Just Like Heaven - The Cure

"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it and I promise you
I promise that I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you?
That I'm in love with you?"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream...

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone
Alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

Lovesong - The Cure

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Halo - The Cure

I never felt like this with anyone before
You only have to smile and I'm dizzy
You make the world go round
A thousand times an hour
Just touch my head
And send me spinning

I never felt like this with anyone before
You show me colours and I'm crying
You hold my eyes in yours
And open up the world
I can't believe all this

I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

I never felt like this with anyone before
You fill my head all full of rainbows
And all the rainbows end
Is every step you take
Just to be with you forever

I want to keep this feeling
Deep inside of me
I want you always in my heart
You are everything

JUPITER CRASH - The Cure

SHE FOLLOWS ME DOWN TO THE SOUND OF THE SEA
SLIPS TO THE SAND AND STARES UP AT ME
"IS THIS HOW IT HAPPENS? IS THIS HOW IT FEELS?
IS THIS HOW A STAR FALLS?
IS THIS HOW A STAR FALLS?"

THE NIGHT TURNS AS I TRY TO EXPLAIN
IRRESISTABLE ATTRACTION AND ORBITAL PLANE
"OR MAYBE IT'S MORE LIKE A MOTH TO A FLAME?"
SHE BRUSHES MY FACE WITH HER SMILE
"FORGET ABOUT STARS FOR A WHILE... "
AS SHE MELTS...

MEANWHILE MILLIONS OF MILES AWAY IN SPACE
THE INCOMING COMET BRUSHES JUPITER'S FACE
AND DISAPPEARS AWAY WITH BARELY A TRACE...

"WAS THAT IT? WAS THAT THE JUPITER SHOW?
IT KINDA WASN'T QUITE WHAT I'D HOPED FOR YOU KNOW... "
AND PULLING AWAY SHE STANDS UP SLOW
AND ROUND HER THE NIGHT TURNS
ROUND HER THE NIGHT TURNS...

YEAH THAT WAS IT
THAT WAS THE JUPITER CRASH
DRAWN TOO CLOSE AND GONE IN A FLASH
JUST A FEW BRUISES IN THE REGION OF THE SPLASH...

SHE LEFT TO THE SOUND OF THE SEA
SHE JUST DRIFTED AWAY FROM ME
SO MUCH FOR GRAVITY...

WAITING... - The Cure

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?

Pictures of You ~ The Cure

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

That doesn't sound like Bill Haley and the Comets

Neither does it sound anything like Tommy Dorsey

Evil Hillbilly. I don't think Bill Haley and the Comets or Tommy Dorsey for that matter had banjos in their music.

I love it...gives me such sweet thoughts.

I find it comforting and depressing at the same time. Yes, I know I need help.

I hadn't looked at it in the depressing sense...I just think the reminiscing is sweet. I'll go with comforting.

You really want me now don't you?

Isn't it obvious?

Re: How Soon Is Now - The Smiths

Haven't heard much of the Smiths. I'll have to check it out.
