Psychedelic Furs
A little something about Psychedelic Furs
The Psychedelic Furs formed in London in the late '70s and broke up in the early '90s producing seven studio albums and numerous collections in the duration.
Typically their music was trippy, articulate grooves punctuated with seering guitars and whirling effects or synthesizers. In front of this ethereal mix were the detached poetic musings of a scratchy-throated baritone lead singer. Keep in mind, stateside in the early '80s, a band like the Furs could be heard only on radio stations experimenting with 'new wave' programming. The Furs certainly stood out from the rest of the radio-friendly pop acts such as
Toni Basil, Soft Cell, Nena and Thompson Twins. Their sound was unique and engaging then and still is today.

Pretty in PinkCaroline laughs andIt's raining all dayShe loves to be one of the girlsShe lives in the placeIn the side of our lovesWhere nothing isEver put straightShe 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 coatsPretty in pinkIsn't shePretty in pinkIsn't sheAll of her loversAll talk of her notesAnd the flowersThat they never sentAnd wasn't she easyAnd isn't shePretty in pinkThe one who insistsHe was first in the lineIs the last toRemember her nameHe's walking aroundIn this dressThat she woreShe is goneBut the joke's the samePretty in pinkIsn't shePretty in pinkIsn't sheCaroline talks to youSoftly sometimesShe says'I love you' and'Too much'She doesn't have anythingYou want to stealWellNothing you can touchShe wavesShe buttons your shirtThe trafficIs waiting outsideShe hands you this coatShe gives you her clothesThese cars collidePretty in pinkIsn't shePretty in pinkIsn't she
