Biography

UK post-punk band formed in 1977, London, by brothers [a=Tim Butler] and [a=Richard Butler]. The band released eight studio albums to date and have been produced by a variety of producers, such as [a=Steve Lillywhite], [a=Todd Rundgren], [a=Keith Forsey], [a=Chris Kimsey], [a=David M. Allen] and [a=Stephen Street]. Their 1981 song "Pretty In Pink" was picked by director [a=John Hughes (17)] as the title of his 1986 teen movie and the re-made version of the song became their biggest hit until then. Other highlights of their catalogue are "Love My Way", "Sister Europe" and their biggest US hit "Heartbreak Beat". In 1991 they went on hiatus while [a=Richard Butler] and [a=Tim Butler] launched a new group, [a=Love Spit Love] that lasted for two albums (1991 & 1997). In 1996, singer [a=Richard Butler] released his self-titled solo album. The Furs reformed in 2000 for the release of a live album and, since then, the band continue to tour. They released a new studio album in 2020, the first since 1991.

LYRICS

Another Christ is on the cross
The nails are words
The nails are lies
To make it crawl
And make it scream
And make it real
And make it bleed
And make it bleed
And make it bleed
And make it dream

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ

This you who lie and scream
You fall to dust
You fall to dust
In walls of words
Your words are blind
You speak
And you are dumb and blind
The word that is your god
Is you who fall so low and fall so far

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ

Fly to the moon, dear
Sew it on a stool
Tie on the carpet
All the cowboys fall

See the cowboys fat and reeling
Dancing underneath the ceiling
Leave the bar
The theatre's closing
Make a wall of your religion

Imitation of Christ
Imitation of Christ

Mary, Mary
Mother, mother
You and me and
God the father
Jesus is a woman too
He looks like all of me and you
Your money talks and
All your friends
Will laugh at her pathetic tits

Imitation of Christ
