Should the World Fail to Fall Apart is the debut album by the British solo artist Peter Murphy, formerly of the gothic rock band Bauhaus.[4][5] The album contains Murphy's covers of Magazine's "The Light Pours Out of Me" and Pere Ubu's "Final Solution."[6] It was released in 1986.[7]
Many guest musicians appear on the album, including Howard Hughes and John McGeoch.[8]
