Tiny hands are counting every second
The minutes, hours and days go by outside
Tiny throws the salt behind his shoulder
And straps you in to take you for a ride
Tiny hands knows all your secrets
He holds them in his tiny hands
The numbing pain, the tears, the pins and needles
The smile that says that something's wrong again
Icy skies as far as the horizon
We're on the wrong road staring at the end
Tiny hands knows where you're going
From A to B and back again
And tiny tails you like a shadow
And holds you in his tiny hands

The Boy That Invented Rock and Roll
A flight of crows, my insect heart
The ticking veins, this godless dark
The druggy days the pointless pain
The letterbox that's full of rain
My glitter hips, this bloodless art
The end of days, the starless dark
A bag of tears where love is gone
The darling days, a siren song
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
The breathless air, the frozen tide
The greenless spring, the timeless night
The suicidal drunken dance
The sense that things will fall apart
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
The ticking veins, this godless dark
The druggy days the pointless pain
The letterbox that's full of rain
My glitter hips, this bloodless art
The end of days, the starless dark
A bag of tears where love is gone
The darling days, a siren song
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
The breathless air, the frozen tide
The greenless spring, the timeless night
The suicidal drunken dance
The sense that things will fall apart
I am the boy that invented rock and roll
I am the boy that invented rock and roll

Thisll Never Be Like Love
When love is at your feet with promises to keep
It's easy to pretend this road will never end
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
You argue and complain and give yourself away
The deathless air you breathe, your social circle scene
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
A cold and drowning sea of secrets that you keep
The hand that moves the time, the tears, well, never mind
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
Your faith has fallen down, confetti on the ground
The pictures that you keep, the lies you tell to please
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
It's easy to pretend this road will never end
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
You argue and complain and give yourself away
The deathless air you breathe, your social circle scene
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
A cold and drowning sea of secrets that you keep
The hand that moves the time, the tears, well, never mind
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love
Your faith has fallen down, confetti on the ground
The pictures that you keep, the lies you tell to please
This'll never be like love
This'll never be like love

Stars
The stars are out, they spark and flash
A snake is sliding through the grass underneath
The moon is shining through the trees
The starlings on the wires leave while we sleep
These are the days
That we will all remember
These are the days
That we will all remember
Your footsteps in the morning snow
The frost where all the dew is frozen and the crows
Into the sea where fishes swim
We drown, and where do I begin these darling days?
These are the days
That we will all remember
These are the days
That we will all remember
A snake is sliding through the grass underneath
The moon is shining through the trees
The starlings on the wires leave while we sleep
These are the days
That we will all remember
These are the days
That we will all remember
Your footsteps in the morning snow
The frost where all the dew is frozen and the crows
Into the sea where fishes swim
We drown, and where do I begin these darling days?
These are the days
That we will all remember
These are the days
That we will all remember

No-One
Who's gonna wear your crown, no one
The queens of the underground or no one
The sirens will never sing
Just silence in everything
For no one at all
Who's on the telephone, why no one
Babel or Babylon or no one
Dressed up in Halloween for no one
Where nobody ever screams
For no one at all
And who's gonna cut you down
Why no one
And get your feet on the ground
Why no one at all
Under the darkest skies with no one
With stars in your starry eyes for no one
Who's on the telephone no one
Babel or Babylon or no one at all
And who's gonna wear your rings
Why no one
And tempt you with senseless things
Why no one
And who's gonna cut you down
Why no one
And get your feet on the ground
Why no one at all
Why no one at all
Why no one at all
Why no one at all
The queens of the underground or no one
The sirens will never sing
Just silence in everything
For no one at all
Who's on the telephone, why no one
Babel or Babylon or no one
Dressed up in Halloween for no one
Where nobody ever screams
For no one at all
And who's gonna cut you down

And get your feet on the ground

Why no one at all
Why no one at all

Youll Be Mine
Don't be surprised when every second has its place
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when all your days are yesterdays
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
In the ticking of the time
You'll be mine
Don't be surprised when all your dreams all fade away
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when every dog has had its day
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new lows are high
Like a lesson learned in time
You'll be mine
Don't be surprised when all the traffic runs to rust
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when all these houses fall to dust
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
In the ticking of the time
You'll be mine
Don't be surprised if they don't want you like I do
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised they'll take back everything they said
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white
And the new low's a high
Like the ticking of the time
You'll be mine
Don't be surprised at all
Don't be surprised when all your days are yesterdays
Don't be surprised at all
When the new black is white

Come All Ye Faithful
Come all ye faithful and shine a light on
And shine a light on, and shine a light on me
Come all ye faithful
You holy rollers and shine a light on me
When I said I loved you well I lied
I never really loved you I was laughing at you all the time
When I said I needed you I lied
I never needed anyone I laughed until I cried
Come all ye playboys, you saints and sinners
And watch it rain on, and watch it rain on me
Come all ye playboys, you druggy mothers
And watch it rain on me
When I said I loved you well I lied
I never really loved you I was laughing at you all the time
When I said I needed you I lied
I never needed anyone I laughed until I cried
Come all ye faithful you holy rollers
And shine a light on, and shine a light on me
Come all ye playboys you druggy mothers
And shine a light on me

Ash Wednesday
It might be broken
And love lies murdered
Were those her footsteps
I thought I heard or
Just the rainfall
Against a window
The same old song, so
Play it slowly
It's like a party
But no one came, it's
All a mess and
Who's to blame, it's
Some of me and
Some of you
All tied in knots and
Broken too, some
Celebration should be in order
Let's raise a glass, let's all applaud the
Party pills, your silent song, the
Ghosts of shadows
That you've become, it
Might be broken
And love lies murdered
The devil's footsteps
Upon the stairs
It's four AM some
Sunday morning
I'm full of empty
The cats are yawning
A cast of plenty
Hired for the scenes and
Is it real? What we believed in?
Might be broken
And love lies murdered
Were those her footsteps
I thought I heard or
Just the rainfall
Against the window?
The same old song, so play it slowly
So close your crazy eyes
And sing yourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your words don't mean a thing
So close your crazy eyes
And sing yourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your words don't mean a thing
So close your crazy eyes
And sing ourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your lies don't mean a thing
And love lies murdered
Were those her footsteps
I thought I heard or
Just the rainfall
Against a window
The same old song, so
Play it slowly
It's like a party
But no one came, it's
All a mess and
Who's to blame, it's
Some of me and
Some of you
All tied in knots and
Broken too, some
Celebration should be in order
Let's raise a glass, let's all applaud the
Party pills, your silent song, the
Ghosts of shadows

And love lies murdered

The cats are yawning
A cast of plenty
Hired for the scenes and
Is it real? What we believed in?
Might be broken
And love lies murdered
Were those her footsteps
I thought I heard or
Just the rainfall
Against the window?
The same old song, so play it slowly
So close your crazy eyes
And sing yourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your words don't mean a thing
So close your crazy eyes
And sing yourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your words don't mean a thing
So close your crazy eyes
And sing ourself to sleep
And shut your crazy mouth
Your lies don't mean a thing

Wrong Train
I took the wrong train
Ate all the wrong pills
I took a cell phone
To call my voice mail
I took the wrong train
Got off the wrong town
They beat their kids up
Somewhere suburban
And I'm never coming home again
We can't agree on anything
And where the hell are all my friends?
I need you right now
I ran the wrong light
Got in a car crash
A wife that hates me
So does her boyfriend
Well, I'm never coming home again
We can't agree on anything
And where the hell are all my friends?
I need you right now
I took the wrong train
Got off the wrong town
They beat their kids up
Somewhere suburban
I'm never coming home again
We can't agree on anything
And where the hell are all my friends?
I need you
I'm never coming home again
We can't agree on anything
And where the hell are all my friends?
I need you right now
Tell me things you used to do
I'll pretend you wanted to
We wear these little things away and
In the end, there's nothing left to say
Ate all the wrong pills
I took a cell phone
To call my voice mail
I took the wrong train
Got off the wrong town
They beat their kids up
Somewhere suburban
And I'm never coming home again
We can't agree on anything
And where the hell are all my friends?

Dont Believe
Money's got the medicine
You can't believe in anything
I wanted what I've never had
You get it then it's gone again
You wonder where the weather went
You're sucking on a cigarette
And hell here comes the rain again
And heaven isn't heaven sent
I don't believe
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe you
Don't believe it's true
Life is short and God is gold
Promises are bought and sold
And everything I never said
Comes crashing on my tiny head
Nothing down here's ever free
The same sun shines on you and me
And give me all your chemistry
And don't believe it honestly
I don't believe
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe you
Don't believe it's true
Money's got the medicine
You can't believe in anything
I wanted what I've never had
You get it then it's gone again
Life is short and God is gold
Promises are bought and sold
Everything I never said
Comes crashing on my tiny head
I don't believe (sucking on a cigarette)
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe you (here comes the rain again)
Don't believe it's true
I don't believe (promises are bought and sold)
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe you (crashing on my tiny head)
Don't believe it's true
I don't believe (can't believe in anything)
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe you (sucking on a cigarette)
Don't believe it's true
I don't believe
I don't believe you don't believe me
I don't believe
You can't believe in anything

Made of Rain is the eighth studio album from English rock band The Psychedelic Furs. Released via Cooking Vinyl on 31 July 2020, it is the first studio album from the band in almost 30 years and has received positive reviews.
When the band reunited in 2000, they had intended on recording new material but principal songwriter Richard Butler did not feel confident in any newly written songs until six months before prior to the sessions for Made of Rain. It is the first studio release by the group since 1991's World Outside and was preceded by lead single "Don't Believe" on 31 January 2020.
The album was initially scheduled to be released on 1 May, but was delayed until 31 July due to logistical issues stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic. The album is the band's first with members Rich Good (formerly of The Pleased, who joined in 2009) and Amanda Kramer (formerly of Information Society, who joined in 2002).
