The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

I really don't know what I'm doing here 
I really think I should've gone to bed tonight but
Just one drink 
And there're some people to meet you 
I think that you'll like them 
I have to say we do 
And I promise in less than an hour we will honestly go 
Now why don't I just get you another 
While you just say hello
Yeah just say hello

So I'm clutching it tight 
Another glass in my hand 
And my mouth and the smiles 
Moving up as I stand up 
Too close and too wide 
And the smiles are too bright 
And I breathe in too deep 
And my head's getting light 
But the air is getting heavier and it's closer 
And I'm starting to sway 
And the hands on all my shoulders don't have names 
And they won't go away 
So here I go 
Here I go again

Falling into strangers 
And it's only just eleven 
And I'm staring like a child 
Until someone slips me heaven 
And I take it on my knees 
Just like a thousand times before 
And I get transfixed 
That fixed 
And I'm just looking at the floor 
Just looking at the floor 
Yeah I look at the floor 

And I'm starting to laugh 
Like an animal in pain 
And I've got blood on my hands 
And I've got hands in my brain 
And the first short retch 
Leaves me gasping for more 
And I stagger over screaming 
On my way to the floor 
And I'm back on my back 
With the lights and the lies in my eyes 
And the colour and the music's too loud 
And my head's all the wrong size 
So here I go 
Here I go again

Yeah I laugh and I jump 
And I sing and I laugh 
And I dance and I laugh 
And I laugh and I laugh 
And I can't seem to think 
Where this is 
Who I am 
Why I'm keeping this going 
Keep pouring it out 
Keep pouring it down 
And the way the rain comes down hard 
That's the way I feel inside

I can't take it anymore 
This it I've become 
This is it like I get 
When my life's going numb 
I just keep moving my mouth 
I just keep moving my feet 
I say I'm loving you to death 
Like I'm losing my breath 
And all the smiles that I wear 
And all the games that I play 
And all the drinks that I mix 
And I drink until I'm sick 
And all the faces that I make 
And all the shapes that I throw 
And all the people I meet 
And all the words that I know 
Makes me sick to the heart 
Oh I feel so tired

And the way the rain comes down hard 
That's how I feel inside
