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

||||| There Is No If... |||||

remember the first time i told you i love you
it was raining hard and you never heard
you sneezed! and i had to say it over
"i said i love you" i said... you didn't say a word
just held your hands to my shining eyes
and i watched as the rain ran through your fingers
held your hands to my shining eyes
and smiled as you kissed me...

"if you die" you said "so do i" you said...
and it starts the day you make the sign
"tell me i'm forever yours and you're forever mine
forever mine..."

"if you die" you said "so do i" you said...
and it starts the day you cross that line
"swear i will always be yours
and you'll always be mine
you'll always be mine
always be mine..."

remember the last time i told you i love you
it was warm and safe in our perfect world
you yawned and i had to say it over
"i said i love you" i said... you didn't say a word
just held your hands to your shining eyes
and i watched as the tears ran through your fingers
held your hands to your shining eyes and cried...

"if you die" you said "so do i" you said...
but it ends the day you see how it is
there is no always forever...
just this... just this...

"if you die" you said "so do i" you said
but it ends the day you understand
there is no if...
just this
and there is no if...
just this
and there is no if...

||||| This Green City |||||

someone's evil laugh shoots down my back
shapeless and ageing we start to run
through the tangle of your broken words
this cheap impulse falls so dry
in the maze i burn down
turn... you turn my skin around
wishing my eyes could look down
down on me...
stairs fall like jewels
as we near the door
you fold through my neck
and arms like crystal
so black, so black with charm and breath
we turn to face the dying sun...
this green city rains down on me
this green city rains down on me

||||| This Is a Lie |||||

how each of us decides
i've never been sure
the part we play
the way we are
how each of us denies any other way in the world
why each of us must choose
i've never understood
one special friend
one true love
why each of us must lose everyone else in the world

however unsure
however unwise
day after day play out our lives
however confused
pretending to know to the end

but this isn't truth this isn't right
this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
this is a lie

how each of us believes
i've never really known
in heaven unseen and hell unknown
how each of us dreams to understand anything at all
why each of us decides
i've never been sure
the part we take
the way we are
why each of us denies every other way in the world

however unsure
however unwise
day after day play out our lives
however confused
pretending to know to the end

but this isn't truth this isn't right
this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
this is a lie
this isn't truth this isn't right
this isn't love this isn't life this isn't real
this is a lie

||||| This Twilight Garden |||||

i lift my lips from kissing you
to kiss the sky
cloud soft and blue
and slow the sun melts down
into your golden words for me

i lift my hands from touching you
to touch the wind that whispers through
this twilight garden
turns into a world
where dreams are real

no one will ever take your place
i am lost in you
no one will ever take your place
so in love with you

i lift my eyes from watching you
to watch the star rise shine onto
your dreaming face and dreaming smile
you're dreaming worlds for me

i lift my lips from kissing you
and kiss the sky wide deepest blue
and slow the moon swims up
into your golden words for me

no one will ever take your place
i am lost in you
no one will ever take your place
so in love with you

||||| A Thousand Hours |||||

for how much longer can i howl into this wind?
for how much longer can i cry like this?
a thousand wasted hours a day
just to feel my heart for a second
a thousand hours just thrown away
just to feel my heart for a second

for how much longer can i howl into this wind?

||||| Three |||||

scream...

||||| Three Imaginary Boys |||||

walk across the garden in the footsteps of my shadow
see the lights out no one's home
in amongst the statues stare at nothing in the garden moves...
can you help me?

close my eyes and hold so tightly
scared of what the morning brings
waiting for tomorrow never comes
deep inside the empty feeling
all the night time leaves me
three imaginary boys

slipping through the door hear my heart beat in the hallway echoes
round and round inside my head
drifting up the stairs i see the steps behind me disappearing...
can you help me?

close my eyes and hold so tightly
scared of what the morning brings
waiting for tomorrow never comes
deep inside the empty feeling
all the night time leaves me
three imaginary boys
sing in my sleep sweet child
the moon will change your mind...

see the cracked reflection standing still
before the bedroom mirror over my shoulder
but no one's there whispers in the silence pressing close behind me
pressing close behind
can you help me?
can you help me?

||||| The Three Sisters |||||

(instrumental)

||||| Throw Your Foot |||||

it's funny how your face gets bigger
gets bigger in this atmosphere
and your mouth goes dry
with every move you try
it's so funny here!

jumping around
click click click
when you're so slow
it's like the world is stopping...

fifteen times i try this
and every time i faint
you look at me and start to tell the joke
about the man who couldn't stop hiccupping...

it would be so perfect
if you would just fall out the window!
throw your foot away!
you're tired and your face is grey
like the sad old fool you groove...

hey hey hey!!!

||||| The Tightrope |||||

(instrumental)

||||| To the Sky |||||

one perfect morning i was all alone
listening to the blaze of summer
drifting
i was falling
i was floating in a golden haze
breathing in the sky blue sounds
of memories of other days

and in my dreams i was a child
flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
and i was floating through the colours of a sky
up to the stars and angels

up up up to heaven
up up up forever
up up up to heaven
up up up forever

turning in my climb
i looked down on a lake
and traced upon the water there
i saw your face
and sang in recollection
of the times we shared...
then pushed on ever upward
to the sky

and in my dreams i was a child
flowers in my mouth and in my eyes
and i was floating through the colours of a sky
up to the stars and angels

up up up to heaven
up up up forever
up up up to heaven
up up up forever

||||| To Wish Impossible Things |||||

remember how it used to be
when the sun would fill the sky
remember how we used to feel
those days would never end
those days would never end

remember how it used to be
when the stars would fill the sky
remember how we used to dream
those nights would never end
those nights would never end

it was the sweetness of your skin
it was the hope of all we might have been
that filled me with the hope to wish
impossible things
to wish impossible things

but now the sun shines cold
and all the sky is grey
the stars are dimmed by clouds and tears
and all i wish is gone away
all i wish is gone away
all i wish is gone away

||||| The Top |||||

"i don't care"
if only i could say that
and not feel so sick and scared
"i don't care"
if only i could say that
if only my eyes would close...

"it's jesus brilliant"
you used to laugh
"walking these gorgeous blocks...
this top is the place
where nobody goes
you just imagine
you just imagine it all..."

every day i lie here
and know that it's true

all i really want is you

please come back
please come back
like all the other ones do...

please come back
all of you...

||||| Torture |||||

i'm in the room without a light
the room without a view
i'm here for one more treacherous night
another night with you
it tortures me to move my hands
to try to move at all
and pulled my skin so tight
it screams and screams and screams
and pulls some more

hanging like this
like a vampire bat
hanging like this
hanging on your back
i'm helpless again

my body is cut and broken
it's shattered and sore
my body is cut wide open
i can't stand anymore
it tortures me to move my hands
to try to move at all
and pulled my skin so tight
it screams and screams and screams
and screams for more

hanging like this
like a vampire bat
hanging like this
hanging on your back

oh it's torture
and i'm almost there
it's torture
but i'm almost there
it's torture
but i'm almost there
it's torture
but i'm almost there...

||||| Trap |||||

drowning like a fly in my drink
you drone about being on the brink
but i really don't care what you think
oh i'm sick of it all
sick of it all

i hate the way it's always the same
hate recrimination and blame
and you just wait for me to fuck up again
oh i'm sick of it all
sick of it all

the ways you try and put me down
sweet revenge for the things i've done
the ways you try and twist me around
"give me a taste of my own medicine"

drowning like a fly in my drink
you whine about being out of synch
but i really don't care what you think
oh i'm sick of it all
sick of it all

i hate the way you want me to be
hate regret and humility
and you just wait for me to fall at your feet
oh i'm sick of it all
sick of it all

the ways you try and run me down
make me pay for the things i've been
the ways you try and push me around
all you want to do is win

any love you once felt for me
has turned into this travesty
of selfishness and jealousy
so why can't you just let me go?
any love you once felt for me
has turned into this travesty
of selfishness and jealousy
so why can't i just let you go?

||||| Treasure |||||

she whispers
"please remember me
when i am gone from here"
she whispers
"please remember me
but not with tears...
remember i was always true
remember that i always tried
remember i loved only you
remember me and smile...
for it's better to forget
than to remember me
and cry"

"remember i was always true
remember that i always tried
remember i loved only you
remember me and smile...
for it's better to forget
than to remember me
and cry..."

||||| Trust |||||

there is no one left in the world
that i can hold onto
there is really no one left at all
there is only you
and if you leave me now
you leave all that we were undone
there is really no one left
you are the only one

and still the hardest part for you
to put your trust in me
i love you more than i can say
why won't you just believe?
