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

||||| The Perfect Girl |||||

you're such a strange girl
i think you come from another world
you're such a strange girl
i really don't understand a word
you're such a strange girl
i'd like to shake you around and around
you're such a strange girl
i'd like to turn you all upside down

you're such a strange girl
the way you look like you do
you're such a strange girl
i want to be with you

i think i'm falling
i think i'm falling in
i think i'm falling in love with you
with you

||||| Perfect Murder |||||

move inside my daydream
like fingers in a glove
twisting round and round and round
round and round and round with love!
the meeker sleeker circle girls dressed in docile white
spinning on a hill they follow the dracula kite
the first idea flew thin and uninvited from the sky
i reached out my hands and held the knife of ice
very thin red water flowed underneath my skin
i turned their eyes blue children
the perfect murder
wait until the darkest coldest summer nights
that's when it starts
but if you blink you'll miss the fun
you'll lose their pretty hearts

||||| Pictures of You |||||

i've been looking so long at these pictures of you
that i almost believe that they're real
i've been living so long with my pictures of you
that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel

remembering you standing quiet in the rain
as i ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close
how i always held close in your fear

remembering you running soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
and screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky
and you finally found all your courage to let it all go

remembering you fallen into my arms
crying for the death of your heart
you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark

remembering you how you used to be
slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything
hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes but i never see anything

if only i'd thought of the right words
i could have held on to your heart
if only i'd thought of the right words
i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you

looking so long at these pictures of you
but i never hold on to your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more
than to never feel the breaking apart all my pictures of you

||||| Piggy in the Mirror |||||

shapes in the drink like christ
cracks in the pale blue wall
i'm walking slowly and quickly but always away
twisting twisting to the floor

flowers in your mouth and the same dry song
the routine from laughter land
sixteen white legs and a row of teeth
they watch you in secrecy

you're dying for the hope is gone
from here we go nowhere again
i'm trapped in my face and i'm changing too much
i can't climb out the way i fell in

jump with me
for that old forgotten dance
the midnight sun will burn you up
your life is cold
your life is hard
your life is too much for words

these occasions are such a relief
another point another view to send
hey hey hey!
we start to talk
and it's all so safe...
i feed you in my dreams
footsteps on a wire
high above my head
the stain reveals my real intention
i'm the waiting beast
i'm the twisted nerve
as i dance dance
back to the body in my bed

look at the piggy
piggy in the mirror

||||| Pillbox Tales |||||

electric line
racing time
fire down the wall
spinning around
the killing ground
it makes you look so small

henna years
the stinging tears
flesh on the railway track
the screaming queen
on the tv screen
is never coming back

don't suffer no more
just step inside and listen
listen to my pillbox tales

your special days
your winning ways
you're living out the past
you're lying lies
and tying ties
and running much too fast
but you feel so sick
if you run too quick
and wishing every day
wishing you were all alone
wishing you were years away

don't suffer no more
just step inside and listen
listen to my pillbox tales

||||| A Pink Dream |||||

rio sunrise sucking on a straw
i rub my head and stagger out the door
and head into the bright new beautiful day
and the way she pulls me in
sucks my breath away

i asked her for some time
and she just made me it
i asked her maybe why?
and she just gave me it

never smile
never stare
she doesn't seem to care at all
never cry
never scream
she doesn't really seem to need me at all...

fourteen weeks i stay away from home
a hundred days a part of me unknown
apart in pink and perfect moments play
and as a wonder of the world
she sucks my breath away

i asked her for some time
and she just made me it
i asked her maybe why?
and she just gave me it
so i asked her could be heaven?
and she just prayed me it...

she didn't want to know my name
she didn't want to know how long we had together
spending time as if tomorrow never comes
i didn't want to know the end
i didn't want to go but slowly found me home again
and slow again tomorrow comes

but it was all so far away
and so long ago
i hardly ever think about her anymore
except sometimes when the summer twilight breeze
carries me the scent of faraway rain
i remember...
and she still sucks my breath away

||||| Plainsong |||||

"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world" you said
"and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled for a second

"i think i'm old and i'm feeling pain" you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the world" you said
"and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled for a second

sometimes you make me feel
like i'm living at the edge of the world
like i'm living at the edge of the world
"it's just the way i smile" you said

||||| Plastic Passion |||||

plastic passion is a hard to handle
plastic passion is a sold out scandal
oh! it's a plastic passion

plastic passion is the ladies lover
plastic passion is the marble mother
oh! it's a plastic passion

plastic passion is a diamond delight
plastic passion is the nadir of night
oh! it's a plastic passion

plastic passion is a hycoscine heart
plastic passion is a transparent tart
oh! it's a plastic passion

plastic passion is a gold guarantee
this plastic passion is murdering me
oh! it's a plastic passion

||||| Play |||||

day after day
i let you down
promise you to change
then change my mind
and every time i promise you
it will all be fine
it won't be like this next time

the days you wait
turn into years
always wait
helpless tears
hopeless nights
and all the fears
it will always be like this

you give me everything you have
hoping it will someday be enough
to melt my heart
to make me fall in love

day after day
i let you down
promise you to change it all
then change my mind
and every time i promise you
soon be fine
it won't be like this next time

but tonight we play i think
the final act
i push too hard
and you crack
walk away
don't look back
this time you've really gone

you give me everything you have
knowing it can never be enough
my heart's too old
too hard
too cold
for your love

||||| Play for Today |||||

it's not a case of doing what's right
it's just the way i feel that matters
tell me i'm wrong
i don't really care

it's not a case of share and share alike
i take what i require
i don't understand...
you say it's not fair

you expect me to act like a lover
consider my moves and deserve the reward
to hold you in my arms
and wait...
for something to happen

it's not a case of telling the truth
some lines just fit the situation
you call me a liar
you would anyway

it's not a case of aiming to please
you know you're always crying
it's just your part
in the play for today

||||| Pornography |||||

a hand in my mouth
a life spills into the flowers
we all look so perfect
as we all fall down
in an electric glare
the old man cracks with age
she found his last picture
in the ashes of the fire
an image of the queen
echoes round the sweating bed
sour yellow sounds inside my head
in books
and film
s and in life
and in heaven
the sound of slaughter
as your body turns

but it's too late

one more day like today and i'll kill you
a desire for flesh
and real blood
i'll watch you drown in the shower
pushing my life through your open eyes

i must fight this sickness
find a cure
i must fight this sickness...

||||| Possession |||||

the other one feeds on my hesitation
crawls inside my trepidation
buries his claws in my dislocation
whispering me to lose control

i take a step and over my shoulder
his raw, white eyes shine wide and bold
his snow white thighs press close and cold
murmuring me to let him go...

to let him go...

the other one thrives on my desperation
fills me up with my intoxication
sinks his teeth in my deviation
softening me to lose control
i hold my mouth and taste his breath
hissing, breathing up the scent
snakes itself inside my head
sickening me to let him go...
to let him go... to let him go...

i take a step and over my shoulder
his pained white eyes shine wide and bolder
the same white thighs press close and colder
murdering me to let him go...

i try to resist the bruise of kiss
i twist to deny the blood of bliss
but I always feel myself becoming his
and the last thing I remember
it isn't me, it isn't me, it isn't me...
but then, it never is...

||||| Prayers for Rain |||||

you shatter me
your grip on me
a hold on me
so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense
of hopelessness
and prayers for rain

i suffocate
i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines
but desolate
and drab the hours
all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for the rain

you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain
so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness
and prayers for rain

i deteriorate
i live in dirt
and nowhere glows
but drearily
and tired the hours
all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for the rain

||||| Primary |||||

the innocence of sleeping children
dressed in white and slowly dreaming
stops all time
i slow my steps and start to blur
so many years have filled my heart
i never thought i'd say those words

the further we go
and older we grow
the more we know
the less we show

the very first time i saw your face
i thought of a song
and quickly changed the tune
the very first time i touched your skin
i thought of a story
and rushed to reach the end too soon

oh remember
please don't change

and so the fall came
thirteen years a shiny ring
and how i could forget your name
the air no longer in my throat
another perfect lie is choked
but it always feels the same

so they close together
dressed in red and yellow
innocent forever
sleeping children in their blue soft rooms
still dream...

||||| Punish Me with Kisses |||||

your morning smile of torture holds me in it's grip
you trace the taste of yesterday the bruise upon my lip
you touch my eyes and hypnotize and slip inside my heart
i wait for this forever but we always fall apart
you want to hold me closer
and secretly entice
you take the size of shadowed men
and punish me with kisses every night
this espionage is sweeter now
now that we're alone but you meet your eyes and then despise
all we call our own
you write my name in lipstick on the mirror as you leave
to stay would be too dangerous
to break the make believe...

||||| Purple Haze |||||

purple haze
all in my brain
lately things don't seem the same
acting funny but i don't know why
excuse me while i kiss the sky
purple haze all around
don't know if i'm climbin up or down
am i happy or in misery
whatever it is
that girl put a spell on me

help me help me
purple haze all in my eyes
don't know if it's day or night
you got me blown
blown my mind
is it tomorrow or the end of time
help me help me

||||| Push |||||

go go go!
push him away
no no no!
don't let him stay...

he gets inside to stare at her
the seeping mouth
the mouth that knows
the secret you
always you
a smile to hide the fear away
oh! smear this man across the walls
like strawberries and cream
it's the only way to be

exactly the same clean room
exactly the same clean bed
but i've stayed away too long this time
and i've got too big to fit this time...
