Song Lyrics (Burn by The Cure)

Just like heaven will *always* be the best song ever made (altho Three Libra's by APC comes in a kinda/sorta but not so distant second)
Am I the only cure fan who doesn't shoot a load over disentigration?
Love Cats
(my third fave cure song, after JLH and BDC)
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and
Throw all the songs we know
Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats
We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream
Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this
I love you ... let's go
Oh ... solid gone ...
How could we miss someone as dumb
As this?
-Spencer
 
oh minimows i love how you described that bit about disintegration...so true....
and yet another song from one of my personal favorite albums....
give me your eyes
that i might see the blind man kissing my hands
the sun is humming
my head turns to dust as he plays on his knees
and the sand
and the sea growsd
i close my eyes
move slowly through the drowning waves
going away on a strange day
and i laugh as i drift in the wind
blind
dancing on a beach of stone
cherish the faces as they wait for the end
a sudden hush across the water
and we're here again
and the sand
and the sea grows
i close my eyes
move slowly through the drowning waves
going away
on a strange day
my head falls back
and the walls crash down
and the sky
and the impossible
explode
held for a moment, i remember a song
an impression of sound
then everything is gone
forever
a strange day
------------------
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
-the cure

fuck yeah, girl! pornography is absolutely without a doubt my favorite cure album.
spencer: i don't shoot a load over disintegration, but if i had a cock, i probably would.
smile.gif
it's the words to the song and meaning beneath them. maybe it's all because i've lived that song a bunch of times.
there are some cure songs i don't really like, but i'll never tell which they are.*
here's a happy one - since it's friday.
no, not friday i'm in love. (*
wink.gif
)
Halo
I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and I'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning
I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and I'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all this
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything
I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head all full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever
I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

oh halo..such a sweet song...i searched for that song for like 2 years..do you know how hard it is to find the "friday i'm in love" single nowdays??? well i would love to post another favorite song but seeing as it's friday and all i need to go take a nap because i'm gonna up till dawn....
here's a snippet from a beautiful song with beautiful lyrics:
then an angel would come
with burning eyes like stars
and bury us deep
in his velvet arms....
hey between minimows, spencer and myself i think we could keep this thread going forever...
------------------
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
-the cure
 
My contribution for today,a song containing one of the most powerful lyrics ever written, which I will bold.
now i must listen to it...
From the edge of the deep green sea
Every time we do this
I fall for her
Wave after wave after wave
It's all for her
"I know this can't be wrong" I say
(And I'll lie to keep her happy)
"As long as I know that you know
That today I belong
Right here with you
Right here with you..."
And so we watch the sun come up
From the edge of the deep green sea
And she listens like her head's on fire
Like she wants to believe in me
So I try
Put your hands in the sky
Surrender
Remember
We'll be here forever
And we'll never say goodbye...
I've never been so
Colorfully-see-through-head before
I've never been so
Wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
And all I want is to keep you like this
You and me alone
A secret kiss
And don't go home
Don't go away
Don't let this end
Please stay
Not just for today
"Never never never never
Never let me go"
She says
"Hold me like this
For a hundred thousand million days"
But suddenly she slows
And looks down at my breaking face
Why do you cry? What did I say?
But it's just rain I smile
Brushing my tears away...
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment
Will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried over you
How much more can we use it up?
Drink it dry?
Take this drug?
Looking for something forever gone
But something
We will always want?
"Why why why are you letting me go?"
She says
I feel you pulling back
I feel you changing shape...
And just as I'm breaking free
She hangs herself in front of me
Slips her dress
Like a flag to the floor
And hands in the sky
Surrenders it all...
I wish I could just stop
I know another moment
Will break my heart
Too many tears
Too many times
Too many years I've cried over you
It's always the same
Wake up in the rain
Head in pain
Hung in shame
A different name
Same old game
Love in vain
And miles and miles and miles and miles
And miles away from home again...

#5 on the list...
Strange attraction
It started with a dedication
"Lost in admiration -
Happy birthday -
I'm forever yours - Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny
Book of butterflies
I smiled surprised at how
When flickered through
The wings flew by
Spelled out my name...
Six months went by the summer lost
Obsessively the letters
Dropped into my life
The same soft blood smooth
Flowing hand
"Please try to understand -
I have to see you -
Have to feel you - Tell you all the ways
I need you - Yours forever in love..."
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how
Anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
The year grew old incessantly
She wrote to me
She'd started smoking poetry!
I laughed in recognition
Of a favourite phrase
She'd pulled me in...
I answered her
A Christmas card in sepia
Arranging when and where
And how the two of us should meet...
Her opening so well prepared
A nervous smile
I couldn't take my eyes from her
She whispered
"Can I use some of your lipstick?"
It was perfect so believable
I couldn't help but feel that it was real
And kissing crimson
Fell into her waiting arms...
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how
Anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
You never know how anything will fade
So alone into the cold new year
Without another word from her
I wrote to ask if we could
Maybe meet again before the spring
But weeks went by with no reply
Until once more my birthday came
And with it my surprise
But this time nothing was the same...
"I'm sorry - blame infatuation -
Blame imagination - I was sure
You'd be the one but I was wrong -
It seems reality destroys our dreams -
I won't forget you - Blossom"
Faded red inside a tiny book
Of old goodbyes...
Strange attraction spreads its wings
It varies but the smallest things
You never know how
Anything will change
Strange attraction spreads its wings
And alters but the smallest things
And you never know...

Hello image
Sing me a line from your favourite song
Twist and turn
But you're trapped in the light
All the directions were wrong
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Tonight
Help yourself
But tell me the words
Before you fade away
You reveal all the secrets
To remember the end
And escape someday
You'll fall in love with somebody else
Again tonight
Take a step
You move in time
But it's always back...
The reasons are clear
Your face is drawn
And ready for the next attack
 
damn you minimows!!! you stole my next post!
smile.gif
i saw them last year for the dream tour and the second encore began with that song, i almost had a heart attack and died right there because i never would have thought they would bust out with such and old, obscure, beautiful song...it was amazing! i notice no one has posted anything from their latest(and supposedly last) album, just wondering what you guys think of it??? i think the whole album feels a little too hopeless, like robert is just giving up on everything now that he is getting older..don't get me wrong it's a beautiful album..but like "disintegration" and "pornography" are dark,haunting, melancholy albums...this one just kind of pathetic and hopleless...i really only listen to it when i am curled up, alone in my bedroom getting myself high off of a good depression.....
------------------
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
-the cure
 
a-ha. the lady requests something newer.
this is my fav song off of bloodflowers. musically, this album was much more refined and solid than any other cure album. however, i like the older, more raw cure stuff the best. the following song is the best overall song on the album. the diving words, the long guitar intro, the hopelessness - 100% pure cure.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Last Day of Summer
Nothing i am
Nothing i dream
Nothing is new
Nothing i think
Or believe in or say
Nothing is true
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
All that i have
All that i hold
All that...is wrong
All that i feel for
Or trust in or love
All that is...gone
It used to be so easy
I never even tried
Yeah it used to be so easy
But the last day of summer
Never felt so cold
The last day of summer
Never felt so old
The last day of summer
Never felt so cold
I never felt so alone
 
I thought bloodflowers was good, but as it came out when I was in a "happy place", I never listened to it much. However, I *love* "maybe someday". I know it was the single and blah blah, but it's still an awesome song.
Maybe Someday
No I won't do it again, I don't want to pretend
If it can't be like before I've got it let end
I don't want what I was, I had a change of head
But maybe someday...
Yeah, maybe someday
I've got to let it go and leave it gone
Just walk away, stop it going on
Get too scared to jump if I want too long
But maybe someday
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...again!
So tell me someday's come
Tell me some days come again...
No I won't do it some more, it doesn't make any sense
If it can't be like it was, I've got to let it rest
I don't want what I did, I had a change of tense
But maybe someday...
I'll see you smile as you call my name
Start to feel, and it feels the same
And I know that maybe someday's come
Maybe someday's come...
If I could do it again
Maybe just once more
Think I could make it work like it did before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someady is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Oh maybe someday is when it all stops
Or maybe someday always comes again...
 
..i could keep this thread going forever and ever and ever.....
if you get the chance, try listening to this song while rolling, the into and the way the music comes in...omg...it was the most beautiful thing i had ever heard....
"i think it's dark
and it looks like rain"
you said
"and the wind is blowing
like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold
it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smile
for a second
"i think i'm old
and i'm feeling pain"
you said
"and it's all running out
like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold
it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled
for a second
sometimes you make me feel
like i'm living at the edge of the world
like i'm living at the edge of the world
"it's just the way i smile"
you said....
 
whats that one called? (no, i cant name every cure song just by reading the lyrics.. sue me...)

it's "plainsong", the first track on disintegration.
bliss...i was on two pills last year when i saw the cure (although now i wish i would have gone sober). anyway...when they began plainsong, it sounded like i was in fucking church!!! it seemed like me, my friend and the band were the only ones on the face of earth at that moment.
holy shit, i'm tearing up and getting goosebumps right now. thanks for that memory!!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
here's one that makes me wanna do bad things....
One Hundred Years
It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time
A story on the radio...
Something small falls out of your mouth
And we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer
For something better
Please love me
Meet my mother...
But the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on the television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?
She struggles to get away...
The pain
And the creeping feeling
A little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday
The death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me
And turn me round
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Caressing an old man
And painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance
Under a black flag
A hundred years of blood
Crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth
And my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over
We die one after the other
Over and over
We die one after the other after the other...
It feels like a hundred years
One hundred years...

ooohhh minimows you lucky girl....you see when i saw the cure(my first and only time, last year the dream tour) i was at that stage where the only place i knew how to get pills was from some shady character leaning against a wall at a rave shouting out to passerbyers "x" and "doses". i remember thinking how amazing it would be to roll there...but honestly i didn't need to roll to feel ecstacy that night...the first two songs i stood frozen, speechless, my mouth gaping open poking my now ex-boyfriend every now and then saying "that's robert smith...robert smith is before my very eyes...omg...that's really him...." then i snapped out of it and proceeded to dance and sing my heart out to every song....
ok. my contribution for the day:
"chain of flowers"
(giving the title for spencer
smile.gif
)
please wake up
it's so dark and cold
please wake up
i feel so alone
and i feel so scared
that you're going away
and i feel so scared...
all i want is summer
stories from before
just like the day you tried to hide
behind the churchyard wall
and i fell asleep before i came
i found you
in a chain of flowers
sleeping like a marble girl(my fave line!)
sleeping in another world...
i'll never tell you
of all the different ways
you make me so afraid....
hey spencer(i think it was you that i recall loved tori)...have you heard tori amos cover lovesong??? i normally HATE cure covers but this one is beeeutiful.....oh and one more thing...were you at edc???
 
i was wondering why this thread had became so long, and now i know
smile.gif
reading it has so made me smile. my first real experience with falling in love happened with a guy that loved the cure, and shared that with me. every stage of our relationship could be explained with a song, and i gained so much within those years--i never knew that emotions could run, or be expressed so deeply. your bliss, you posted plainsong...that was the first cure song i ever really listened to, laying with my first true love, on a starry winter night--knowing that the only expectation he had was to be loved in return
smile.gif

you just made me smile, and i just wanted you to know this
smile.gif
 
oh fizzygirl! i am so glad i made you smile!
smile.gif
(i always use that face cuz that is the only one i know how to do!) that really makes me feel good. the cure is an amazing band, with amazing, beautiful lyrics. i can relate sooooo many different stages of my life to different cure songs and albums. as much as i love trance music...if i had to choose 1 thing to listen to for the rest of my life...well it would be the cure......
------------------
how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something
we will always want?
-the cure
 
what a super fucking friday!!!
smile.gif

when i had my belly pierced in march, the guy at the piercing place asked if had any musical requests. i said "anything by the cure". he replied "okay, you asked for it". i heard him back there digging through his cds - and the whole time i was thinking that he'd play something predictable like one of the more popular songs.
just as the piercer guy was sticking the needle in my abdomen, chain of flowers began. i almost dropped dead.
THANK YOU!
fizzygirl: hope things are going better for you. here's a happier song to get us all in cheer mode for the weekend!
xoxox.barbie
the sun is up
i'm so happy i could scream
and there's nowhere else in the world i'd rather be
than here with you
it's perfect
it's all i ever wanted
almost can't believe that it's for real
i really don't think it gets any better than this
vanilla smile
and a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
birds sing we swing
clouds shift by and everything is like a dream
it's everything i wished...
never guessed it got this good
wondered if it ever would
really didn't think it could
do it again?
i know we should!
the sun is up
i'm so fizzy i could burst!
you wet through and me headfirst
into this it's perfect
it's all i ever wanted
ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!
never guessed it got this good
wondered if it ever would
really didn't think it could
do it some more?
i know we should!
say it will always be like this
the two of us together
and we'll alway be like this
forever and ever and ever
never guessed it got this good
wondered if it ever would
really didn't think it could
do it all the time?
i know that we should!!!
 
gggrrrr...happy fucking friday! so bliss is pissed(that rhymes
smile.gif
)i come home to find out juju beats(this big rave) has been cancelled for next week, my usual friday night plans have gotten fucked up, and my roomates are having "boys night" in hollywood so i can't even go with them....oh well i've always got bluelight and the cure, and the new mystre(of mars & mystre) cd i bought today...so here's a song for me...
10:15
(7:00)
saturday night
(friday evening)
and the tap drips
under the striplight
and i'm sitting
in the kitchen sink
and the tap drips
drip,drip,drip,drip,drip,drip...
waiting
for the telephone to ring
and i'm wondering
where she's been
and i'm crying
for yesterday
and the tap drips
drip drip drip drip drip drip...
it's always the same....
 
wow- this post gave me the chills last night... i hadn't played too much of the cure for some time.
...listening to Show this evening- with an incredible guy who had probably never appreciated the band much before- had an almost magical aspect that is rarely equalled.
so yeah, the lyrics i'm going to post tonight can be nothing other than...
Friday I'm in Love
I don't care if monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and wednesday too
Thursday i don't care about you
It's friday i'm in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's friday i'm in love
Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...
I don't care if monday's black
Tuesday wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's friday i'm in love
Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday wednesday stay in bed
Or thursday watch the walls instead
It's friday i'm in love
Saturday wait
And sunday always comes too late
But friday never hesitate...
Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's friday
I'm in love
 
I think bliss needs a little "Mint Car"
the sun is up
i'm so happy i could scream!
and there's nowhere else in the world i'd rather be
than here with you
it's perfect
it's all i ever wanted
i almost can't believe that it's for real
i really don't think it gets any better than this
vanilla smile
and a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
birds sing we swing
clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
it's everything i wished
never guessed it got this good
wondered if it ever would
really didn't think it could
do it again?
i know we should!!!
