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

I hear brand new talk
Everywhere I go
They got a new word
For what we do
When the lights get low
And I hear my heart beat black and blue
Don't call it love
It don't keep time
For me and you

And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world to stop
And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world

I feel shock
When the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul
I feel shock
When the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul

When the lights get low
And the music's loud
And the latest song is hot and cold
'Til the stars go down
And my blood runs cold
And my hands just shake
Got a heart like crime and a pretty face
Ain't all it takes

And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world to stop
And I don't call it love
Waiting for the world

I feel shock
When the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul
I feel shock
When the lights get low
I got a heart like crime
Yeah, down in my soul
I feel shock
