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

||||| Wailing Wall |||||

the holy city breathed
like a dying man
it moved with hopeful tears
with the tears of the blind

and on and on as the night drew in
through broken streets
that sucked me in
my feet were bare and cut with stones
with walking to the promised land

i pushed through crowds
through seas of prayer
through twisting hands and choking air
a vulture at the wailing wall
i circled...
waiting...

||||| Waiting |||||

tonight i'll dream a girl called home
and wake up in tears
all on my own
with the sun coming up
and my head against stone
balcony dressed and drawn
tonight i'll dream a room so far away
frost pale blue
the colour of a perfect day
and then screw up my face
in the mirror
as i wait for the others to call

but if i don't believe in magic
and i don't believe in blood
and i don't believe in miracles
and i don't believe in love
then how come i believe so soon
in a cherry tree girl
and a dust blue room?

tonight i'll dream an hour so long
shadow soft smiles
and everyone loves me
to open my eyes
in a drag myself face undone
hard back into the world
tonight i'll dream a dream i dream
without even trying i'm flying i scream
as i practice the move
i spit at my pillow stained face
and the others all come

but if i don't believe in magic
and i don't believe in blood
and i don't believe in miracles
and i don't believe in love
then how come i believe it seems
in a girl called home
and a world called dreams?

||||| The Walk |||||

i called you after midnight
then ran until i burst
i passed the howling woman
and stood outside your door

we walked around a lake
and woke up in the rain
and everyone turned over
troubled in their dreams again

visiting time is over
and so we walk away
and both play dead then cry out loud
why we always cry this way?

i kissed you in the water
and made your dry lips sing
i saw you look like a japanese baby
in an instant i remembered everything...

i called you after midnight
then ran until my heart burst
i passed the howling woman
and stood outside your door

i kissed you in the water
and made your dry lips sing
i saw you look like a japanese baby
in an instant i remembered everything...

||||| Want |||||

i'm always wanting more
anything i haven't got
everything i want it all
i just can't stop
planning all my days away
but never finding ways to stay
or ever feel enough today
tomorrow must be
more drink more dreams more bed more drugs
more lust more lies more head more love
more fear more fun more pain more flesh
more stars more smiles more fame more sex
but however hard i want
i know deep down inside
i'll never really get more hope
or any more time
any more time
any more time
any more time

i want the sky to fall in
i want lightning and thunder
i want blood instead of rain
i want the world to make me wonder
i want to walk on water
take a trip to the moon
give me all this and give me it soon
more drink more dreams more drugs
more lust more lies more love
but however hard i want
i know deep down inside
i'll never really get more hope
or any more time
any more time
any more time
any more time

||||| Watching Me Fall |||||

i've been watching me fall for it seems like years
watching me grow small, i watch me disappear
slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes
yeah slipping out the ordinary me
into someone else's life
into someone else's life...

there's a thin white cold new moon
and the snow is coming down
and the neon bright tokyo lights
flicker through the crowd
i've been drifting around for hours
and i'm lost and i'm tired
when a whisper in my ear insatiable breathes
"why don't you follow me inside?..."

yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her hair is black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
is always young... always young
the night is always young...

yeah i've been seeing them strip to the bone
in the mirror on the wall
seeing her swallow him whole like it's not me at all
she holds out her hands
and i follow her down to my knees
and the sucking inside insatiable smiles
"you will forget yourself in me..."

yeah the room is small, the room is bright
her eyes are black, the bed is white
and the night is always young
and the night goes on and on
and the night is always young
and the night is never over
and over and over and over and over...

and then it's gone
and then it's gone
yeah then it's gone...

yeah it's a cruel mean cold new day
and outside the snow is still coming down
and in the blood red tokyo bed
i watch me coming round
she pulled him down for hours
deeper than i've ever been
and as i fall in the mirror on the wall
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream
i'm watching me scream

yeah i've been watching me go for it must be years
watching me get slow, i watch me disappear
and one day, yeah i know, i won't come back at all...
and always over and over in his ordinary eyes
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall
i'm watching me fall

'you look like you could do with a friend' she said
'you look like you could use a hand
someone to make you smile' she said
'someone who can understand
share your trouble comfort you
hold you close and i can do
all of these i think you need me
here with you'

'you look like you could do with a sister' she said
'you look like you need a girl to call your own...
like fabulous! fabulous! call me fabulous!'
and rubbing her hands so slow
'you stare at me all strange' she said
'are you hungry for more?'
'i've had enough' i said 'please leave me alone
please go'

it doesn't touch me at all
it doesn't touch me at all

'you know that you could do with a friend' she said
'you know that you could use a word
like feel or follow or fuck' she said
and laughing away as she turned
'you've everything but no one like the last man on earth'
'and when i die' i said 'i'll leave you it all'
door closes leaves me cold

it doesn't touch me at all
it doesn't touch me at all

'you really do need a sister' she said
'you really do need a girl to call your own...
like wonderful! wonderful! call me wonderful!'
and running her hands so slow
'you stare at me all strange' she said
'are you hungry for more?'
'i've had enough' i said 'please leave me alone
please go please go'

||||| Where the Birds Always Sing |||||

the world is neither fair nor unfair
the idea is just a way for us to understand
but the world is neither fair nor unfair
so one survives the others die
and you always want a reason why

but the world is neither just nor unjust
it's just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it
no, the world is neither just nor unjust
and though going young so much undone
is a tragedy for everyone

it doesn't speak a plan or any secret thing
no unseen sign or untold truth in anything...
but living on in others, in memories and dreams
is not enough you want everything
another world where the sun always shines
and the birds always sing
always sing...

the world is neither fair nor unfair
the idea is just a way for us to understand
no the world is neither fair nor unfair
so some survive and others die
and you always want a reason why

but the world is neither just nor unjust
it's just us trying to feel that there's some sense in it
no, the world is neither just nor unjust
and though going young so much undone
is a tragedy for everyone

it doesn't mean there has to be a way of things
no special sense that hidden hands are pulling strings
but living on in others, in memories and dreams
is not enough and it never is
you always want so much more than this...

an endless sense of soul and an eternity of love
a sweet mother down below and a just father above
for living on in others, in memories and dreams
is not enough you want everything
another world where the birds always sing
another world where the sun always shines
another world where nothing ever dies...

||||| Why Can't I Be You? |||||

i'll kiss you from your feet
to where your head begins!
you're so perfect!
you're so right as rain!
you make me make me hungry again

everything you do is irresistible
everything you do is simply kissable
why can't i be you?

i'll run around in circles
'til i run out of breath
i'll eat you all up
or i'll just hug you to death
you're so wonderful!
too good to be true!
you make me make me hungry for you

everything you do is simply delicate
everything you do is quite angelicate
why can't i be you?

you turn my head when you turn around
you turn the whole world upside down
i'm smitten i'm bitten i'm hooked i'm cooked
i'm stuck like glue!
you make me make me hungry for you

everything you do is simply dreamy
everything you do is quite delicious
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?
why can't i be you?

you're simply elegant!

||||| World in My Eyes |||||

let me take you on a trip
around the world and back
and you won't have to move
you just sit still
now let your mind do the walking
and let my body do the talking
let me show you the world in my eyes
i'll take you to the highest mountain
to the depths of the deepest sea
we won't need a map, believe me
now let my body do the moving
and let my hands do the soothing
let me show you the world in my eyes
that's all there is
nothing more than you can feel now
that's all there is Let me put you on a ship
on a long, long trip
your lips close to my lips
all the islands in the ocean
all the heaven's in the motion
let me show you the world in my eyes
that's all there is
nothing more than you can touch now
that's all there is
let me show you the world in my eyes

||||| World War |||||

dressed in berlin black
i was only playing
disguise my words to fool you
from what i was saying
mud trench meat stench
the fatherland is looking on
grip you in a luger lock...
this will be the big one

world war
no one would believe me
world war
no one's a winner
no one's a loser
just a dead friend

heaven heaven
give me pride
give me a golden hand
smash them with an iron rule
spit them out like sand
sit and wait
then run like hell
run like hell
one time again
sow the seeds of hate
underneath destruction...
world war
no one would believe me
world war
no one's a winner
no one's a loser
just a dead friend

"she pulls me down just as i'm trying to hide
grabs me by the hair and drags me outside
and starts digging in the dirt...
for a not so early bird it's the only way
for her to get the worm...
