The band were originally known as (The) Pride, before they changed their line-up and became known as Snowfield, becoming a popular unsigned band. They remained with this name until they signed with Kitchenware Records in September 2004. The band's debut single Bullets was released as a limited edition of 500 on Kitchenware Records on January 24, 2005; it quickly gained support from radio stations such as Xfm and BBC 6 Music - where it was the single of the week.
Their debut album, The Back Room, was released on 25 July 2005, to critical acclaim. The band toured out most of 2005, including two jaunts with We Are Scientists. However, after a pivotal support slot on Franz Ferdinand's Arena tour at the end of 2005, it was the re-release of single Munich in January 2006 that propelled them into the top 10 of the UK single's chart. The following May, Editors played three sell-out shows at London's Brixton Academy, and countless gigs worldwide. The album has now sold over 500,000 units.
In June 2007 Editors released a second album, An End has a Start which included the single Smokers Outside The Hospital Doors. This first track was released on June 18th 2007 in the UK, and June 26th in the US, however it was leaked onto the Internet earlier. The album's title track, An End Has A Start was released on September 3rd, The Racing Rats on November 26th, 2007. Following a landmark appearence on The Other Stage at the Glastonbury festival, the album entered at number 1 in the UK album chart.
'In this Light And On This Evening', the third studio album, was released on October 12th 2009. With the heavy synthesizer sound and industrial ring, the album differed immensely from the earlier work of the band. Tom explained this change as a way for the band to try something completely different. Papillon, the first single, was followed by You Don't Know Love. The third single was Eat Raw Meat = Blood Drool. The album was inspired by the city of London, both lyrically as musically and debuted at number 1 in the UK album charts.
On April 16th 2012, during the recording of their fourth studio album with producer Flood, Editors announced that Chris Urbanowicz (guitar) was leaving the band basing the decision entirely upon the band's future musical direction.
‘The Weight Of Your Love’, their fourth studio LP, was released on July 2013. It was preceded by the single 'A ton of love, released in May. This is also the first album to feature new band members Justin Lockey and Elliott Williams. It was recorded at Blackbird Studio in Nashville with producer Jacquire King and mixed by Craig Silvey.

Fingers In The Factories
Editors Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Is how we like this
Keep us in our place
You're the night, the dirty night, that keeps us going
Nothing left to waste
Pull a sentence from your lips to keep them quiet
What they want to hear
Ah you're the night, the dirty night that keeps us going
As the sun goes down on a broken town
And the fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the side
Of the ones you love and the ones in love
And you
Keep with me, keep with me, keep with me, keep with me
Smile for once, for a moment it makes us happy
What we need is here
You're the night, the dirty night, you make us angry
There's everything to fear
As the sun goes down on a broken town
And the fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the side
Of the ones you love and the ones in love
And you
Keep with me, keep with me, keep with me, keep with me
As the sun goes down on a broken town
And the fingers bleed in the factories
Come on out tonight, come and see the side
Of the ones you love and the ones in love
And you
Keep with me, keep with me, keep with me, keep with me
Keep with me, keep with me, keep with me, keep with me
The lyrics of Editors' song "Fingers In The Factories" are about the harsh reality of life in an industrial, broken-down city. The imagery of "fingers bleed in the factories" is a powerful representation of the toll that this type of work takes on those who are forced to do it. The line "keep us in our place" suggests a feeling of being trapped and helpless, with no way out of the struggle for survival. The chorus provides a sense of community and togetherness in the face of these difficulties, with the repeated "keep with me" serving as a rallying cry for solidarity.
The song captures the overall sense of despair and desperation that can come from living in a place where the odds are stacked against you. Despite the difficulties, there is a certain pride in fighting to survive and stick together, and the song's final lines offer a glimmer of hope for a better future.

Easy said and easy done
We prefer things to be simple and straightforward
Is how we like this
That's how we prefer things to be
Keep us in our place
We want to be controlled and subdued
You're the night, the dirty night, that keeps us going
You're the source of our excitement and motivation
Nothing left to waste
All resources have been depleted or utilized already
Pull a sentence from your lips to keep them quiet
Say something to pacify and silence someone
What they want to hear
Say something that appeals to their desires or beliefs
Ah you're the night, the dirty night that keeps us going
You're the source of our excitement and motivation
No-one left to fear
There's no one remaining to be afraid of or intimidated by
As the sun goes down on a broken town
The end of the day brings darkness to a struggling, dysfunctional community
And the fingers bleed in the factories
Workers suffer from industrial injuries such as cuts and wounds in their hands
Come on out tonight, come and see the side
Join us for an experience that will show you something new about ourselves
Of the ones you love and the ones in love
People we care for and those who love them
And you
And you are invited
Keep with me, keep with me, keep with me, keep with me
Stay close to me, don't let go
Smile for once, for a moment it makes us happy
We find joy in simple pleasures like brief moments of happiness
What we need is here
We have everything we require
You're the night, the dirty night, you make us angry
You're also the source of our resentment and frustration
There's everything to fear
We have ample reasons to be worried or scared
