This has become my favorite Furs song too. It’s been in my head for a month. Thought listening to it enough I’d get burned out of it. Here comes Cowboys and sister Europe also bring a fresh appreciation along with many great memories of the early 80’s.
Although they have numerous excellent songs, this to me is their best produced one. It's fully realized with satisfying transitions and chords. The distorted guitars seem off-putting at first but then you are quickly pulled in by the catchy hook. Unexpectedly approachable. One of those songs that's hard to improve upon - the sign of a timeless classic. Plus some of the lyrics are haunting: Painted lies on painted lips I don't believe that I believed in you Sunday's child will fall through faith Grey city sky comes down like rain to drown me in my sleep Imagine my disappointment when they didn't play it when I saw them perform a few years ago. :-( But after their outdoor show I saw Richard Butler walking from behind the stage to his trailer, and he happened to look over to the crowd area where I was and I caught his eye and waved "hi!" and he smiled back. Cool. :-)
Sunday's child will fall through faith i feel i'm falling out of grace grey city sky comes down like rain to drown me in my sleep people fade and i forget you i hear footsteps see their faces but it all means nothing to me now
The Furs were one of the first new wave bands I got totally into in my youth. Saw them several times live. So many awesome songs from them. This is one of my favs.........Love playing this on guitar....
Lyrics city sky comes down like rain through all the alleys to the sea i hear footsteps getting louder drowning in my sleep painted lies on painted lips that promise heaven tastes like this i don't believe that i believed in you all that money wants all that money wants all that money wants sunday's child will fall through faith i feel i'm falling out of grace grey city sky comes down like rain to drown me in my sleep people fade and i forget you i hear footsteps see their faces but it all means nothing to me now all that money wants all that money wants all that money wants city sky comes down like rain through all the alleys to the sea i hear her footsteps getting louder i'm drowning in my sleep painted lies on broken lips that promise heaven tastes like this came home pushed and full of pins sunday's child will fall through faith i feel i'm falling out of grace i see the sky comes down like rain to drown me in my sleep people fade and i forget you i hear footsteps icy faces but it all means nothing to me all that money wants all that money wants all that money wants all that money wants
I have loved the Psychedelic Furs. When going out to the clubs I had to hear 'Love My Way' before the night was gone. They were the passion I loved to move to and their music brings memories back of times for being young and having a good time. The door to a tomorrow was real and it was open, it was an unknown what would be found there until it just got worse each day until all the good times, youth, passion and friendships went away. Until it became clear that monsters, tyranny, oppression was back to stay. The end of everything the monsters have made abundantly clear.
This, my favorite Psychedelic Furs song, might be the most difficult to unravel, but I'll take a stab. Everyone gets hung up on the money and greed angle, but I don't believe that's the point. The song is definitely about a relationship that went bad, leaving a bitter taste in the writer's psyche. When I listen, I hear stinging regret. Being lured by promises of love that turned out to be lies. Most of the lyrics are very literal: the sky feels like it's falling and draining life away to the ocean. He's haunted by her memory, and somehow still clinging, or wanting to cling (people fade and I forget you). So where does the money come in? If I were to guess, maybe the girl in the lyrics wanted a guy who was filthy rich rather than him. If only he had the money, maybe he could have the love... or maybe she's filled with nothing but lies and he'll always be haunted by what he thought could have been. It's a stab at interpreting this incredible song, but I've been in this exact situation and it just fits perfectly. I always thought the Furs were at their best when they shared haunting moments and imagery through their music.
I am in love with the music playing in this recording...the drums, bass, and guitar tracks are so simple..but played with such smooth feel...it's such a British thing..but God ..it is so so cool...it's like letting space glide with the notes...👑
One of my all-time favorite bands Psychedelic Furs I have a lot of CDs by them I think my favorite one is the Psychedelic Furs Greatest Hits 17 songs and I like 15 out of the 17 really cool
Love the Psych Furs so, of course I love this video/song. So much talent and heart... makes me miss 80s music!! Thanks for posting this. Such incredible memories from my Metropol dance club days!
People who say Butler sounds like Bowie, Iggy Pop, Sex Pistols, Manny Moe and Jack, or any body else is irrational and irritating. People hear a sax or an English accent, so Richard Butler 'sounds' like Bowie. Butler is his own animal. His gravelly voice alone stands out, and his quality compositions throughout the 80s makes him one of a kind and original. Robert at 67.
Butler's voice is unique and incredible. I've never heard anyone remotely like him and I've listened to EVERY Bowie album including the ones he probably wished he hadn't made!
@@mindrolling24 Yep, they both are incredible & absolutely one of a kind in their own right. Along with Mark Burgess from the Chameleons, my top 3 favorite male singers.
One of the best songs written specifically for a greatest hits album. Maybe their greatest song ever released. A classic swan song for a brilliant band
Of 80s vocalists, to me, Richard Butler is the most interesting sounding, with his gravel voiced/chain smokers 'enhanced' sound and noticeable English accent appealing. For shear vocal excitement and immediacy Simon Labon of Duran Duran is my other pick. Robert at 67.
Your joking...House (video version) in my book is his best tune, compositionally, lyrically, vocally, musically. It at LEAST equals 'All that money wants'. More 'top drawer' post 'All that money wants' tunes- 'Entertain me', 'Sometimes'. Bob at 65.

2023 still a smash song.
35 years of being a Furs fan brought me here.
I used to listen to the furs all the time with my dad. He died recently and listening to their music makes me feel like he is here with me.
❤
He is - our beloved ones never leave.
@@davidgold5961I hope that's true
I shared that Very same with me dads...I really wish you well.
This song is my favourite Furs song of all time.
totally
Ya me too.
is it really?
doesnt it just blow your mind how someone could actually downvote this??? lol
some of earths last rockstars rite here.
Totally agree. many to choose from though.
I love this song so much. It still points back to a painful but incredible time when I was 18 yrs old.
Details!!!
@@boudusaved4719 RESPECT TO YOUR DAD, RIP.

All that money wants is awesome. About as good as the Psychedelic Furs get.
It’s “underrated” by whom? These bands still perform to millions around the world.
The late '80's produced such epic and underrated music in many genres.
Echo and the Bunn tomem, The Church, New Order etc
Absolutely
One of the best Rock Band ever.. They were very wronged. At least 7 of their songs should have reached the top 5 on the billboard.
fucking great band.
Very few of today's artists go as deep!
Echo and The Bunnymen vibe!
Absolutely their best song, awe-inspiring
We could possibly have an argument. I love pretty much all their songs!
dumb waiters is their best song in my humble opinion 🙂
House.
You ain’t joking!!
BEST 80s band by far! Still going strong 40 years later. No surprise there. I've seen them about five times. Even saw Love Spit Love.
Lucky you.
GOD DAMN! Music was good back then!

Painted lies on painted lips

Grey city sky comes down like rain to drown me in my sleep

Lyrics
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
Icy faces or I see faces.....
@@Taveren17 I was gonna put that too lol
Great lyrics. His writing his voice and his looks.He must of won the lottery in the gene pool.
This really needs to be added to their live setlist. I haven't heard this live in years.
they played it on this current tour!!! amazing.
I did in 82 and 2000. Being transported.
They played it May 15, 2023...it's why I'm here lol
Seeing them tonight in Clearwater...we're awesome in December 21..my 2nd favorite song behind Love My Way..how was the show?
@@marklamanna6420 We enjoyed the Furs a lot! Reply here tomorrow and tell us what you thought.
First time hearing this song. It is great. Just saw them live a few weeks ago. Awesome show!
"Until She Comes" was of the very last great ones
It was cool to have Vince Ely back for this single and the Book of Days album.

Saudade.
No
One of my all time fav Furs tunes.....I love Richard!!
yes✌
The singer reminds me so much of Bowie looks-wise. Love this band.
After dealing with music industry assbites for 8 odd years, I can see why Richard Butler penned 'All that money wants.'...
This, my favorite Psychedelic Furs song, might be the most difficult to unravel, but I'll take a stab.

Richard Butler is the most beautiful man on earth in this video.
I am in love with the music playing in this recording...the drums, bass, and guitar tracks are so simple..but played with such smooth feel...it's such a British thing..but God ..it is so so cool...it's like letting space glide with the notes...👑
Nothing like a lilting Brittish accent in a 60's, 70's or 80's rock tune. Brittish invasion 'yal.
@@bobmalack481thank God
Like how he barely fights off a grin at the last 5 seconds of video, Butler the cool one.
Wow the world summed up by this ditty,s title its all the bloomin, world is interested in!❤❤❤😊😊😊😅😅😅😂😂😂
Easily their best tune, both wildly relevant for the time (1988), and even more so prescient considering the ensuing 35 years................
Very much ,so President Gas is also a timely and relevant song in today's,political, military climate.
what a fantastic track the drums are spot on
My favorite The Psychedelic Furs song ..................... greetings of Peru 🇵🇪 ...
Still the best Band ever.
"Painted lies on painted lips...I don't believe that i believed in you"
Great line, on par with Butler genious lyrics.
This song is stupid good.
They’re the coolest
the furs produced the most brilliant music... originality and that shifting psychic edge flowed through.....every...thing especially this....
Thanks for the music and the great memories! "Our sweetest songs tell of saddest thought"......
Richard sometimes reminds me of Bowie, love Psychedelic Furs man
Thr furs always mention rain and love in their songs
Rain and fog, a common thing in U.K.
..and in their early stuff 'all of this mess'...
I wonder if he loves rain like I do. He uses rain a whole lot in his lyrics
The Butlers, voice and bass.
Great band. Great theme. Well done clip. Love Butler voice and lyrics-
A very unique classic.
Thank you for this song and helping me through a divorce.
been there. 💗🍀✌🙂👍!
Back in the day when music meant something.
I love this song....got to see the Furs live twice in Pittsburgh, PA....hope they come back
I love Pittsburgh and this band
Dear to muh heart classic
a song that still stands out today!
The holy Trinity 🙏

~favorite 80s male singers...
Mr Adrian Borland
What a great big song!!
Great band. I especially love their work right at the beginning of the 80s, and right at the end. Great band all the way through.
This song was playing on the tv on my cruise
I saw them in concert at the Sausalito Art Festival. What a blast!!
Of the tracks that were worth living
One of my all-time favorite bands Psychedelic Furs I have a lot of CDs by them I think my favorite one is the Psychedelic Furs Greatest Hits 17 songs and I like 15 out of the 17 really cool
You should search " Heart Break Beat 12" Extended version...
Vaya pasada de canción y grupo, como molan. El nuevo disco magistral
Definitely my favorite Furs song. Wish they had played it though when I saw them in concert a couple of years ago.
I believe that he is still beside you watching you and helping you. He loves you still
This is to the one that used to listen to the psychedelic furs with their dad
Love the Psych Furs so, of course I love this video/song. So much talent and heart... makes me miss 80s music!! Thanks for posting this. Such incredible memories from my Metropol dance club days!

The funny thing is, though I'd never compare Butler and Bowie's voice, the intro to this song has always reminded me of Bowie's "Heroes".
For sure ❤️
AMEN
Damn, what a great band love this song text me back to my high school days in the 80s with the ladies
All that I want is you. And I mean you. Great song, great mind, great faces.
Here we are living where doctors and teachers love the money folks..
....high school in the 80s!!!!
Drums and bass baby 🎵🎶👂💥💨👶
I like this I would love to view updated cover video.
Spectacular lyrics
Deadly class!!!!
One of the best songs written specifically for a greatest hits album. Maybe their greatest song ever released. A classic swan song for a brilliant band
No swan song. Do you know the definition of the term. They are not dying.
But I get your meaning.

What a Band !
Tout l’album était génial
one of my fav bands 💖🩷💛
great come back song even tho it was 20? years ago.....
Fantastic songwriting here.
Deadly class brought me here..
Its amongst mine they have so many to choose from a lot of their songs are underated like this one awsome
Still the last great furs song
Can't wait to see them on long Island on 4-12-14
I don't know. I like this song, but I prefer House and Until She Comes to it.
The Furs on LI at 4/12/14.... What a show!
They did not play: Sister Europe, Get a Room and All That Money Wants :(
Still excellent!
The last truly great song they did. What a run of greatness. Still touring 2018.
Saw them last night here in Houston. Great show and the sounded excellent. They did not play this song though, which is my favorite of theirs.
Except for all the great stuff they did on book of days and world outside :/

@@bobmalack481 And new LP Made of Rain. Great. Deb at 66 ; )
'House' the video version is their last great tune..Robert at 66.
the first track that got me into the furs in 1988
vennero a Pescara nel teatro tenda nel 1982 eravamo in otto a vederli e tutti di famiglia partiti da Napoli,poverini che accoglienza...
2020!!!

My fav furs song too!!!
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear footsteps getting louder
drowning in my sleep
painted lies on painted lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
i don't believe that i believed in you
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
grey city sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps see their faces
but it all means nothing to me now
all that money wants
all that money wants
all that money wants
city sky comes down like rain
through all the alleys to the sea
i hear her footsteps getting louder
i'm drowning in my sleep
painted lies on broken lips
that promise heaven tastes like this
came home pushed and full of pins
sunday's child will fall through faith
i feel i'm falling out of grace
i see the sky comes down like rain
to drown me in my sleep
people fade and i forget you
i hear footsteps icy faces
but it all means nothing to me
all that money wants

all that money wants
