This is probably my favorite Peter Murphy song. The vocals are outstanding, the lyrics so idealic and hopeful, and that backing violin so beautifully played. God, it almost melts me every time I hear it.
This song is the best finale for such a strong album as "Holy Smoke" is. In fact that album is very sensual, many songs are about intimacy and passion.
Walking in the street Breath the only friend Strangers pass me by I'm moving, moving with the wind Inside me now, the gold The gold at rainbow's end Stranger to myself, a stranger Stranger till the end Behind the closed door The one we painted green To remind me of the perfect plan Wash my face in fields of green Take me to the stars for free Point me to the high wire call Wake me true and wake me all Walk me in the streets Take me, to a view on high To an empire state Tease, tease and bake me dry Swerve and turn on me Melt me, melt me to the wall Like an unspent fortune, I'm running Running with the call Behind the closed door The one we painted green To remind me of a perfect plan Wash my face In fields of green Take me to the stars for free Point me to the high wire call Wake me true and wake me all
This is how I found his music. I went to the CD place to buy Paul Weller and came out with Peter Murphy. Why? Robocop that's why!! You might see where this is going. Peter Weller played Murphy in Robocop. Throw those names in a hat to someone who isn't concentrating properly and you pull out Peter Murphy! Very glad I did too. I did go back and buy Paul Weller the next day!!
What a completely hilarious way to stumble across Peter Murphy! Hopefully you'll go back through his career and 'discover' that you're also a fan of Bauhaus. Great comment!

That exactly happened to me the first time I saw him in the video Cuts You Up. I was caught by his wonderful eyes and gaze. His eyes are rather bewitching I would say. And his voice is absolutely amazing!!!! A pleasure to listen to.
Yes he's influenced by Bowie and Iggy. Everyone's influenced by someone. Bowie was influenced by Lou Reed. No doubt there are some bands who were influenced by Bauhaus. And so it goes on. Art influences art, music influences music. Amen.
I've always been a "Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Fan" but needed a change.....And then I heard "Bauhaus"..!!!!!!! "Peter Murphy changed my Musical Life and now I'm a Fan 4 Life"..!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Did the Cranberries get the gold body paint idea for Zombie from Peter? And I feel like Radiohead did a video with a similar aesthetic singing to the camera as well?

Talk about sex on legs. I love when he breaks into the falsetto tones at the end. I ALMOST docked major points when I found out he was going to be in flippping frigging nausea-inducing Twilight, but then I saw a clip online of his character and practically fainted over how deliciously, evilly gorgeous he was.
I've loved Peter Murphy since the beginning of Bauhaus but his panomiming (Lipsyncing) is so emotionless compared to his passionate singing. In all his videos, he fails to convey visually as he does audibly. Sorry. Truth.

my love

Ll lol ppppppppppppppppppllllllllllpllpppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp
Always one of my favorites of all time. Transcendant. Transporting. Beautiful.
He could have had a career as a Neil Diamond hit singer. Amazing.
Peter Murphy....just takes me somewhere else, and I gladly go with him 😀
+Phillip Collins why do I need to calm down?
What it feels like to experience Peter Murphys music and voice is something I will cherish FOREVER... it's unexplainable
Beautiful. I can listen to this song forever. I almost forgot about it.

Walking in the street
Breath the only friend
Strangers pass me by
I'm moving, moving with the wind
Inside me now, the gold
The gold at rainbow's end
Stranger to myself, a stranger
Stranger till the end
Behind the closed door
The one we painted green
To remind me of the perfect plan
Wash my face in fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all
Walk me in the streets
Take me, to a view on high
To an empire state
Tease, tease and bake me dry
Swerve and turn on me
Melt me, melt me to the wall
Like an unspent fortune, I'm running
Running with the call
Behind the closed door
The one we painted green
To remind me of a perfect plan
Wash my face
In fields of green
Take me to the stars for free
Point me to the high wire call
Wake me true and wake me all
Thanks, i didnt knew all the lirycs 🤦♂️😋😉
What a bunch of blithering bullshit
These are not your thoughts. It's plagiarism to post as your own. Commenting on a line here and there is different.
I could not love this more

Peter Murphy and Matt Mahurin worked so well together.
My fav. music video director! Also did All Night Long and The Scarlet Thing In You. He (Matt) can do no wrong in my eyes.
I've always been a "Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Fan" but needed a change.....And then I heard "Bauhaus"..!!!!!!!
"Peter Murphy changed my Musical Life and now I'm a Fan 4 Life"..!!! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Bauhaus is hard rock as well, darker and heavier. An amazing band!

Nobody can deny the David Bowie connection
I can.
@@clvrswine Lmao Peter was always vocal about being a big Bowie fan and takes so much inspiration from Ziggy u literally cant deny it
