trees are dead
we will be alone and we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall
we'll fall

marry me and be my wife
you can have me all your life
our love will never end
parties for our stupid friends
are the children really home?
we will lie upon the lawn
needles on the beach at goa
we will have another flower
we will be a part of structure
you will have a face of structure
we will make ourselves a scene
we will live our stupid dream
i am you and you are me
tie me down i will be free
our love will have no end
flowers for our stupid friends
marry me and be my wife
you can have me all your life
our love will never end
parties for our stupid friends
are the children really home?
we will lie upon the lawn
needles on the beach at goa
we will have another flower
we will be a part of structure
you will have a face of structure
we will make ourselves a scene
we will live our stupid dream
i am you and you are me
tie me down i will be free
our love will have no end

19. And my second fave Furs lyrics

DUMB WAITERS
give me all your paper ma
gimme all your jazz
give me something that i need
something i can have
mrs. londons coming round
she's coming with her son
gimme all your paper ah
so i can get a gun

she has got it in for me
yeah i mean it honestly
she's so mean

give me all your paper ma
so i can buy 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 about every time i speak

she has got in for me
yeah i mean it honestly
i just scream

give me all your paper ma
so i can buy a train
i don't know how i got in here
it's making me insane
have another cigarette
and have another cigarette
in a room where lovers go
talking on the telephone

they have go it in for me
yeah i mean it honestly
they all dream
