Behind the Songs: All Of The Law

A selection of quotes from The Psychedelic Furs on the song "All Of The Law."


Richard Butler: "It's funny, but 'All Of The Law' was one which didn't work as well live as we wanted it to. It works well on record, but we've had to cut it down for the stage show. There's something not quite clicking right with it." (Rock Express 1987)


John Ashton: "The others had gone to dinner. Paul Garisto and myself were messing around. I started the riff. The others returned, the tape was rolling. The most spontaneous moment I can recall on the whole project. Live, the song was always kicking. Always well received, especially in the Midwest!" (Should God Forget liner notes, 1997)


Tim Butler: "We were avoiding songs from the Midnight To Midnight album except of course the 'Heartbreak Beat' for quite some time. On this tour, we have dusted off 'Angels Don't Cry' and 'All Of The Law'. (Equality 365 2016)


Tim Butler: "We were listening to Midnight To Midnight recently and we haven't played those songs in recent years. 'All Of The Law' and 'Angels Don't Cry' have made their way back into our repertoire [for the 2016 tour]." (Orlando Weekly 2016)
