The Psychedelic Furs recorded this strangely mesmerizing live version of Love My Way at Perkins Palace in Pasadena, US in 1983, for a tv music programme. It has a slower tempo than the album version from Forever Now (1982), yet the timing is very even and Richard Butler is pitch perfect.
Lyrics:
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
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
awhoo awhoo awhoo awhoo
Love my way, love my way
love my way, love my… way.
@livus They were always good live.
@Words have you seen them? I never managed to but I hear good things about them live even now.
