Furniture - A Plot to Kill What Was

Copied!

Uneasy times, all give, no take
Sinking feelin's when you wake
A mess of innocence and tack
None of this comes flooding back

Your year of jazz and blinding light
Is a world away from yesternight
A sleepless one, so petrified
Avoiding eyes, a void inside

There is a plot to kill what was
File away the wonderful
Smother all the woe
Total recall of the perfect moments
And let the others go

The times they didn't like your gifts
The rows that weren't just lovers' tiffs
Days you felt alone but oh so good
Things they never understood

The times you gave the rules a rest
When they put you to the test
Frustrated if you don't get through
Feeling guilty when you do

There is a plot to kill what was
Separate the sunsets
Banish all the cloud
It never rained in your perfect romance
At least, that's how it looks now

And it's easy to distort what used to be
It's so easy to start your own conspiracy

There is a plot to kill what was
Separate the sunsets
Banish all the cloud
It never rained in your perfect romance
At least, that's how it looks now
That's how it looks now
That's how it looks, now
That's how it looks now
I said that's how it looks now

edit bio

Furniture is a British indie pop band that was formed in 1979 in London. The band was originally a quartet consisting of Jim Irvin (vocals, guitar), Tim Whelan (keyboards), Hamilton Lee (drums), and Maya Gilder (bass). They quickly gained a following in the London music scene with their melodic pop songs and catchy hooks.

Furniture released their debut single, "Why Are We In Love?" in 1981 and followed it up with their first album, "The Wrong People" in 1983. The album received critical acclaim and established the band as one of the leading acts in the UK indie music scene.

Over the years, Furniture went through several lineup changes and released a string of albums and singles that showcased their eclectic sound and songwriting skills. Their music was characterized by lush arrangements, poetic lyrics, and a blend of alternative rock, new wave, and post-punk influences.

Despite not achieving mainstream success, Furniture continued to be a cult favorite among music fans and critics. They disbanded in the late 1980s but reunited briefly in the early 2000s for a series of live shows and festival appearances.

Today, Furniture is remembered as one of the pioneering indie bands of the 1980s, with their music still cherished by fans of alternative pop and post-punk. Their influence can be heard in the music of contemporary indie bands, and their legacy continues to inspire new generations of musicians.
