Psychedelic Furs, The - Alice's House Lyrics






In the house where Alice lives, colours clash
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you, telling the time

In the garden where you row, flowers die
People say it's cold out there
You disagree, she's telling me

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
She writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the softest room you sing, without a key
The butler is serving tea
Wearing a shirt without any sleeves

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
He writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

In the bedroom down the hall
Your secrets sleep
It is always late at night
Won't you stay? Why don't you stay?

In the house where Alice lives, colours clash
It's a mess of souvenirs
There to remind you, telling the time

Come and spend the day at Alice's house (Alice's house)
Pass some time away at Alice's house (Alice's house)
She writes a note saying please don't go
Please don't go

Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house
Alice's house

    la musica NEW WAVE è quella che seguo da 30 anni e non mi ha ancora stufata, tutte le volte mi piace sempre di più

    B.... C....

    Concordo appieno. Non soltanto e' la musica della mia generazione, ma si differenzia sostanzialmente dalla realta' odierna per fantasia poesia e bellezza.

  14. l.... ....

    A great, driving rock and roll song you can dance too.Forever Furs

  15. B.... W....

    30 yrs later, this still kicks azz.... wow....

  16. D.... R....

    The furs were a favorite 80s band. A superb mix of dark rocking , great deep drenched vocals by butler. Perhaps one of my most favorite singers.

    D.... R....

    I feel the same way. Awesome band and singer!

    D.... R....

    Great voice indeed,

  17. R.... A....

    sebass new cat alice always after cooper

  18. F.... A....

    The 80's weren't crap..There's the Furs, The Birthday Party, The The, Bauhaus list is endless. .I was into Bowie from 72 but the 80's were brilliant too..so much stuff....This Picture of Butler looks just like my late partner, it was good back then.

    F.... A....

    A ton of great artists in the 80's. The Furs, The Smiths, The Cure, Echo and the Bunnymen, Oingo Boingo, Midnight Oil, Inxs, The Police, Red Hot Chili Peppers, etc. etc.

  19. m.... j....

    ......Glastonbury 1986...
    !
    !
    !

  20. m.... j....

    the first 2 albums are the best!
    !
    !
    !

  21. W.... R....

    When people say "Weren't the 80s crap" this is what you play to them. This, and the dance mix of 'Heartbeat'...

    W.... R....

    This was about the only pop worth listening to in the whole world. And it was considered an alternative band back then.

  22. P.... d....

    my fav by the furs

  23. J.... M....

    I think I'll play this at the next Halloween party :-)

  24. J.... M....

    Boy it's been ages since I heard that tune...

  25. r.... c....

    Best song on Mirror Moves

    r.... c....

    Hell yeah buddy

  26. T.... C....

    Nobody can bum me out like this band.... seriously, they are brilliant though and I can't stop listening.

    T.... C....

    this is one of my favorite Furs songs - along with 'run and run' and PRESIDENT GAS 

  27. j.... L....

    I was always pretty sure this song was about a girl in an insane asylum. The waiting, the perceived dangers outside, the shirt with no sleeves... etc.

    j.... L....

    I was always pretty sure this is just another one of those mundane surreal dream-like places that Richard Butler is always setting his songs in.

  28. T.... D....

    Instrumentally this is profoundly ecstatic music guaranteed to raise the kundalini of even the most inhibited listener.  The lyrics encourage a listener to step out of the default envelope and live creatively, eliminating assumptions and expectations of all kinds to gain a clearer understanding of one's own potential.   

  29. d.... ....

    Remember when this album came out. Still my fav Furs record!

  30. T.... ....

    i love this song since when iwas 14

  31. D.... R....

    I play it in the Attitudes band . Well ,,,, i attempt it .

    D.... R....

    😂😂😂😂
