Song Lyrics (Burn by The Cure)

happy weekend, cure babies.
----------------------------------
The Holy Hour
I kneel and wait in silence
As one by one the people slip away
Into the night
The quiet and empty bodies
Kiss the ground before they pray
Kiss the ground
And slip away...
I sit and listen dreamlessly
A promise of salvation makes me stay
Then look at your face
And feel my heart pushed in
As all around the children play
The games they tired of yesterday
They play
I stand and hear my voice
Cry out
A wordless scream at ancient power
It breaks against stone
I softly leave you crying...
I cannot hold what you devour
The sacrifice of penance
In the holy hour
----------------------------------
especially the blissy one.

from the blissy one to the mini one....
a couple of cure related tragedies which i know you will feel me on, have happened recentley...first of all my car ate my staring at the sea(with all those b-sides!) tape(can you still even buy it?) second...last week in san francisco dancing my ass of i lost my favorite necklace. the silver bloodflower charm i bought at the dream tour. i put it on a thin black cord and wore it EVERYWHERE. i got tons of complements on it, people always wantd to know where i got it...i never told any one(unless they would have appreciated it)though, i just smiled and said "thank you!"
ok....rambling aside, this is in memory of my lost necklace...
"This dream never ends," you said. "This feeling never goes
The time will never come to slip away"
"This wave never breaks," you said. "This sun never sets again
These flowers will never fade"
"This world never stops," you said. "This wonder never leaves
The time will never come to say goodbye"
"This tide never turns," you said. "This night never falls again
These flowers will never die"
Never die, never die
These flowers will never die
"This dream always ends," I said. "This feeling always goes
The time always comes to slip away"
"This wave always breaks," I said. "This sun always sets again
And these flowers will always fade"
"This world always stops," I said. "This wonder always leaves
The time always comes to say goodbye"
"This tide always turns" I said. "This night always falls again
And these flowers will always die" Always die, always die
These flowers will always die
Between you and me
It's had to ever really know who to trust
How to think
What to believe
Between me and you
It's hard to ever really know who to choose
How to feel
What to do
Never fade, never die
You give me flowers of love
Always fade, always die
I let fall flowers of blood
 
bliss: :( ---> your charm. maybe santa will find you a new one???
***********************************
At Night
Sunk deep in the night
I sink in the night
Standing alone underneath the sky
I feel the chill of ice
On my face
I watch the hours go by
The hours go by...
You sleep
Sleep in a safe bed
Curled and protected
Protected from sight
Under a safe roof
Deep in your house
Unaware of the changes at night
At night
I hear the darkness breathe
I sense the quiet despair
Listen to the silence
At night
Someone has to be there
Someone has to be there
Someone must be there
***********************************
sometimes life can suck.
 
ok I know this sounds wierd but Ive never heard anything by the cure,Ive been told by tuns of people to listen to them but Ive deliberately gone out of my way not to,Im not sure why its just in my nature to be difficult I guess :) but after reading a few of these lyrics Im gonna have to go out and get a cd......any suggestions as to what to get first?
 
hmmm...for a first timer i would probably recommend "disintegration"(what do you think mini???) it's such a dark and beautiful album...one of my faves. here's a dark selection, for a dark mood tonight...
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man

Fire In Cairo
Slowly fading blue
The eastern hollows catch
The dying sun
Night-time follows
Silence and black
Mirror pool mirrors
The lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn
Like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips slide
Under my hand
Swollen lips whispers
My name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage
Fades away
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
F-I-R-E-I-N-C-A-I-R-O
Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a
Fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like a
Fire
Flare
Burn like fire
Burn like
Fire in Cairo

my cat, peri, is grey.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
All Cats Are Grey
I never thought that I would find myself
In bed amongst the stones
The columns are all men
Begging to crush me
No shapes sail on the dark deep lakes
And no flags wave me home
In the caves
All cats are grey
In the caves
The textures coat my skin
In the death cell
A single note
Rings on and on and on...
 
Well harraser, Im going to have to go against the majority here and say not to get disentigration ujntil you have a few other albums. Personally, it's my least favorite of the albums (*ducks*). Granted, i only have 8-10 of the albums, but hey...
I'm also gonna go *way* against the majority by stating that Wild Mood Swings is my fave cure album. (*ducks again*).
I know I havent posted anything in a while, so heres a couple of verse's from "Catch" for y'all.
Yes I know who you remind me of
A girl I think I used to know
Yes I'd see her when the day got colder
On those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you
She used to just stand there and stare
And roll her eyes right up to heaven
And make like I just wasn't there
And she used to fall down a lot
That girl was always falling
Again and again
And I used to sometimes try to catch her
But I never even caught her name
 
grrrrrrrrr...my roomate took the computer apart at home and has yet to put it back together so once again i'm sneaking bluelight at work...
laughing at the christmas lights
you remember from december
..he he that's all i have time for today...
 
let's keep a xmas theme!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(from the holy hour)
Come around at Christmas
I really have to see you
Smile at me slyly
Another festive compromise
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
hi bliss and spence, are you two engaged, yet?
 
yeah guys I borrowed Concert off a freind....its not bad but when he talks that guys voice is sooo dopey(hehehe please dont hurt me).Im gonna find some more stuff of theirs to listen too then Ill give you a proper opinion :)
 
dopey! Hahahahaha. He's british, what do you expect?
*sigh* I'd turn ghey for Robert smith.
oops, did I say that out loud?
 
harraser:
concert is not a great cure cd. it's just not.
take a look at the list a few posts up for what's fantastic. if you can get standing on a beach ON TAPE, you'll understand everything. you have to read cure lyrics to drown, the music is a mere gateway.
if you like, i'll email you some great tracks.
let me know: [email protected]
spencer:
you're a good fucking boy. please give disintegration another try or ten. i could never really get into "from the edge of the deep green sea" until i read about how the song touches you. thank you!!!
xoxox.b
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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
 
hey guys! still no computer at home...didn't realize how addicted to bluelight i was...i hate my roommate and am going freakin crazy!!!!
harrasar: please give the cure another shot...i promise you won't be sorry.
spencer: i bet if me and mini kidnapped you and made you listen to disintegration with us you would loooove it by the time we were through with you.
mini: :) you and i have the EXACT same "cure taste" come to cali soon!
from memory...sorry if i screw it up a bit...
oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black
and the velvety
up tight against the side of me...

*begin whiny veruka salt voice*
daddy, I want a cure DVD.
*end whiny veruka salt voice*
bliss:
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO on your roommate.
we sure do have the exact same taste, come sing in my car with me, dammit!
xoxox.b
i always feel like i'm somewhere in mexico when i hear this song. OLE!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The Blood
Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all
I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears
All the broken words
I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know
If any of this was really true at all...
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
 
um...i'll probably mess this up but i'm trying to stay with mini's x-mas theme. i believe it goes something like this...from "last dance"
but christmas falls later
flatter and colder(???)
and never as bright
as when we used to fall
all this in an instant
before i can kiss you
a woman now stands
where once there was only
a girl
it's funny that i sneak onto the internet here at work just to post cure lyrics...
 
Can't say I can think of/remember any Xmas type lyrics off hand but I just wanted to post something to make mini and TB smile...
I've had Disentegration in my cd player for the last 2 days now. My opinion has completly 180'd. I think the reason why I disliked it so much was cause I /can't stand/ plainsong, and since thats the first track, it just kinda ruined the album for me.
So, I concede.. Disentegration fucking rocks. (Espceically Prayers for Rain :) )

you should hear plainsong live - it's like you're in church. i'm so happy you've refound love in the cure. it happens to me constantly. a song that i once didn't like so much, i listen closely and read the lyrics and them i'm like "holy shit, this song is over 15 years old and i'm just starting to appreciate it now"...
---------------------------------------
I'm Cold
You're begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face
You're so desperate
Not to let those years of care
All go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice
I'm me
I'm cold
I'm cold
I'm told
I'd love to love you girl
But my body has just been sold
