The Psychedelic Furs- British Post Punk New Wave Stars
As was often the case with 80s Brit bands, the US version of the album was re-sequenced, but failed to have a strong commercial impact.
Their 1984 album "Mirror Moves" produced several UK hits and made the band a staple of college and alternative radio stations.
The band split up in the early 1990s, with original members moving on to other projects, but reformed in 2000 for a reunion tour and live album.

The Psychedelic Furs - Love my Way
80's Classic Psychedelic Furs Great Song There's an army On the dance floor It's a fashion 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 There's 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 So 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

Richard Butler, lead singer of The Psychedleic furs, has been quoted as saying this song, and the entire Midnight to Midnight album, was a mistake, an attempt to cash in on the band's growing popularity.

- I loved this group when they came out. I loved 80's music for the simple reason there was so much variety and experimentation with music.
Great lens.
