The Cure - A 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
It's like the day you tired to hide
Behind the churchyard wall
And feel asleep before I came
I found you in a chain of flowers

Sleeping like a marble girl
Sleeping in another world

I will never tell you
All the different ways
All the different ways
You make me so afraid

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
That you're going away

I will never tell you
All the different ways
All the different ways
You make me so afraid

The Cure - 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 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
You are everything

I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head all full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end as 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
You are everything
You are everything

The Cure - The Dream

You’re too far away

Too far away to touch

And this mother’s love inside me

Hurts too much

Prettily waving

Playing on the sand

Dreaming of everything

Dancing

Dancing in our hands

Dancing

Dancing

Dizzy dizzy dizzy

As I speak

Like a tumbling cat

I watch in fascination

Like a vampire bat

Don’t do it don’t do it

Don’t do it don’t do it

Don’t give it away

We’ll use it up tomorrow

If we don’t use it today

Rest your head

Oh! just put it outside

All wrapped up in ribbons

The night

The dream

The time love died

We pushed it in our mouths

Pushed it deep inside

All wrapped up in ribbons

The night

The dream

The time

Love died

The Cure - World In My Eyes

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes

(originally recorded by Depeche Mode)

The Cure - 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 all alone

Wishing you were years away

Don’t suffer

No more

Just step inside and listen

Listen to my pillbox tales

The Cure - Doing The Unstuck

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!

The Cure - Signal To Noise

Nothing I do makes much sense
Say you don’t really get me anymore
I wonder if you ever did… If you ever did at all?
Nothing I want means a lot
Say you don’t understand me like before
I’m not sure if you ever did… If you ever did at all?

Nothing I think has a point
Say you don’t quite believe me anymore
I wonder if you ever did… If you ever did at all?

Gets hard to guess the best way through
The thing to do if none of this is true
I wish I knew how to undo
The doubt I hide inside
I grew in you…

The knot I hide inside I tied in you…

Nothing I am shows the way
Say you don’t seem to know me like before
I’m not sure if you ever did… If you ever did at all?

No nothing I do makes much sense
Say you don’t really get me anymore
I wonder if you ever did… If you ever did at all?

Gets hard to guess the best way through
The thing to do if none of this is true
I wish I knew how to undo
The knot I tied in you…
When more or less the yes and no
Is all for show it isn’t really so…
Look high and low where did we go?
You moved too fast or maybe I just moved too slow?

There’s so much noise…
All the signal seems to fade away
Too much noise…

Or could be this is how it always sounds
With nothing left?

The Cure - Scared As You

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
I’m just the same as you

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 rant and rave the way I do
Is I’m scared
I’m scared
I’m just as scared as you

And sometimes it’s so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Sometimes it’s so hard
Not to just throw it all away
Like 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

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
I’m scared
I’m just as scared as you

The Cure - 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

The Cure - 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

The Cure - Just Like Heaven

"Show me how you do that trick

The one that makes me scream" she said

"The one that makes me laugh" she said

And threw her arms around my neck

"Show me how you do it and I promise you 

I promise that I'll run away with you

I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge

I kissed her face and kissed her head

And dreamed of all the different ways I had

To make her glow

"Why are you so far away?" she said

"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?

That I'm in love with you?"

You

Soft and only

You

Lost and lonely

You

Strange as angels

Dancing in the deepest oceans

Twisting in the water

You're just like a dream...

Daylight licked me into shape

I must have been asleep for days

And moving lips to breathe her name

I opened up my eyes

And found myself alone 

Alone

Alone above a raging sea

That stole the only girl I loved

And drowned her deep inside of me

You

Soft and only

You

Lost and lonely

You 

Just like heaven

The Cure - A Pink Dream

Rio sunrise sucking on a straw
I rub my head and stagger out the door
And head into the bright new beautiful day
And the way she pulls me in
Sucks my breath away

I asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it

Never smile
Never stare
She doesn't seem to care at all
Never cry
Never scream
She doesn't really seem to need me at all...

Fourteen weeks I stay away from home
A hundred days a part of me unknown
Apart in pink and perfect moments play
And as a wonder of the world
She sucks my breath away

I asked her for some time
And she just made me it
I asked her maybe why?
And she just gave me it
So I asked her could be heaven?
And she just prayed me it...

She didn't want to know my name
She didn't want to know how long we had together
Spending time as if tomorrow never comes
I didn't want to know the end
I didn't want to go but slowly found me home again
And slow again tomorrow comes

But it was all so far away
And so long ago
I hardly ever think about her anymore
Except sometimes when the summer twilight breeze
Carries me the scent of faraway rain
I remember...
And she still sucks my breath away

The Cure - Dredd Song

Never say it's over, never say the end
Anytime you stop just start again
Never say give up, never say give in
You always have to fight to win

However much it hurts, however much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets, however much it aches
Always believe in me, as I believe in you

To never say too late, never say it's done
Make me know for real you are the one
One that never turns, never walks away
One that I can trust to always stay, always stay

Never say surrender, never say die
You only ever get there if you try
Never say give up, never say give in
You always have to fight to win

However much it hurts, however much it takes
Believe that all your dreams can all come true
However hard it gets, however much it aches
Always believe in me, as I believe in you
As I believe in you, as I believe in you, as I believe in you

Never say if only, never say regret
Only the weak remember to forget
Never say it's over, never say the end
Never say never again

However much it hurts, however much it takes
Believe and all your dreams will all come true
However hard it gets, however much it aches
Believe in me, as I believe in you

The Cure - Snow In Summer

High up on this mountain
Oh the whole world looks so small
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
Oh the whole world looks so small
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
As it melts into the sea

Snow in summer
Snow in summer
Snow in summer

The Cure - 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 a while 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

The Cure - 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 to let it 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 wait 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, 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 I did it before
If I could try it out
If I could just be sure
That maybe someday is the last time
Yeah maybe someday is the end
Oh maybe someday is when it all stops
Or maybe someday always comes again...

The Cure - Just One Kiss

I remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes

Remember that time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all

Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss

Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands

Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss

Just one kiss
Just one kiss

The Cure - Home

Every time I try to tell you how I feel inside
I always make the same mistakes
Tie myself in knots
Sometimes even make you cry
When all I ever want to say
Is nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
Nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away

Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more

And every time I try to tell you what I really mean
Nothing seems to come out right
End up murmuring foolishly
It makes me want to scream
How I get so stupefied

There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Makes me feel this way
There's nobody else in the whole wide world
Takes my breath away

Makes me feel so strange inside
Open mouthed and mystified
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so upside down
Muddle-headed round and round
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel so strange inside
Dazed confused and starry-eyed
I couldn't love you more
Makes me feel the wrong way round
Inside out and upside down
I couldn't love you more

The Cure - The Big Hand

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your dreams go small
And all your friends run away
Until your memories fail
And the words don't fit
But the way the big hand smiles
You just won't care about it

The big hand makes all of your favourite things
Like all your days run out
And all your hopes disappear
And your smiles just stop
And your eyes go dead
And the shadows start to crawl
In the back of your head

But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone I'll never
Leave alone again

So when the big hand holds up all your favourite things
And with a touch like glass
Starts to squeeze
You don't ask
"Why me?"
You just slip to the floor
Just slip to your knees

But when the big hand speaks
It's like fireworks and heaven
So you listen
Don't think
And wish for nothing at all
And when the big hand sings
It's like fireworks and friends
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Never leaving alone
Leaving alone I'm not
Leaving alone
Leaving alone
I'm not leaving alone again

The Cure - Hello, I Love You

Hello,
I love you.
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello,
I love you.
Let me jump in your game.

She's walkin' down the street,
Blind to every eye she meets.
Do you think you'll be the guy
To make the queen of the angels sigh?

Hello,
I love you.
Won't you tell me your name?
Hello,
I love you.
Let me jump in your game.

She holds her head so high
Like a statue in the sky.
Her arms are wicked and her legs are long.
When she moves, my brain screams out this song.

Sidewalk crouches at her feet
Like a dog that begs for somethin' sweet.
Do you hope to make her see, you fool?
Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?

Hello.
Hello.
Hello.
