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

You have to have a party
When you're in a state like this
You can really move it all
You have to vote and change
You have to get right out of it
Like out of all this mess
You'll believe in anything
If you believe in all this but

CHORUS

Don't cry, dont do anything
No lies, back in the government
No tears, party time is hear again
President Gas is up for president
Line-up, put your kisses down
Say yeah, say yes again
Stand up, there's a head count
President Gas on everything but roller skates
It's sick, the price of medicine
Stand up, we'll put you on your feet again
Open up your eyes just to check
That you're asleep again
President Gas is president gas again

He comes in from the left sometimes
He come in from the right
It's sp heavily advertised
That he wants you and I
It's a real cowboy set
Electric company
Every day is happy days
It's hell without the sin, but

CHORUS
