Psychedelic Furs, The - Torch Lyrics
A thousand rainy days
And I spoke on tongues that talk of saints
Burned down days like cigarettes
For your hollow praise
Down the days that you forget
Keep it, hide it all away
Let it never show
All of this and I regret
Not a day that I was sent
Celebrated and arose
For your vanity in vain
Framed the faces I applaud
All the same sad eyes
Write the world between the lines
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
Let it never show
All of this I now regret
Not a day that I was sent
Not a name that I might place
Not at my parade
In the four walls of my room
Standing where I wait
Others praised and I can't come
Tore the pictures off my walls
There's a secret that I keep
Let it never show
All of this I now regret
Not a day that I was sent
All of this I now regret
Not a name that I might place
Not at my parade
Framed the faces I applaud
All the same sad eyes
Write the world between the lines
I heard it all, I heard it spoke
In the four walls of my room

Psychedelic Furs, The Torch Comments
Much reminiscent of the Australian indie bands of the 90's (eg. You Am I). Takes me back...
This sounds like Justin Bieber.
Whenever i Witness Someone Getting Unearned Accolades the words FOR Ur HOLLOW PRAISE Ring in my Mind and i Gotta Tell Ya Lately ive Been Ringing Like a Bell
This is such a beautiful song.
loving this song so much💀💚🎵🎧💚💀
Couldn't love this song more.
Doesn't this sound just like Get a Room?
butler at his best lyrically and this album was just looked over by everyone it seems, it always seemed obviously amazing when i put it on and still does.
Everybody should listen to this very good album which is in my TOP100.
Frst listening : bof
Second listening : good
Third listening : very good
4th listening : putain! c bon ce truc!
@David Foucart Un des meilleurs groupes que je connais :)
David Foucart As a long time fan of the band, I regret that I didn't see the genius of many of the tracks of this record (I can now blame it on youth) Brilliant beyond words.
Superb music-wish they'd tour New Zealand!!
This is one of my favorite songs. And Richard Butler is my favorite vocalist. I'm using this link as the Mason Summers song of the day for our Facebook fans.
Me too, those albums don't get the attention they deserve. Such great songwriting and texture.
book of days and world outside are my favorite albums, I really love the honesty and bleakness to it, not the most catchy album they made but something about it emotionally for me just puts it above the rest
Was not that impressed & I really don't think of any after Mirror moves However I have not heard much of the two u mention to comment yet ! Live I bet they still do great gigs, But It all went down hill after the best album forever Now !!!!
Great tune, thanks for uploading it.
@charlottemouse mine too. WHAT A GREAT TUNE!
this make me sad,and happy, thanx psychedelic furs.
I graduated high school in 1992 and this was my theme song in the year book. There are so many dynamics to it, the lyrics, the tempo, the instruments. It's so poetic that it doesn't even need music to be amazing. It is and will always be my favorite song. Can't wait to see them at The Cannery on 7/07/11!
Richard Butler.. class.................
I love the whole album Book of Days, it was my favorite album they ever made followed by world outside
my most favorite furs song, hands down. just gorgeous, and richard's lyrics are just so evocative. "burn down days like cigarettes..."
I saw the Furs twice I was just 16 when they done Mirror Moves & then M 2 Midnight, both in Liverpool manford hall & then the royal court, Always been guttered that I missed Forever Now My Favourite Album By far, thanks 4 the song's & the memories of Two Wondrousness Nights..!!!!
LOVE IT - My favourite Furs song ever
LOVE LOVE this song...I bought this cd when it came out in the early 90s, and fell in love with this -- Thank you for posting
This song was incredible, still one of my total faves. I remember how heavy it was live , John Ashton said he doesn't like this one, as it is one of the most depressing pieces he ever played. A masterpiece it is, 2 guitarists, a cellist and Richard, the lights were only on richard, and a little on the cellist, we all melted, it was almost holy that night.
