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

||||| Faith |||||

catch me if i fall
i'm losing hold
i can't just carry on this way
and every time
i turn away
lose another blind game
the idea of perfection holds me...
suddenly i see you change
everything at once the same
but the mountain never moves...

rape me like a child
christened in blood
painted like an unknown saint
there's nothing left but hope...
your voice is dead and old
and always empty
trust in me through closing years
perfect moments wait...
if only we could stay
please say the right words
or cry like the stone white clown
and stand lost forever in a happy crowd...

no-one lifts their hands
no-one lifts their eyes
justified with empty words
the party just gets better and better...

i went away alone
with nothing left
but faith

||||| Fascination Street |||||

oh it's opening time
down on fascination street
so let's cut the conversation
and get out for a bit
because i feel it all fading
and paling and i'm begging
to drag you down with me
to kick the last nail in

yeah! i like you in that
like i like you to scream
but if you open your mouth
then i can't be responsible
for quite what goes in
or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair
just pull on your pout

and let's move to the beat
like we know that it's over
if you slip going under
slip over my shoulder
so just pull on your face
just pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time
down on fascination street

so pull on your hair
pull on your pout
cut the conversation
just open your mouth
pull on your face
pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time
down on fascination street

||||| Fear of Ghosts |||||

like a feeling that i'm down
deep inside my heart
like i'm looking out through
splitting blood red
windows in my heart
from a higher up than heaven
and a harder down than stone
shake the fear that always clawing
pulls me clawing down alone
as i spitting splitting blood red
breaking windows in my heart
and the past is taunting
fear of ghosts
is forcing me apart
and the further i get
from the things that i care about
the less i care about
how much further away i get...

i am lost again
with everything gone
and more alone
than i have ever been
i expect you to understand
to feel it too
but i know that even if you will
you cannot ever help me
nor can i
ever help you

||||| 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

||||| Fight |||||

sometimes there's nothing to feel
sometimes there's nothing to hold
sometimes there's no time to run away
sometimes you just feel so old
the times it hurts when you cry
the times it hurts just to breathe
and then it seems like there's no-one left
and all you want is to sleep

fight fight fight
just push it away
fight fight fight
just push it until it breaks
fight fight fight
don't cry at the pain
fight fight fight
or watch yourself burn again

fight fight fight
don't howl like a dog
fight fight fight
just fill up the sky
fight fight fight
fight til you drop
fight fight fight
and never never never stop

fight fight fight
fight fight fight

so when the hurting starts
and when the nightmares begin
remember
you can fill up the sky
you don't have to give in
you don't have to give in

never give in
never give in
never give in

||||| The Figurehead |||||

sharp and open
leave me alone
and sleeping less every night
as the days become heavier and weighted
waiting
in the cold light
a noise
a scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
with spiders inside them
and dust on the lips of a vision of hell
i laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

a hundred other words blind me with your purity
like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
i think about tomorrow
please let me sleep
as i slip down the window
freshly squashed fly
you mean nothing
you mean nothing

i can lose myself in chinese art and american girls
all the time
lose me in the dark
please do it right
run into the night
i will lose myself tomorrow
crimson pain
my heart explodes
my memory in a fire
and someone will listen
at least for a short while...

i can never say no
to anyone but you

too many secrets
too many lies
writhing with hatred
too many secrets
please make it good tonight...
but the same image haunts me
in sequence
in despair of time

i will never be clean again
i touched her eyes
pressed my stained face
i will never be clean again

touch her eyes
press my stained face
i will never be clean again
i will never be clean again

||||| Fire in Cairo |||||

slowly fading blue the eastern hollows catch
the dying sun night time follows
silent and black mirror pool mirrors
the lonely place where i meet you

see your head
in the fading light
and through the dark
your eyes shine bright

and burn like fire
burn like fire in cairo
burn like fire
burn like fire in cairo

shifting crimson veil silken hips slide
under my hand swollen lips whisper my name
and i yearn you take me in your arms
and start to burn

f.i.r.e.i.n.c.a.i.r.o
then the heat disappears
and the mirage
fades away...

f.i.r.e.i.n.c.a.i.r.o

burn like a fire in cairo burn like a fire
blaze like a fire in cairo blaze like a fire
flare with a wonderful light like a fire in cairo
burn like fire burn like fire in cairo

||||| A Foolish Arragement |||||

christabel strips
and slips like a dream
breaking ice with arms that gleam with pain
disdain...
she throws her head
and glides against the stream
throwing me her bravest smile
defiant
glittering
shivering guile

"catching a cold is quick this time
but fish?...
fish may take a while..."

christabel dips and slips from me
and hand pushed deep inside is suddenly free
triumphant
reluctantly
struggling six legs held up for me to see

"don't be so scared
it's nothing new
it's the same old game
only fun with two..."
but fast and over and over
"i can't play this game with you"

everything she tries to tell me
leaves me open mouthed and still
foolishly arrange tomorrow
the way i always will

christabel trips
and grips my hand
but never to be saved...
for a second i understand
and i fall with her...

"i'll never leave you
love you
see you change into the man i want
but it's not for long this thing
it's not for long..."

||||| A Forest |||||

come closer and see
see into the trees
find the girl
while you can
come closer and see
see into the dark
just follow your eyes
just follow your eyes

i hear her voice
calling my name
the sound is deep
in the dark
i hear her voice
and start to run
into the trees
into the trees

into the trees

suddenly i stop
but i know it's too late
i'm lost in a forest
all alone
the girl was never there
it's always the same
i'm running towards nothing
again and again and again...

||||| Foxy Lady |||||

you know you're a cute little heart-breaker
you know you're a sweet little love-maker
i want to take you home
i won't do you no harm
you've got to be all mine
all mine
i see you come down on the scene, foxy
you make me want to get up and scream, foxy

i've made up my mind
i'm tired of wasting all my precious time
you've got to be all mine
all mine

||||| Friday I'm in Love |||||

i don't care if monday's blue
tuesday's grey and wednesday too
thursday i don't care about you
it's friday i'm in love

monday you can fall apart
tuesday wednesday break my heart
thursday doesn't even start
it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

i don't care if mondays black
tuesday wednesday heart attack
thursday never looking back
it's friday i'm in love

monday you can hold your head
tuesday wednesday stay in bed
or thursday watch the walls instead
it's friday i'm in love

saturday wait
and sunday always comes too late
but friday never hesitate...

dressed up to the eyes it's a wonderful surprise
to see your shoes and your spirits rise
throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound
and as sleek as a shriek spinning round and round
always take a big bite it's such a gorgeous sight
to see you eat in the middle of the night
you can never get enough enough of this stuff
it's friday i'm in love

||||| From the Edge of the Deep Green Sea |||||

every time we do this
i fall for her
wave after wave after wave
it's all for her
"i know this can't be wrong" i say
(and i'll lie to keep her happy)
"as long as i know that you know
that today i belong right here with you"
right here with you...

and so we watch the sun come up
from the edge of the deep green sea
and she listens like her head's on fire
like she wants to believe in me
so i try
"put your hands in the sky
surrender
remember
we'll be here forever
and we'll never say goodbye..."

i've never been so
colourfully-see-through-head before
i've never been so
wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more
and all i want is to keep it like this
you and me alone
a secret kiss
and don't go home
don't go away
don't let this end
please stay...
not just for today...

"never never never never never let me go" she says
"hold me like this for a hundred thousand million days"
but suddenly she slows
and looks down at my breaking face
"why do you cry?
what did i say?"
"but it's just rain" i smile
brushing my tears away...

i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried
over you

how much more can we use it up?
drink it dry?
take this drug?
looking for something forever gone
but something we will always want...

"why why why are you letting me go" she says
"i feel you pulling back
i feel you changing shape"
and just as i'm breaking free
she hangs herself in front of me
slips her dress like a flag to the floor
and hands in the sky
surrenders it all...

i wish i could just stop
i know another moment will break my heart
too many tears
too many times
too many years i've cried for you
it's always the same
wake up in the rain
head in pain
hung in shame
a different name
same old game
love in vain
and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away
from home again...

||||| The Funeral Party |||||

two pale figures
ache in silence
timeless
in the quiet ground
side by side
in age and sadness

i watched
and acted wordlessly
as piece by piece
you performed your story
moving through an unknown past
dancing at the funeral party

memories of childrens' dreams
lie lifeless
fading
lifeless
hand in hand with fear and shadows
crying at the funeral party

i heard a song
and turned away
as piece by piece
you performed your story
noiselessly across the floor
dancing at the funeral party
