city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
The Psychedelic Furs
The Psychedelic Furs are an English rock band founded in London in February 1977. Led by lead vocalist Richard Butler and his brother Tim Butler on bass guitar, the Psychedelic Furs are 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.
The band had several hits in their early career. In 1986, filmmaker John Hughes used their song "Pretty in Pink" for his film of the same name. They went on hiatus after they finished touring in 1992, but resumed in 2000 and continue to perform live. The band released Made of Rain, their first studio album in nearly three decades, on 31 July 2020.
listen:
The Main Mix
Plus the that friggin bassline. Try just listening to the bassline.
Plus the ability of the song to transform me to some post-modern abstract cosmic utopia. fact.
Bill has it in a folder labeled "ekin." You figure it out.
Turning it up ...
I remember listening to this album in high school - that bass line. that flanger guitar. Perfect pop song.
Not the Furs' best, but still a great band. I saw them live at the Hammersmith Odeon in London in June 1981. I might have been the only person in the audience not dressed in new wave black.
hmmmmm...one of their best. Strong guitar, hook, chorus, etc.
Adam and the ants ?
Live your life, like whatever music you want to. Don't knuckle under to peer pressure, Smoove_D.
great song from a great album...
