Psychedelic Furs - Imitation of Christ

[link] Felt like doing a bit of a Furs retrospective, so here is what I think is the most accomplished song off their 1980 debut album. They are considered to be of the post-punk period and Wikipedia says they are art-rock (worth a future investigation of this genre).  The punk edge is there in a couple of ways: Richard Butler's voice and the punkish melody line and lyrical arrangement. Their future high pop accomplishments are foreshadowed here.  On this album they are still getting their chops; like a good punk band, talent with instruments was not something they started with. But their songwriting and atmospheric strengths are clearly apparent throughout this song and the album as a whole.
