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

hey mister a review
a word for salad
is written by my friend
in penman

he uses long words
like semiotics and semolina
but i counted
with enigma and metropolis

the lads go rampant on insignificant symbolism
and compound this with rude soulless obliqueness
everything's coming to a grinding halt
i use such long words

it's all clever stuff
all this charming childish fiddling about aims for the anti-image
but it naturally creates the perfectly malleable image

tantalizing enigma
of the cure
they try to take
everything

but the cure really
they're just trying to sell us something

their product is more artificial than most
this is perhaps part of their
masterplan
but it seems more like their naivity

everything's coming to a grinding halt
everything's coming to a grinding halt
everything's coming to a grinding halt

note how really songs what are made of
murk and marshes
tawdry images
inane realisations
dull dull dull epigrams
sometimes they sound like an avant-garde John Otway
or an ugly spirit

toy drumming
sprightly bass
limited guitar riff
check the sheet out of my favorite book

people don't forget the penman
it's just that in 1979
people shouldn't be allowed to get away
with things like this

i say...

||||| Disintegration |||||

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black and the velvety
up tight against the side of me
and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
and run in thickening streams of greed
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go my party piece

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the aching kiss before i feed
the stench of a love for a younger meat
and the sound that it makes
when it cuts in deep
the holding up on bended knees
the addiction of duplicities
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go my party piece

but i never said i would stay to the end
so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs
pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both us knew
how the ending would be...

so it's all come back round to breaking apart again
breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again
making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again
cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
round and round and round
and it's coming apart again
over and over and over

now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
i'll pull out my heart
and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy
crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
and the three cheers from everyone
dropping through sky
through the glass of the roof
through the roof of your mouth
through the mouth of your eye
through the eye of the needle
it's easier for me to get closer to heaven
than ever feel whole again

i never said i would stay to the end
i knew i would leave you with babies and everything
screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs
pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet
and stains on the memory
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew
how the end always is
how the end always is...

||||| 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 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 everything 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
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 fire
it's a perfect day to throw back your head
and kiss it all goodbye

||||| Doubt |||||

stop my flight to fight
and die
and take a stand to change my life
so savage with red desperation
i clench my hands
you draw your claws
a hidden rage consumes my heart
as fuelled by years of wasted time
i close my eyes
and tense myself
and screaming
throw myself in fury over the edge
and into your blood

tear at flesh
and rip at skin
and smash at doubt
i have to break you
fury drives my vicious blows
i see you fall but still i strike you
again and again
your body falls
the movement is sharp and clear and pure
and gone
i stop and kneel beside you
drained of everything but pain

screaming throw myself in fury
over the edge and into your blood

kiss you once and see you writhe
hold you close and hear you cry
kiss your eyes and finish your life
finish your life

again and again
your body falls
the movement is sharp and clear and pure
and gone
i stop and kneel beside you
knowing i'll murder you again tonight

||||| 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

||||| Dredd Song |||||

never say it's over
never say the end
snytime 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
the one that never turns
never walks away
the one that i can trust to 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

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

||||| Dressing up |||||

going under slowly
it never seems too late
going under
so slow...

dressing up to kiss
dressing up to touch all this
i'm dressing up to dance all week
i'm dressing up to sleep
dressing up to kiss
dressing up to be all this
i could eat your face
i could eat all of you
oh this night will never let me go...

going under slowly
it never seems too late
going under
slowly...

you'll pick me up again

||||| The Drowning Man |||||

she stands twelve feet above the flood
she stares alone across the water
the loneliness grows and slowly
fills her frozen body sliding downwards

one by one her senses die
the memories fade and leave her eyes
still seeing worlds that never were
and one by one the bright birds leave her...

starting at the violent sound
she tries to turn but final noiseless
slips and strikes her soft dark head
the water bows receives her and drowns her at its ease...

i would have left the world all bleeding
could i only help you love
the fleeting shapes so many years ago
so young and beautiful and brave

everything was true
it couldn't be a story...
i wish it was all true
i wish it couldn't be a story

the words all left me lifeless
hoping breathing like the drowning man
oh fucshia! you leave me
breathing like the drowning man
breathing like the drowning man
