Into You Like A Train
The Psychedelic Furs Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don't want to make no scene
Lovers come and go, or make you Mrs.
Anyone or make you Mr.
Me.
I'm into you like a train.
Yeah,
I don't want to tape you down or shack you up with me,
Or put you where the flowers go or get into your mind.
I'm into you like a train.
Now fall in love.
Yeah,
Fall in love.
If you believe that anyone like me within a song is outside it all,
Then you are all so wrong.
If you believe that anyone like me within a song would try and change it all,
Then you have been put on.
I don't want to wear no side or complicate it all,
Or celebrate your prettiness and kick you in it all.
So wrong.
The lyrics of The Psychedelic Furs's song Into You Like A Train depict the singer's fear of commitment in a romantic relationship. The opening lines, "No kind of love / I don't want to make no scene" suggest that the singer is not interested in a serious or intense relationship that may require a lot of effort or drama. The lines "Lovers come and go, or make you Mrs. / Anyone or make you Mr. / Me" further emphasize the singer's reluctance to commit to a label or role in the relationship.
However, despite this fear of commitment, the singer is drawn to their love interest and is "into you like a train". This line suggests an intense and unstoppable attraction towards the other person. The repetition of the phrase "fall in love" also implies that the singer wants to take the relationship to a deeper level, but is hesitant to do so. In the lines "I don't want to tape you down or shack you up with me / Or put you where the flowers go or get into your mind", the singer is expressing their desire to not control or manipulate their partner in any way, but rather enjoy the attraction for what it is.
Towards the end of the song, there is a sense of defensiveness in the lyrics. The lines "If you believe that anyone like me within a song is outside it all / Then you are all so wrong / If you believe that anyone like me within a song would try and change it all / Then you have been put on" suggest that the singer is aware of societal expectations and stereotypes of love and relationships, but is rejecting them. The final lines "I don't want to wear no side or complicate it all / Or celebrate your prettiness and kick you in it all / So wrong" further emphasize the singer's desire to keep the relationship simple and not fall into societal norms or stereotypes.

Their first two albums define an era, flawlessly.

This song just possesses me. Because I'm manic this song just fits my energy level. Just keeps coming in waves ... never relents. What I love about it is that it comes at you just like a locomotive, yet it swirls around like a roller coaster and is deeply romantic. What a train ride!

Saw them last night. Unlike other favorites from the era, they haven't lost a step. One of the best performances I've attended.
@ClueSign
Lots of new personnel since the original but Butler still rules.
@spiritof6663
I just saw them tonight, and I gotta say that four years after your original post, they STILL haven't lost a step. Brilliant show from start to finish.
@patricecatanio901
Sounds as good now as the first time I heard it. God I love this band. Seeing them in a couple of weeks!
