my english class

For some time in my life I liked The Cure very much. I liked Robert Smith’s weirdness and also his outstanding haircut. I also liked that aura of mistery and goth atmosphere. I though their music was fresh air and enjoyed dancing to their songs (some of them)

Here I offer some videos so that you can enjoy their music and wonderful lyrics.

 BOYS DON’T CRY (1983)

i would say i’m sorry if I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind
I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don’t cry
Boys…don’t cryI would break down at your feet and beg forgivness, plead with you
But I know that it’s too late and now there’s nothing I can do
So I try to laugh about it, cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it, hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don’t cry
Boys…don’t cry

I would tell you that I loved you if I thought that you would stay
But I know that it’s no use and you’ve already gone away
Misjudged your limit
Pushed too too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me moore
Now I would do most anything to get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing, hiding the tears in my eyes
Cause boys don’t cry
Boys…don’t cry

LULLABY

on candystripe legs spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the
room! and there is nothing i can do when i
realise with freight that the spiderman is having
me for dinner tonight

quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my
eyes “be still be calm be quiet now my precious
boy don’t struggle like that or i will only love
you more for it’s much too late to get away or
turn on the light the spiderman is having you
for dinner tonight”

and i feel like i’m being eaten by a thousand
million shivering furry holes and i know that in
the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
and the spiderman is always hungry…
