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

||||| Carnage Visors |||||

(instrumental)

||||| Catch |||||

yeah i know who you remind me
of a girl i think i used to know
yeah i'd see her when the days 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 never even caught her name

and sometimes we would spend the night
just rolling about on the floor
and i remember even though it felt soft at the time
i always used to wake up sore...

you know i even think that she smiled like you
she used to just stand there and smile
and her eyes would go all sort of far away
and stay like that for quite a while

and i remember 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 never even caught her name

yeah i sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even caught her name

||||| The Caterpillar |||||

flicka flicka flicka here you are
cata cata cata caterpillar girl
flowing in and filling up my hopeless heart
oh never never go

dust my lemon lies
with powder pink and sweet
the day i stop is the day you change
and fly away from me

you flicker and you're beautiful
you glow inside my head
you hold me hypnotized i'm mesmerized...
your flames the flames that kiss me dead

||||| 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
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 did not cry

the people seemed so close
playing expressionless games
the people seemed 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 other 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

||||| Close to Me |||||

i've waited hours for this
i've made myself so sick
i wish i'd stayed asleep today
i never thought this day would end
i never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

just try to see in the dark
just try to make it work
to feel the fear
before you're here
i make the shapes come much too close
i pull my eyes out
hold my breath
and wait until i shake...

but if i had your faith
then i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

i've waited hours for this
i've made myself so sick
i wish i'd stayed asleep today
i never thought this day would end
i never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

but if i had your face
i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

||||| 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

||||| Cloudberry |||||

(instrumental)

||||| Club America |||||

i ride into your town on a big black trojan horse
i'm looking to have some fun
some kind of trigger-happy intercourse
"club america salutes you" says the girl on the door
"we accept all major lies
we love any kind of fraud
so go on in and enjoy...
go on in and enjoy!!!"

i'm buying for my bright new friends
blue suzannes all round
and my mood is heavily pregnant...
yeah you're right
i couldn't help but notice your icy blue eyes
they've been burning two holes
in the sides of my head
since the second i arrived

and it's not too hard to guess
from your stick-on stars
and your canary feather dress
your hair in such a carefully careless mess
that you're really trying very hard to impress

you're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
sensational dazzling perfectly sized
such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
sharing it with me in club america tonight...

so we talk for a while about some band you saw on tv
but i don't listen to you and you don't listen to me
yeah it's an old routine
but it's a very special part of the game
and you don't really care what i call you at all
when i can't quite remember your name

and it's not too hard to guess
from your stick-on stars
and your canary feather dress
the way you're so carefully couldn't care less
that you're really trying very hard to impress

you're such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
sensational dazzling perfectly sized
such a wonderful person living a fabulous life
sharing it with me tonight
yeah you're a wonderful person living a fabulous life
fantastic divine and thrillingly bright
such a wonderful person living a fabulous lie
with me in club america tonight...

||||| Cold |||||

scarred
your back was turned
curled like an embryo
take another face
you will be kissed again
i was cold as i mouthed the words
and crawled across the mirror

i wait
await the next breath
your name
like ice into my heart

a shallow grave
a monument to the ruined age
ice in my eyes
and eyes like ice don't move
screaming at the moon
another past time

your name
like ice into my heart

everything as cold as life
can no-one save you?
everything as cold as silence
and you will never say a word

your name
like ice into my heart

||||| Coming up |||||

yeah it's a snow white original mix and she's fixing me
and the heartless thing she does is everything i love
it's all i ever need

yeah it's a skin tight sensational strip
and she's tripping me
and the shameless way she turns...
is all i ever dream

you ask me why i use it
it could be just a way to pass the time
i never really choose it
it's just another play to lose...
my mind...

yeah it's a bright light promotional taste
and she's wasting me
and the tearless time she breaks is everytime i ache
it's all i ever feel

you ask me why i need it
it's maybe just a way to pass the time
i never really mean it
it's just another play to lose...
my mind...

yeah it's a big night emotional kill and she's thrilling me
and the careless way she hurts...
is all i ever scream

you ask me why i take it
it could be just a way to pass the time
i never really make it
it's just another play to lose...

i'm coming up in the dark
and every part of me is bruised and raw and pained
i'm coming up in the dark
and every part of me is loose and sore and stained
and so i play it when i use it if i need it then i take it
and i play it all again...
and then i hold you... so cold you... like i know you...
yeah like i always know and like i always lose...
my mind... my mind...

yeah i play it when i use it if i need it then i take it
and i play it all again... and then i hold you...
so cold you... like i know you...

yeah like i always know and like i always lose
yeah like i always lose
like i always lose...
my mind...

||||| Cut |||||

if only you'd never speak to me
the way that you do
if only you'd never speak like that
it's like listening to
a breaking heart a falling sky
fire go out and friendship die
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do

if only you'd never look at me
the way that you do
if only you'd never look like that
when i look at you
i see face like stone eyes of ice
mouth so sweetly telling lies
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do

but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone

if only you'd never pull from me
the way that you do
if only you'd never pull like that
when i'm with you
i feel hopeless hands helplessly
pulling you back close to me
i wish you felt the way that i still do
the way that i still do

if only you'd ever speak speak to me
the way you once did
look at me the way you once did
pull to me the way you once did
but you don't
you don't feel anymore
you don't care anymore
it's all gone
it's all gone

||||| Cut Here |||||

"so we meet again!" and i offer my hand
all dry and english slow
and you look at me and i understand
yeah its a look i used to know

"three long years... and your favourite man...
is that any way to say hello?"
and you hold me...
like you'll never let me go

"oh come on and have a drink with me
sit down and talk a while..."
"on i wish i could... and i will!
but now i just don't have the time..."
and over my shoulder as i walk away
i see you give that look goodbye
i still see that look in your eyes...

so dizzy mr busy too much rush to talk
to billy and the silly frilly things have to first get alone
in a minute sometime soon maybe next time make it june
until later... doesn't always come

it's so hard to think "it ends sometime
and this could be the last
i should really hear you sing again
and i should really watch you dance"
because it's hard to think
"i'll never get another chance
to hold you... to hold you..."

but chilly mr dilly too much rush to talk
to billy all the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
in a second just hang on all in good time won't be long
until later...

i should've stopped to think
i should've made the time
i could've had that drink
i could've talked a while
i would've done it right
i would've moved us on
but it didn't now it's all too late
it's over... over...
and you're gone...

i miss you i miss you
i miss you i miss you
i miss you i miss you so much
but how many times can i walk away
and wish "if only.."
how many times can i talk this way
and wish "if only..."
keep on making the same mistake
keep on aching the same heartbreak
i wish "if only..."
but "if only..." is a wish too late
