  • I can't be saved from my ways...until she comes...I love the sound of that.

  • It was 1993 I was working on a temporary wildlife biology project in the midwest, still in college only about 21. I was staying with a married couple in their 30's. Mary was so hot and alluring and sexy. Tommy gave me this CD he got it somehow and didn't like it. My infatuation with Mary was deeply placed in my subconscious such that I was talking with Sue who was in her 50's and I fell asleep on the couch into a talking dream state where I talked about what I wanted to do with and to Mary.

  • 80ssss♥

  • Think this track could've been used in a film or something, it's one of my favorites by them, I tend to think of this album as a more subdued version of their previous one.

  • this is terrible compared to their first uh.. 5 albums?

  • Perfect song.

  • best

  • bets of their numerous great songs

  • one of my favs....i missed them when they were here in San Diego not too long ago

  • So many great furs songs. One of my favs~

  • Psy Furs have the last word in the post-punk-pop genre.

    Its everything U2, Echo and The Bunnymen, Depeche Mode, The Fixx, et al sought to accomplish.

    Personally, I thought they'd already achieved that in "The Ghost in You."

  • @spunkets

    True b/ Depeche Mode isnt and was never post punk. Early stuff was great synth pop...but it became cheesy.

    Furs achieved it early on (retrospect) with original version of PRETTY IN PINK. Punk grit & pure pop.

    Only comparable band is Bunnymen. Amazing music, but always found Ian McCullouch too pretentious/ cool and far away as a front man. Richard is charismatic, & wins any day over him. But they had different approaches. Furs were more pop oriented

  • @spunkets Many of them somehow began to develop a more mainstream sound by the mid-80s, in hindsight this would be temporary but we didn't know it then, for a long long time other than DM and U2 the rest have virtually stayed underground where they began.

  • Saw these guys at the Ridgefield Playhouse in Connecticut a few weeks ago. I was screaming to have them do this tune - bummer. Fantastic show though. They also missed doing Ghost in You for an encore but I would pay to see them again. His voice is still spot on.

  • @boyofsteele1 I was doing the exact thing here in Maryland when they played their show and I got blown off as well. Good show though agreed.

  • Im waiting for you Gabriela.. I love you !!! <3

  • Fantastic twenty year old english classic! I remember being truly moved instantly when I heard it back then in 1991!

  • One of my all-time favourite songs, I fell in love with its beautiful melody the first time I heard it on MTV Europe in the spring of 1991 and now, decades later, the magic is still there

    Thank you Psychedelic Furs!

  • I loved this album World Outside was very underrated, my favorite furs album is their most hated and disliked the somber Book Of Days.. Ruchard Butler truly captures sadness world weary and wasted time on that album

  • What does Richard say in between verse?? "I can be saved through her ways"??

  • @MOSS722 Oh found it! Sorry!

  • @MOSS722 "I can't be safe/saved from my ways"

  • @ShoegazeNukeDeployed Much much much much appreciated. Really, mate!

  • @MOSS722 no problem mate ^^

  • I find it strange why they used the single version of this song instead of the album version, I know there's at least 3 versions of this song, there's the album version, this version is called the single version, there's also an extended version as well with a longer outro

  • @ShoegazeNukeDeployed What I read is that the album version was almost the same as the demo they first made. Not sure about the other versions you talk about...

  • I'll try and find the version with the longer outro

  • Respond to this video...  if you want I could email you the extended outro version, its 4:29 in length

    basically the ending has a bit of strings in it and sounds slightly different

  • @ShoegazeNukeDeployed Hey!!! I'd really love to as I haven't found it anywhere. Send me a message and will give you me emaiul!!

  • They have theirs... we have ours. I like ours.

  • ♥!

  • bellissima!

  • "I'm sorry, the eighties were simply BAD-ASS!!!

    God I miss this stuff badly.

  • Wow!

    I never realized it before, but Richard Butler looks and sounds like David Bowie, in a good way, "right on!

  • @Aglassact77 mmmhhh and he moves and look a lil bit as Ian mc Culloch ...Echo and the Bunnymen and the Psychedelic Furs were formed the same year ...1978...

  • It's "I can't be saved from my ways"

    Is there no other voice as unique as the voice of Richard Butler? Love this guy.

  • What are the lyrics to that background counter melody? "I can't be saved from my brain..."?

  • With this album i get the status of "iluminated"

  • Such an underrated album.

  • Comment removed

  • saw Furs in 1991 in euphoria and fog...never been the same again.

  • @cjd, yea whats up with that, btw who is lady gaga?!

  • the psychedelic furs songs are so beautiful and unique (: .....2 bad they don't music like this now and days :/

  • SOO good, nothing better than rediscovering a song you haven't heard in 20 years :) :) :) :) :) :) :)

  • best song ever

  • This gorgeous song was played on my wedding video. Still sounds great after all these years....

  • this is the radio version, the lp version sounded much better

  • I am not a singer or a song writer so I have not idea what it takes to write a song like this but all I know is that in today's music you cannot find lyrics and melodys like this anymore. When I hear today's music I feel very lucky to had the opportunity to enjoy bands like The Furs, Cure, Depeche Mode, Sundays, Joy Division, The Smiths and many others.

  • A criminally under-appreciated track - beautifully haunting.

  • This song gives me eargasms!!  :P

  • I was so obsessed with this song when it came out,doesn't seem like long ago.

  • Best Furs song in my opinion

  • Better music, doesn't always mean that more people buy it! This song was released in 1991 or so, I'm sure there were plenty of really lame but catchy songs back then that charted higher. Always been like that, always will be............

  • well im only 16 and im in love with this stuff:):)

  • This is a classic song. you can not compare with lady gaga music!!!!.

  • The new of 2day dont understand the greatness & quality of music of the 80's & 90's. Music has devalued, it has gone cheap & meaningless like many things that get ruined through the years. Now is about sex, drugs & just sell whatever comes out as long as it has bootie shaking & cash falling from the sky & bling. Im so happy that I had the privilege of being a kid in the 80's & 90's so I could relish with songs like this 1 that so beautiful.

  • @Caprifemme I feel the same way 100%. What is sad is I did not cherish these times as much as I should of. Never thought music would go down hill like it did.

  • This was their best song ever from the best album to date.

  • I got to see them 2 nights in a row in Portland, OR. Both shows were amazing. The Furs or so underrated I don't even know where the fuck to begin.

  • isnt it amazing how an ubelievably great song like this has only 130,000 views compared with lady gag gag with over 20 million?

  • @cjd1958 it is sad.

  • I agree, this song blows the Ga Ga BS away!

  • @cjd1958 mostly of the men are completely idiot...wake up!!!

  • @cjd1958 i agree

  • @cjd1958 Well i see what you mean but keep in mind that we grew up listening to this kind music and having sex symbols like Samantha Fox while nowadays teenagers are listening to whatever the radio stations give them and having sex symbols like Lindsay Lohan and Justin Bieber. I think we were lucky we lived the 80s and 90s but that s just my personal opinion.

  • WTF nobody has uploaded "World Outside" ? 4 shame! Get 2 it 'Vevo' =)

  • @Deathrape2001 I was just about to look for World Outside..nobody's uploaded it...grr...get 2 it Vevo, great song. (echoing DR2K1's comment)

  • just please tell me how did we go from this music to the mediocre one of 2 day?!! please some 1 tell me... how can u compare the melody, the lyrics, the artistry of this song 2 the vulgar and decadent 1s from nowadays... i need the 80's n 90's back, BADLY!!!!!!!!!!! This song is impeccable...

  • This song is off the hook.

  • J A .....your life is complicated as is mine. " With your hands, I feel my skin...with your needs, I find I'm safe.....until you come again!".......and with your dreams...... I'm laid!!

    Your friendship is so much more than physical....into a world most can never understand.....subspace, is so much more than just life.

    I hope you feel the music deep in your soul as I do, you have opened my world and my life is better for your coming through my door.

    Until she comes...

  • wrap yourself in the FURS

  • AMAZING, MAGICAL: THANK U 80'S N EARLY 90'S FOR SUPERB BANDS N MUSIC...

  • It's actually from the 90's.

  • yeah, 1991.

  • this what im talking about!!!: 80's awesome songs n singers... BRING THE 80'S BACK PLEASE!!!! WE NEED REAL MUSIC BACK, DESPERATELY!!!

  • @Caprifemme

    this sounds outstanding. don't remember hearing this in 1991. radio was polluted with hip hop back then and still is.

    great music that should have been heard by many.

  • @The096757 there was good Hip Hop back then.Just listen to it.Do you know that most bands enjoy music from other genres?That is the kind of open mindedness and hence,well trained ear,that makes them great musicians to make the music we (you) like in the first place.

  • So many good furs songs...one of my favs~

  • Great song! I forgot about this song for years. Thanks for posting.

  • Richard: You're fucking SEXTATIONAL!!!
