Lyric discussion by FolsomFred 

Cover art for Shock lyrics by Psychedelic Furs, The

I love the Furs but this is a truly wretched song. Butler must have come up with the lyrics while sitting on the toilet, it's that bad. Here are my thoughts -- it's an ode to S&M love. Really, that's about it. <<They got a new word For what we do When the lights get low>> ok... <<I feel shock When the lights get low>> Feeling disgusted with himself for his violent fetish. Feeling disgusted with myself for bothering with this subpar song.
