There's an army on the dance floor
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
So swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race
It's a fashion with a gun my love
In a room without a door
A kiss is not enough in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
They'd put us on a railroad
They'd dearly make us pay
For laughing in their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness behind their eyes
There's dust in all their hearts
They just want to steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
Love my way, it's a new road
I follow where my mind goes
So swallow all your tears my love
And put on your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't run the race
| eroz (Boston) | Posted: May 28, 2013 - 11:57 Absolute classic. For me anyway. |
| photolew | Posted: Sep 19, 2012 - 06:33 this sure brings back some memories of my senior year in high school.......hard to believe nearly 30 years already |
| sirdroseph (Yes) | Posted: Jul 18, 2012 - 08:26 This is a fine song. |
| dw (PHill, CA) | Posted: Mar 13, 2012 - 14:54 Not my fav Psych Fur tune but the band's music is nostalgic and this song feels sad in a good way. |

| ziakut (Unmoon) | Posted: Feb 10, 2012 - 20:37 Great tune for nostalgia...but I don't feel it holds up too well these days. It really has a draggy, sluggish feel to it. When Butler sings "Love My Way"...it has that old, tired, worn sound to it. So...his way is the dusty, draggy, sluggish way? Maybe I'm just a confused fool...cuz I like this tune for the same reasons that I am criticizing it. Oh well...sorry I wasted anyone's time reading this....oops. |

I felt like an idiot for not seeing it once she told me the reason. "Two words, shirtless volleyball." |

The music that may have been "rebellious" or "avant garde" in the 1960's and 70's is now largely a simple tool and mundane adornment of "The Establishment" (as it once was called). Because of the saturation of "culture" that we are exposed to everywhere, it could be difficult to identify something new and fresh. Music always does change to some extent, but with the exception of the technology, I've seen little significantly noticeable changes or innovations in popular music since the Punk/New Wave/Grunge cycle, (that notion, of course, could be debated). Even though musicians (or even non-musicians) can affordably produce and release their own recordings, with computers and such, I believe that it is more difficult for a sincere musician than it was forty years ago. Well, it's just my humble opinion. Great song by the way. Wow. You almost summed up why we listen hear, nice. But seriously, Thanks for your excellent translation. |

Eh... we'll all be gone by 2012 so you're 8 years off. Just ask Nostradamus! |

A station here in the tri-state area plays "oldies from the 50s and early 60s". They've used that terminology since the late 70s. But the stations that play stuff from the mid 60s thru the early 90s refer to it as "classic rock", which has always amused me. Will they still call it that in 20 years? |

At least it doesn't seem nearly as dated as a 25 year old song in 1982 would have.  Well put! |

No, it's because Clear Channell controlled radio and MTV controlled TV music channells suck, and don't allow for good new music. That's why I listen to RP to hear and learn about the good new music in the mix. |
| xkolibuul (Chuckanut sandstone) | Posted: Feb 25, 2008 - 20:54 I have the opposite reaction. I used to think this was a great tune, but following that luscious number by The National, this now seems a rather saccharine assemblage of bad 80s musical habits. iggam wrote: I think it still holds up 25 years later.

Absolutely. I didn't even get it until about 2K. And I definitely had my head in in the 80's. GREAT song IMO. |
