Furniture - Monuments

Copied!

Raised iron to rust
Monuments ache
They're coming apart
But we're still the same
Monuments torn
Voices will chime
The ghosts of our scorn
Remembered in rhyme
As they wander new halls
Away, away
Give up your reasons
To stay, to stay
Feel nothing
Because, because
What makes a man
Is his worth, his worth
In finality when we leave
The monuments we build will grieve
Counting down the days
Distant rumbling engines sigh
Whispered neon lullabies
The city sleeps as it waits for you
Counting down the days
14 billion cycles deep
Stars are born and stars perish
The best laid plans might not wait for you
Oh what a change can a day make?
How else to live a life when someday it will end?
Oh make a change before the day breaks
Take time to realise truth is its own defence

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.
