Song Lyrics (Burn by The Cure)

[MiNiMoWs]

Closedown
I'm running out of time
I'm out of step and
Closing down and
Never sleep for wanting hours
The empty hours of greed
And uselessly
Always the need
To feel again the real belief
Of something more than mockery
If only I could
Fill my heart with love

of course...it would be minimows to bring this thread back...yeah! so i must admit i did not read through all the threads to see if this had been posted already BUT it's a good song and it fits my thurday-evening-anticipating-what-will-come-tomorrow-night train of thought i'm stuck in...
It's not a case of doing
what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong
I don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand ...
You say it's not fair
You expect me to act
Like a lover
Consider my moves
And deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms
And wait
And wait
And wait
For something to happen
It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
Call me a liar
You would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part
In the play for today
...so sorry for not bumping this thread more, will try to do so from now on....

last night, i was driving home from work at 6:30pm. pitch dark outside. 99% full moon. i have about a 30 minute commute heading east. i popped in pornography. sang every word to every song. kept checking out the moon. rolled my window down and couldn't believe how mild the evening was for october 30th in colorado (i almost wanted to smoke, but i quit awhile ago and i didn't have any in my car). my hair was all pulled up, but by bangs fell heavily over my face (just like my teenage goth haircut). i wore a black suit to work. i can't remember the last time i felt so comfortable, so real, so "this is who i am".
i'm a girl who loves fall, as i find beauty in death.
i'm a girl who feels like halloween is held in much higher regard now because of the things i discovered about myself over a decade ago.
i'm a girl who finds black sexy, mysterious, and classy.
i'm a girl who is 29 years old and can remember - a clear as yesterday - what it felt like to be labeled as a freak at age 15.
i'm a girl who has always and will always have a cure song to match my mood.
i'm a girl who is as perfectly normal as a freak can be.

A Short Term Effect
Movement
No movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground
He lived and died...
Catch sight
Cover me with earth
Draped in black
Static
White sound
A day without substance
A change of thought
An atmosphere that rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
Scream!
As she tries to push him over
Helpless and sick
With teeth of madness
Jump jump dance and sing
Sideways across the desert
A charcoal face
Bites my hand
Time is sweet
Derange and disengage everything
A day without substance
A change of thought
The atmosphere rots with time
Colours that flicker in water
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect
An echo
And a stranger's hand
A short term effect

ohh minimows you just gave me chills....you sound so much like me....please come to california someday....
i've already posted this one, but i was inspired to post it again(minimows) it reminds me of the summer before my sophmore year of high school, this was my favorite song off that album, i used to listen to it over and over again, that was the summer i discovered the cure....
All the faces
All the voices blur
Change to one face
Change to one voice
Prepare yourself for bed
The light seems bright
And glares on white walls
All the sounds of charlotte sometimes
Into the night
With charlotte sometimes
Night after night she lay alone in bed
Her eyes so open to the dark
The streets all looked so strange
They seemed so far away
But charlotte sometimes did not cry
The people seemed so close
Playing expressionless games
The people seemed so close
So close
So many
Other names
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Where all the other people dance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i'm dreaming
Expressionless the trance
Sometimes i'm dreaming
So many different names
Sometimes i'm dreaming
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
She hopes to open shadowed eyes
On a different world
Come to me
Scared princess
Charlotte sometimes
On that bleak track
(See the sun is gone again)
The tears were pouring down her face
She was crying and crying for a girl
Who died so many years before...
Sometimes i dream
Where all the people dance
Sometimes i dream
Charlotte sometimes
Sometimes i dream
The sounds all stay the same
Sometimes i'm dreaming
There are so many different names
Sometimes i dream
Sometimes i dream...
Charlotte sometimes crying for herself
Charlotte sometimes dreams a wall around herself
But it's always with love
With so much love it looks like
Everything else
Of charlotte sometimes
So far away
Glass sealed and pretty
Charlotte sometimes
...i wanted to be the girl in this video soooooooooo bad,i would pretend to walk around through that house....

each one of us is the girl in that video.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me...
It looks good!
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good!
It tastes like nothing on earth
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you-ou-ou!

psssssssssst.
i'm moving to cali in june/july.

Pictures of You
I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel
Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go
Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark
Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you
Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you
------------------
The wave of the future

 

[yoUr bLiSS]

for a chilly(finally!)autumn friday night..
Kiss me goodbye
Pushing out before i sleep
Can't you see I try
Swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than we"
You breathe the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together..."
"Kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"
And face pushed deep reflections meet
The strangest twist upon your lips and dissapear
The ripples clear and laughing break
Against your feet and laughing break the mirror sweet
"so we shall be together..."
"Kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
It's lower now and slower now the strangest
Twist upon your lips but i don't see and i dont
Feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
Before my fading eyes and in my eyes your
Smile the very last thing before i go...
I will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
Forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
Kiss you and we shall be together...
"the strangest twist upon your lips..."
i always loved that line
hey! you know who you are...where exactly is palo alto????

 

[MiNiMoWs]

a total flip-out song.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wake up in the dark
The aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall
And cough some more
And scrape my skin with razor blades
And make up in the new blood
And try to look so good
Follow me!
Make up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is
Ha ha ha!!!
As stale and selfish as a sick dog
Spurning sex like an animal of god
I'll tear your red hair by the roots
And hold you blazing
Hold you cherished in the dead electric light
Your face
I'll never see you this way again
I captured it so perfectly
As if I knew you'd disappear away
Shake dog shake
You hit me again
You howl and hit me again
The same sharp pain
Wakes me in the dark
And cuts me from my throat to my pounding heart
My heart
My shaking heart
Shake dog shake
But we slept all night in the virgin's bed
And dreamed of death
And breathed like sick dogs
We slept all night in the virgin's bed
And breathed like death
And dreamed of sick dogs
Shake dog shake
Wake up wake up wake up!
Shake dog shake
Wake up wake up wake up!
Shake dog shake
Wake up in the new blood
Make up in the new blood
Shake up in the new blood
And follow me to where the real fun is...
Shake dog shake

i always loved this song....from the "friday i'm in love" single which was so hard for me to find....
you know those things i said
all those things that made you cry
i didn't really mean that stuff
i didn't really mean that stuff
all i ever really mean
when i scream and shout the way i do
is i don't know i really don't
just the same as you
just the same as you
you know those things i said
all those things that made you run away from me
i didn't really mean a word
i didn't really mean i don't believe
all i ever really mean
when i rant and rave the way i do
is i'm scared again
just as scared as you
sometimes it's so hard
to just throw it all away
sometimes it's so hard
you could just throw it all away
and all those things i said
all those things that made you cry
i didn't really mean that stuff
i didn't really mean to say goodbye
didn't really mean to say goodbye
you know those things i said
all those things that made you run away from me
i didn't mean a word
i didn't really mean i don't believe
all i ever really mean
when i scream and shout the way i do
is i'm scared again
just as scared as you
sometimes it's so hard
i could just throw it all away
sometimes it's so hard
i could just throw it all away
sometimes it's so hard
to just throw it all away
sometimes it's so hard
to just throw it all away
just throw it all away
just throw it all away
...so cal girl here

 

[MiNiMoWs]

a beautiful song.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It's a perfect day for letting go
For setting fire to bridges
Boats
And other dreary worlds you know
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for making out
To wake up with a smile
Without a doubt
To burst grin giggle bliss skip jump sing and shout
Let's get happy!
"But it's much too late" you say
"For doing this now
We should have done it then"
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
It's a perfect day for kiss and swell
For rip-zipping button-popping kiss and well...
There's loads of other stuff can make you yell
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for doing the unstuck
For dancing like you can't hear the beat
And you don't give a further thought
To things like feet
Let's get happy!
"But it's much too late" you say
"For doing this now
We should have done it then"
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
Kick out the gloom
Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the beat is complete
With the sound of your world
Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
It's a perfect day for getting wild
Forgetting all your worries
Life
And everything that makes you cry
Let's get happy!
It's a perfect day for dreams come true
For thinking big
And doing anything you want to do
Let's get happy!
"But it's much too late" you say
"For doing this now
We should have done it then"
Well it just goes to show
How wrong you can be
And how you really should know
That it's never too late
To get up and go...
Kick out the gloom
Kick out the blues
Tear out the pages with all the bad news
Pull down the mirrors and pull down the walls
Tear up the stairs and tear up the floors
Oh just burn down the house!
Burn down the street!
Turn everything red and the dream is complete
With the sound of your world
Going up in the fire
It's a perfect day to throw back your head
And kiss it all goodbye!
*mmmmmmmmmmmmmwah*

i love these lyrics...especially the last couple of verses...
She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
(Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile...)
And he was standing
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down on the street
And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos
"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead
And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)

[MiNiMoWs]

a heartbreaker...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
if you've got something left to say
you'd better say it now
anything but "stay"
just say it now
we know we've reached the end
we just don't know how
"well at least we'll still be friends"
yeah on last useless vow…
"there are different ways to live"
yeah I know that stuff
"other ways to give"
yeah all that stuff
but holding onto used to be
is not enough
memory's not life
and it's not love
we should let it all go
it never stays the same
so why does it hurt me like this
when you say that I've change?
when you say that I've aged?
say I'm afraid…
and all the tears you cry
they're not tears for me
regrets about your life
they're not regrets for me
it never turns out how you want
why can't you see?
it all just slips away
it always slips away
eventually…
so if you've got nothing left to say
just say goodbye
turn your face away
and say goodbye
you know we've reached the end
you just don't know why
and you know we can't pretend
after all this time
so just let it all go
nothing ever stays the same
so why does it hurt me like this
to say that I've changed?
to say that I've aged?
say I'm afraid…
but there are long long nights when I lay awake
and I think of what I've done
of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
and what I've really become
and however hard I try
I will always feel regret
however hard I try
I will never forget
I will never forget.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

now this one's not just a heartbreaking song...it's a song that you put-on-repeat-while-you-curl-up-on-the-ground-sobbing-uncontrollably-clutching-your-stomach-and-writhing-in-emotional-aguish-over-the-ex-boyfriend-you-think-you-love-becaue-you're- just-a-teenager-who-doesn't-know-any-better-at-the-time song. damn, talk about a run-on..
Remember how it used to be
When the sun would fill up the sky
Remember how we used to feel
Those days would never end
Those days would never end
Remember how it used to be
When the stars would fill the sky
Remember how we used to dream
Those nights would never end
Those nights would never end
It was the sweetness of your skin
It was the hope of all we might have been
That fills me with the hope to wish
Impossible things
But now the sun shines cold
And all the sky is grey
The stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
And all i wish
Is gone away
All i wish
Is gone away
All i wish
Is gone away

smiles for you my sista....

soothing.
like medicinal language.
(i can't believe this one wasn't posted already!)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The Figurehead
Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year
A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing
I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while...
I can never say no to anyone but you
Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight...
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time
I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again
Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
girlie, you are the shit!

 

[yoUr bLiSS]

of course the line bolded in the above song is my favorite line...of course.....
i love the music in this one....
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hand of the trembling man
Hold my mouth
To hold in a scream
I try to think
To make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real
I have to see
I turn on fire
And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
Its so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new
It tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
It tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

s'up gurl, you know you my homie....

hi blissy.
i'm prepping to teach my b/f about why i'm so into the cure.
yep.
disintegration.
update in the AM.

dropping thru sky
thru the glass of the roof
thru the roof of your mouth
thru the mouth of your eye
thru the eye of needle
it's easier for me
to get closer to heaven
than ever feel whole again.
(blame it on G and C tonight)

 

[yoUr bLiSS]

9:08 on a saturday night....
mini gets that, i know she does. so i once wasted this cure lyric at the end of an e-mail for that boy whose never composed...
You flicker
And you're beautiful
You glow inside my head
You hold me hynotized
I'm mesmerized
Your flames
The flames that kiss me dead
silly girl i am....so how did it go???? disintegration was a good choice

 

[Spencer]

so you know how it is
wake up feeling grey
nothing much to think and nothing much to say
don't want to talk don't want to try
don't want to think don't want to know
who what where when or why...
-Spencer

 

[yoUr bLiSS]

hey kids
i really like this posting only one verse thing we seemed to have started, it's so much more meaningful then posting a full song.
possibly one of the best verses ever....
the year grew old incessantly she wrote to me
she'd started smoking poetry!
i laughed in recognition of a favorite 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
"kissing crimson fell into her waiting arms"
my favorite line

---------------------------------------------
MINI! MINI! where did you go??????

 

[Spencer]

*sigh* Strange Attractions is one of my favorite songs *ever*. "She'd Started smoking poetry" Is my personal favorite line by the cure
