Psychedelic Furs, The - Dumb Waiters Lyrics






Give me all your paper ma
Gimme all your jazz
Give me something that I need
Something I can have
Mrs. London's coming round
She's coming with her son
Gimme all your paper ah
So I can get a gun
She has got it in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
She's so mean
Give me all your paper ma
So I can buy a train
They just wanna suck you in
To being one of them
Tell her that I'm not in here
Tell her I'm a freak
Tell her that I fall about
Every time I speak
She has got in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
I just scream
Give me all your paper ma
So I can buy a train
I don't know how I got in here
It's making me insane
Have another cigarette
And have another cigarette
In a room where lovers go
Talking on the telephone
They have go it in for me
Yeah I mean it honestly
They all dream

Psychedelic Furs, The Dumb Waiters Comments
  1. V.... D....

    One of the absolute best songs EVER. I JUST SCREAM!!! The most underrated band in History! TOP THREE UK BANDS OF THE 1980?? *'The Psychedelic Furs', 'Depeche Mode' and 'The Stone Roses'* UTTER GENIUS! Sex Pistols meets Sgt Peppers!

  2. l.... b....

    I love this too

  3. I.... B....

    Timeless...Good enough to last 1000 years.

  4. C.... ....

    Good god ... remember this vividly living in NOLA

    What a time to be alive...

  5. C.... W....

    I remember this when it first came out!

  6. m.... ....

    There are so many infinitely better songs from “talk talk talk” than this boring, monotonous garbage song...”into you like a train” being an excellent example

  7. S.... B....

    Then in 85 The Smiths' How Soon Is Now became a sister song.

  8. S.... S....

    Still hold the test of time better than most.
    Perfect. Just perfect.

  9. D.... ....

    UNFKNBLVBLYGORGEOUS <3 <3 <3

  10. S.... S....

    The guitar work is just so bitching. Love ya furs.

  11. S.... S....

    Tape drags. Still. Very best.

  12. K.... ....

    Perfection 👌🏻

  13. W.... M....

    CLASSIC, CLASSIC,CLASSIC.

  14. D.... B....

    Original lineup, hell yeah! I’ve never seen this. Thank you so much for posting. Pure gold.

  15. L.... H....

    I can't wait to see them in Royal Oak in July!!!! Its gonna be a great party.

  16. D.... T....

    When I hear this song I never left where I was. I am still there.

  17. M.... W....

    Not to be confused with the song of the same name by The Korgis!

  18. t.... G....

    No internet when this song came out

  19. J.... ....

    exelente canción, saludos desde Chile !

  20. S.... M....

    Nice title bad song

  21. f.... ....

    This band captured such a mystique at the time, and their music still does. It's so out there and so unique. Noone has the balls to release music this uncommercial these days. I would love to be in a band doing this kind of music, though. Butler should get a check from the tobacco companies. I doubt he smokes now, but he's a walking cigarette advetisement.

  22. 2.... ....

    Todd rundgren got fkd

    2.... ....

    He didn't produce this song.

  23. E.... O....

    first time i heard this album it made me feel truely alive now check out the eyes of isabel on youtube

  24. G.... M....

    She's so meannnnnnn! ¡!!!!!!

  25. t.... ....

    this makes me want to style my hair like leo from titanic and smoke a cigarette, in my room after school while listen to records on vinyl

  26. D.... O....

    This song grew on me big time, I used to hate it. Can't get enough of it now!

  27. e.... d....

    Just a remarkable slice of post punk.

  28. e.... d....

    also the record with the proper version of "Pretty in Pink."

    e.... d....

    Talk Talk Talk

  29. D.... E....

    Fierce track.Have another 🚬 and scream!! Video is a bit dodgy. An edit as well.still clutch.

  30. E.... H....

    Masterpiece

  31. P.... B....

    Finally found this tune! Love it.

  32. A.... A....

    Richard Butler looks like John Lydon.

  33. S.... ....

    Perfect example behind why bands today are pathetically bad. This shit makes my hair stand straight up. When I hear Coldplay or imagine dragons I want to punch them in the face. So bloody awful

    S.... ....

    So true!!!!

    S.... ....

    Then listen to Nitemirror instead

    S.... ....

    @Douglas Luckey he thinks the furs are from 98. Or that dragons band. He can't be that lost

    S.... ....

    @The Porsche Dude ya speak of dragons are from 1998. Not the furs? Right.

    S.... ....

    I loved the Furs but there were shit bands then too ! Check out the Murder Capital... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Riran2Oi1M&list=RD2SmnKIjCnlk&index=5

  34. R.... B....

    The best

  35. m.... j....

    More grey hair, but they still got it.... Saw em last Sunday for the umpteenth time since 1980!
    They opened with this and totally nailed it
    ;~)

    m.... j....

    Glad they can still turn out good live shows - I'm tempted to get tickets

    m.... j....

    misterjohn john

  36. u.... P....

  37. H.... K....

    Still amazing after all this time.Furs rule...

  38. S.... K....

    I've got it for you Richard ♥️😍😘🎨🔫🌡💎

  39. A.... L....

    Criminal how little this has been viewed/played.

    A.... L....

    Yes. It is. Yet the more for us. :)

    A.... L....

    I agree. Very strange, indeed

    A.... L....

    John Ashton killing it

  40. f.... H....

    Smoking is bad for you kids.

    f.... H....

    Don't worry I don't smoke. I just sometimes sniff permanent markers...

  41. J.... C....

    Such a perfect beat

  42. J.... C....

    listening to this with headphones drowning out my High-School......Ahhhhhh Pure memories

  46. A.... ....

    Don't know how I got in here. It's making me insane.

  47. t.... ....

    Classique post punk.

  48. m.... ....

    when the british ruled the pop charts.

  49. f.... ....

    Why such a short edit? love the proper *full length* take of this.

  50. B.... C....

    Tra qualche anno vedrete quanti apprezzeranno questo pezzo....

  51. s.... c....

    A post-punk masterpiece.
    The wrong drugs,paranoia,a riff to kill for,art school pan sexuality,and best of all near chaos.
    Oh how we need this shit now.

    s.... c....

    shaunsk citizen I think the word is androgeny. Fuck Pan Sexual.

    s.... c....

    'The wrong drugs'. ('cigarette's' was dismissive) No the right drugs (trip).The paranoia provides itself and comes with present day reality. I AM a Psychedelic Fur. It's all in my mind though these days and has been so for decades. A little good hash just for the jamming helps though. And an everyday closer to death attitude to keep the adrenaline flowing and the shark moving forwards. Highwire days can only be an eye opening (if used not abused) season of life but you must then afterwards seek that in everyday life. That's where maturity comes in, caring for others around you (wife, kids, parents, friends, buddies etc) and the need to survive and not fail as an intoxicated bumbler. No need to give up on the fire within though. I'll bet RIchard Butler agrees.

  52. L.... S....

    This is a perfect song

    L.... S....

    +Louise Galdamez I say this to my son for certain songs. I agree on this one.

    L.... S....

    +Louise Galdamez yes !

    L.... S....

    Thanks to

  53. B.... A....

    Dang, love it.

  54. M.... P....

    C'est fait depuis longtemps !

  55. M.... ....

    ...Butler Rep & Co really split the atom on this one!... pure CLASS!!...

    M.... ....

    +MrsFish7
    Absolutely.
    Pure post-punk,bad drugs paranoia.
    Superb,South London's finest.

    M.... ....

    Hai detto bene... pura classe!

  56. O.... ....

    One of the ONLY bands from the 80's worth bothering about, an Oasis in a wllderness of scummy froth - no pun intended.

  57. e.... ....

    This is awesome

  58. s.... ....

    This sounds like complete shit. I'm accustomed to people fucking up audio encoding when they try to upload shit to youtube, but from a "vevo"-related channel? You guys are making money off this, you could certainly do a batter job - it sounds like it's encoded about 64 kbps... you'd do better to listen to this on an untuned-AM radio than listen to this version.  "PsychedelicFursVEVO" should delete this, since there are acceptable versions on youtube already. 

    s.... ....

    If you listen to the vinyl version it's more likely better at the end than this one

    s.... ....

    @Largactyl Kid  Free? No, it's not free. The deal is they get to show you advertising, and you get to hear a song. 
    Consider it this way: you like the original song, I assume, since you're here on the page for the song, and looking at the comments. Does this sound like the original song? Maybe someone who never heard Psychedelic Furs before wants to check them out - and this shitty recording is the first thing they hear. "Hmm," the first-time listener would think, "they're pretty popular, but they sound like absolute shit." 

    s.... ....

    +shoesnew99 As I said, the original analogue recording isn't that great & whenever I've watched the video from Vevo I've listened through a decent DAC & amp as well as  not once having to to watch an ad. Buy the CD/vinyl you whiner. Try down loading 'Ad Block' too. Tight arse.

    s.... ....

    actually that's just the recording. It was done to sound extra rough.

    s.... ....

    Actually, no. OPP is correct. Original recording sounds massive and complex. This is tiny.

  59. B.... W....

    Amazing

  60. b.... ....

    Fucken love this...
    Played the record so much, i wore it out...
    I was 14 when this was released.
    Still holds up..all the Furs tunes do.

    b.... ....

    You could have put your record under a truck tire after it wore out, and it would still not sound as shitty as "PsychedelicFursVEVO's" upload - they fucked up the audio encoding, either when they did the AD conversion, or when they uploaded it to youtube. Unacceptably fucked-up audio fidelity. 

    b.... ....

    @shoesnew99 ....I hear where you're coming from, shoesnew99... but I don't think people surf YouTube/VEVO expecting sonic excellence.... if you want the full meat and two veg' sound you'll get out your lovingly preserved original Japanese vinyl copy of Talk Talk Talk .... or even the superior 45rpm 7" vinyl version.....

    b.... ....

    Sonic excellence is neither expected nor evoked in my criticism of the uploader of this copy of the song. This is unacceptably poor quality encoding. 

    b.... ....

    Side is one of those rare eclectic and great r&r lp sides ...... imho

  61. f.... ....

    Pretty not great rendering of the song. Should hear it off the vinyl through some Klipschorns in 1985 at a drunken house party. Much better. People nowadays don't even don't know what dissonance is.

  62. J.... A....

    Have another cigarette and have another cigarette / in a room where lovers go talking on the telephone

  63. c.... ....

    Easily my favorite Furs song....

  64. H.... A....

    Love this!!!

  65. M.... H....

    When the furs ruled

  66. 2.... ....

    Completely agree!

  67. l.... ....

    tell her that I'm not in here tell her I'm a freak, tell her that I fall about every time I speak.
    she has got it in for me, yeah I mean it honestly.

  68. e.... d....

    awesome son, from an even better album. yeah, thats riht I said album.I would play it on my Hi-Fi...bitches.

  69. A.... C....

    Psychedelic Furs OUTCLASS a lot of today's Rock Acts !

    A.... C....

    Truth right there !
