THE CURE ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ (STUFF NOT ON ALBUMS) ÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄÄ 2 Late ------ So I'll wait for you Where I always wait Behind the signs that sell the news I'll watch for you like yesterday And hope for you One day that once Spent out on me And up 'til late I search for you Your hat pushed straight Away from me Your measured step Heads up you win Always too late If I could just once catch your eye Invisible against the words That hold you down in solitude And never let you go The way that every time My eyes just close Like lids of wooden men in file I put you under rainy day Your hat's all off And I'm gone away Babble ------ Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves I swim around in circles In the same old lifeless room And talk about the mirror man The whispers in my ear again The hot and sticky pillow man Is smothering my face again Nothing ever changes Nothing ever moves And I run around hysterical In dead persistent gloom And babble out in simile Like dog-head-monkey-music me Shut up shut up shut up shut up Shut up!!! And let me breathe... Breathe ------- Breathe Breathe on me Be like you used to be Breathe on me Move in me Be like you used to be Move in me Move in me Be with me Be like you used to be With me With me Chain Of Flowers ---------------- 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 fell asleep before I came I found you In a chain of flowers Sleeping like a marble girl Sleeping in another world... I'll never tell you Of all the different ways You make me so afraid... Charlotte Sometimes ------------------- 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 Do the hansa -- --- ----- Ein zwei drei vier Steve oh yeah Platinum all the way Do the hansa Do the hansa Etc etc The Exploding Boy ----------------- I couldn't hear a word you said I couldn't hear at all You talked until your tongue fell out And then you talked some more I knew if I turned I'd turn away from you And I couldn't look back Tell yourself we'll start again Tell yourself it's not the end Tell yourself it couldn't happen Not this way Not today Fear Of Ghosts -------------- Like a feeling that I'm down Down inside my heart Like I'm looking out through Splitting bloodred Windows in my heart >From a higher up than heaven And a harder down than stone Shake the fear that always clawing Pulls me clawing down alone As I spitting splitting bloodred Breaking windows in my heart And the past is taunting Fear of ghosts Is forcing me apart And the further I get >From the things that I care about The less I care about How much further away I get... I am lost again With everything gone And more alone Than I have ever been I expect you to understand To feel it too But I know that even if you will You cannot ever help me Nor can I Ever help you A Few Hours After This... ------------------------- The look before I go Is the look for you You only have to look and it will all come true And we can fall outside Into the fizzy night Or pull me down in here You know it's all the same I only want to see if you are happy again Or we can roll around And find out upside down A few hours after this and we're apart again Like two white checks Like opposite poles In a secret game (like nothing like these I suppose...) I really should have known by the cut of your smile That the answer would be simple It still took you awhile to get it out of me I thought you'd do it easily Just put your hands around my heart And squeeze me until I'm dry I never thought you'd ever start to ever ask me why I never saw you again Happy the Man ------------- I'll never understand (Come closer and I'll whisper) Who was that standing in the rain? If only I could remember What he said (And how it all began) Happy the man With the face that smiles But it has to have a name (Something strong, something faithful, something pure) How does he look so safe? He'll never Never turn away Happy the man Heroin Face ----------- Spit out the shout of a warning Death is an honour with doubts So you live in the end And you mistrust the start Because you don't think it counts But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You're just a heroin face You see a heroin face in the mirror And someone is clutching your breath And you believe in the needle of night You're only doing your best But you'll pay for yourself You'll pay for yourself You believe in the needle of night And someone is cluthing your breath So you mistrust the start By always running away But you'll never come back You're just a heroin face Heroin face 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 A Japanese Dream ---------------- I'm going back to the land of the blind Back to the land where the sun never shines I'm going back there and I'm hoping to find Everything just as it was before I left it all behind I slept at nights there hysterically Twisted and turned But I just couldn't get free Opened my eyes But I still couldn't see But I could feel her China white girl So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping god Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the lord Burning like a monkey Mmmmmm that was a Japanese dream alright The sound of the storm And the flickering light And the way that her scent used to fill up the night like... Like her scent used to fill up the night So I get down on the floor Like I am worshipping god Burning like a monkey I get down on the floor Like I am praying to the lord Burning like a monkey Just look at me now Just look at me this way It looks like I am quite insane It looks like I am trying to eat off my face It looks like I'm going to the land of the blind anyway Back where the sun never shines Back to the land of the blind Back in a Japanese dream A Man Inside My Mouth --------------------- I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating I was wrapped up in a blanket I was grey Damp and sore The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic (like I think I'm at the racing Like the night before) I remember one girl standing One was sitting on the ground One was holding me up The other pulling me down And I couldn't decide which one was real Because there wasn't a sound (Like I was pregnant again...) "Don't move don't blink don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil And cut you off at the head" So I was sucking I was suncking like a fat lady would But I couldn't hold it down another second (Bleagh!) "Don't twitch don't shout don't think don't even breathe" she said "Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the head" So I was sweating I was sweating like a fat lady would And I woke up With a man inside my mouth (This won't hurt at all) New Day ------- New day In heaven the ground is waiting For the dust The seed My love once more I shout New day Hold the air and gasp in life This solid dance This cold cold night Is gone The dark heat throbs The fools sweat swims The hazy light The deadly sins Are gone Crack the stone Invade my head Dropping honey dropping dead again The silence shouts Across the gap Another dreaming Love me again Shout. Out of Mind ----------- I've been up for days And I feel like a menagerie I'm scratching 'til I bleed And I keep on seeing Imaginary lemurs In the street In the middle of the day But as long as I can breathe Then I know I'll be OK I'll be alright I'm out of mind I'm out of sight I'm out of sight I've been up for days And I feel like a laboratory rat Inside a maze And I reel in the monotony of Screaming At the moon In the middle of the day But as long as I can see it Then I know I'll be ok I'll be fine I'm out of sight I'm completely out of mind Completely out of mind OK Alright Come and watch me shake tonight Mouth wide Soft and bright Bite my hand and scream OK Alright Come and watch me break tonight Push deep Out of sight Bite my hand and hold on tight... Pillbox Tales ------------- Electric line Racing time Fire down the wall Spinning around The killing ground It makes you look so small Henna years The stinging tears Flesh on the railway track The screaming queen On the TV screen Is never coming back Don't suffer no more Just step inside and listen Listen to my pillbox tales Your special days Your winning ways You're living out the past You're lying lies And tying ties And running much too fast But you feel so sick If you run too quick And wishing every day Wishing you were years away Don't suffer no more Just step inside and listen Listen to my pillbox tales Mr. Pink Eyes ------------- You look so cool Oh I don't think Just fall over be like me Mr. Pink Eyes Your mind is blank And mine's away Oh you can't see You can't smell Mr. Pink Eyes It's got to be jazz That's what she wants You are so vile Mr. Pink Eyes Oh give me a look Give me a look Or sit on my head Or jump on my foot Do something Snow in Summer -------------- High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your deep green heart I drink you as I swim And I'm sliding And I'm sliding with you Slide beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You open up in me Just like the snow in summer High up on this mountain The whole world looks so small And all the rivers Run away Slipping in your soft white heart I drink you as I swim And I'm falling And I'm falling with you Fall beneath my skin Sleek and deep And salty sweet You come And close in me Just like the snow in summer Just like the snow in summer As it melts Into the sea Splintered in her Head ---------------------- Shape is still Asleep With the toys As tall as men The pictures in the hallway Turning inside Whispers Unseen Jumping against the sky Slipping away He looks For the last time... Stop Dead --------- Let me forget let me forget Or let me go let me go I'll keep it quiet as a whisper I'll keep it low low low Never The biggest word I ever heard Stop dead Stop dead You're getting too close Before you even opened your eyes I moved about a million ways I killed about a million people And filled about half a day Before you even opened your eyes You had to have to ask me who I love it I mean you My face was in your hands You looked into my eyes You said I tasted right And swallowed me alive Sugar Girl ---------- Oh I wish I could find it funny You laughing like that But instead I change into a rage And run around Without a face I wish I could find it funny When you never came back But I don't suppose I'll ever know The how to keep you Goodbye sugar girl Goodbye sugar girl Throw Your Foot --------------- It's funny how your face gets bigger Gets bigger in this atmosphere And your mouth goes dry With every move you try It's so funny here Jumping around -- click click click When you're so slow It's like the world is stopping Fifteen times I try this And every time I faint You look at me and Start to tell the joke About the man who couldn't stop Hiccupping It would be so perfect If you would just fall out the window Throw your foot away You're tired and your face is grey Like the sad old fool You groove Hey hey hey
