Gave it a 7 because it rhymes with "heaven". Like able enough, and evocative of a certain era.

 Your outrage is misplaced - I just dislike the genre.   Except for musical production I couldn't care less how they use their orifices.  For all I know these guys follow the common convention, and if not I feel no need to intervene.

Whenever I see that cover photo the way that shadows fall, it's looks like the guitarist is in a superhero costume.

Back in the 80s your band had to play at least one Furs tune or you just weren't cool - reflected coolness.

Saw them back in their day and during the encore, Mr. Butler tried out some new songs, had to read the lyrics from a sheet. But that's not the story. A couple people jumped up on stage to dance with the band and as the bouncer was about to throw them off, Mr. Butler waived him off and let them stay. So others got bold and jumped and he kept the bouncer at bay. Before he was a 1/3 of the way through the song, 50+ people were onstage happily dancing away shoulder to shoulder - stage got maxed out and a bunch of girls were hanging on Butler so much he had a hard time reading his unmemorized lyrics. Quite the cool spectacle. He stoked out a lot of people that night. No one got hurt and nothing got damaged.

All Furs music is great - but the recordings would seriously benefit from a long overdue remastering!

This is one of my favorites from them; sweet melody, great guitar sound, and Richard Butler's vocals are outstanding.  Well...I think so anyhow.

love the furs. hate this song. there is so much better songs from them to choose from. this one i skipped it when i had the vinyl and i skip it with the cd player and i remove it from winamp.

 

Agreed. This song is very weak. So much better music in their catalog.

the drums are really annoying. remove them and the song would be better.
