..... THE CURE LYRICS - TITLES STARTING WITH LETTER B .....

||||| 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...

||||| The Baby Screams |||||

heaven!
give me a sign
waiting for the sun to shine
pleasure fills up my dreams
and i love it
like a baby screams

its so useless
how can you be proud
when you're sinking into the ground
into the ground fills up my dreams
and i love it
like a baby screams

couldn't ask for more you said
take it all
and strike me
strike me dead

waiting again
waiting
like i waited before
waiting again
waiting here for nothing at all
heaven fills up my dreams
and i love it
like a baby screams

couldn't ask for more you said
couldn't ever let it end
take it all
take it all
and strike me dead

heaven!
heaven!

||||| Bananafishbones |||||

curl into a ball like you have more fun
that would make it faster
why do you do it do you do it do you act like you?
why do you do it do you act like you?

don't fight
go red and blue and black and white
sell this sell this
or leave it senseless like a suck on a gun?
"put a piece of metal in your head" you said
"make you dead
make you hippa hippa hippa hippa..."

a palace of stones
of your bananafish bones
i'd buy you a hundred years old
to celebrate our difference
theorise and talk yourself
until you're tired and old

disappear everywhere and watch me
pull my lips apart
exploit! inspire! encourage!
be responsible for this...
ha ha!

i don't think
i don't think
i make use of all this time
oh kill me kiss me once
and then we'll throw it away
and then we'll throw it away...

turn off the lights
and tell me about the games you play...

||||| Bare |||||

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 one 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 changed?
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

||||| 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

||||| Birdmad Girl |||||

this girl has got a smile
that can make me cry
this girl just burns with love
she's burning burning deep outside

night time night time
sets my house on fire
i'll turn into the melting man
i'll lose my life
to feel i feel desire

oh i should feel
like a polar bear...
it's impossible

she flies outside this cage
singing girlmad words
i keep her dark thoughts deep inside
as black as stone
and mad as birds

wild wild wild
and never turn away
sends me all her love
she sends me everything
she sends me everywhere

oh i could be
a polar bear...
it's impossible

i try to talk
the sky goes red
i forget so fill my head
with some of this
some of that
some of every word she said

oh i should be
a polar bear...
but it's impossible

||||| 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...

||||| Bloodflowers |||||

"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 hard 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

||||| A Blues in Drag |||||

(instrumental)

||||| Boys Don't Cry |||||

i would say i'm sorry
if i thought that it would change your mind
but i know that this time
i have said too much
been too unkind

i try to laugh about it
cover it all up with lies
i try and laugh about it
hiding the tears in my eyes
because boys don't cry
boys don't cry

i would break down at your feet
and beg forgiveness plead with you
but i know that it's too late
and now there's nothing i can do

so i try to laugh about it
cover it all up with lies
i try to laugh about it
hiding the tears in my eyes
because boys don't cry

i would tell you that i loved you
if i thought that you would stay
but i know that it's no use
that you've already gone away

misjudged your limit
pushed you too far
took you for granted
i thought that you needed me more

now i would do most anything
to get you back by my side
but i just keep on laughing
hiding the tears in my eyes
because boys don't cry
boys don't cry
boys don't cry

||||| 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

||||| Burn |||||

"don't look don't look" the shadows breathe
whispering me away from you
"don't wake at night to watch her sleep
you know that you will always lose
this trembling adored tousled bird mad girl..."
but every night i burn
but every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again

"oh don't talk of love" the shadows purr
murmuring me away from you
"don't talk of worlds that never were
the end is all that's ever true
there's nothing you can ever say
nothing you can ever do..."
still every night i burn
every night i scream your name
every night i burn
every night the dream's the same
every night i burn
waiting for my only friend
every night i burn
waiting for the world to end

"just paint your face" the shadows smile
slipping me away from you
"oh it doesn't matter how you hide
find you if we're wanting to
so slide back down and close your eyes
sleep a while
you must be tired..."
but every night i burn
every night i call your name
every night i burn
every night i fall again
every night i burn
scream the animal scream
every night i burn
dream the crow black dream

dream the crow black dream...
