YES! Robert Smith beating Barbara Striesand's ass!! The best South Park episode EVER!

"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

wow. I can't wait to see them!

K, "Disintegration" is one of the best albums ever, but I have to admit, this song's one of my all-time Cure faves as well..

"Open"

i really don't know what i'm doing here
i really think i should've gone to bed tonight but...
just one drink
and there're some people to meet you
i think that you'll like them
i have to say we do
and i promise in less than an hour we will honestly go
now why don't i just get you another
while you just say hello...

yeah just say hello...

so i'm clutching it tight
another glass in my hand
and my mouth and the smiles
moving up as i stand up
too close and too wide
and the smiles are too bright
and i breathe in too deep
and my head's getting light
but the air is getting heavier and it's closer
and i'm starting to sway
and the hands on all my shoulders don't have names
and they won't go away
so here i go
here i go again...

falling into strangers
and it's only just eleven
ans i'm staring like a child
until someone slips me heaven
and i take it on my knees
just like a thousand times before
and i get transfixed
that fixed
and i'm just looking at the floor
just looking at the floor
yeah i look at the floor

and i'm starting to laugh
like an animal in pain
and i've got blood on my hands
and i've got hands in my brain
and the first short retch
leaves me gasping for more
and i stagger over screaming
on my way to the floor
and i'm back on my back
with the lights and the lies in my eyes
and the colour and the music's too loud
and my head's all the wrong size
so here i go
here i go again...

yeah i laugh and i jump
and i sing and i laugh
and i dance and i laugh
and i laugh and i laugh
and i can't seem to think
where this is
who i am
why i'm keeping this going
keep pouring it out
keep pouring it down
and the way the rain comes down hard
that's the way i feel inside...

i can't take it anymore
this it i've become
this is it like i get
when my life's going numb
i just keep moving my mouth
i just keep moving my feet
i say i'm loving you to death
like i'm losing my breath
and all the smiles that i wear
and all the games that i play
and all the drinks that i mix
and i drink until i'm sick
and all the faces that i make
and all the shapes that i throw
and all the people i meet
and all the words that i know
makes me sick to the heart
oh i feel so tired...

and the way the rain comes down hard
that's how i feel inside...

Back on a happier note...

i can sense it
something important
is about to happen
it's coming up

it takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

we just met
and i know i'm a bit too intimate
but something is coming up
and we're both included

it takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

i don't know my future after this weekend
and i don't want to

it takes courage to enjoy it
the hardcore and the gentle
big time sensuality

...the quintessential drunk song...

a happy song for Carrie

R.E.M. HOPE

you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
you know that it sounds childish
that you've dreamt of alligators.
you hope that we are with you
and you hope you're recognized
you want to go forever
you see it in my eyes.
I'm lost in the confusion
and it doesn't seem to matter
you really can't believe it
and you hope it's getting better

you want to trust the doctors
their procedure is the best
but the last try was a failure
and the intern was a mess.
and they did the same to Matthew
and he bled 'til sunday night
they're saying don't be frightened
but you're weakened by the sight of it
you lock into a pattern
and you know that it's the last ditch
you're trying to see through it
and it doesn't make sense
but they're saying don't be frightened
and they're killing alligators
and they're hog-tied
and accepting of the struggle

you want to trust religion
and you know it's allegory
but the people who are followers
have written their own story.
so you look up to the heavens
and you hope that it's a spaceship
and it's something from your childhood
you're thinking don't be frightened

you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever
you want to go out friday
and you want to go forever.
and you want to cross your dna
to cross your dna with something reptile.
and you're questioning the sciences
and questioning religion
you're looking like an idiot
and you no longer care.
and you want bridge the schism,
a built-in mechanism to protect you.
and you're looking for salvation
and you're looking for deliverance
you're looking for deliverance
you're looking like av idiot
and you no longer care.
you want to climb the ladder
you want to see forever.
you want to go out friday
you want to go forever.

CarrieMpls said:

Oh I'm coming in June for sure. Celebration or not. Hopefully it'll be when you're there. j/k

I'm bringing my Cure collection with me!

We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire
And sleep for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All these years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
We missed you hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
Wonderfully pretty!
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to dinner huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire
Get up for awhile
It's the grooviest thing
It's the perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
And always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

I love you... let's go...
Oh... solid gone...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?

TRON said:

YOU'D BETTER BE KIDDING, MISTER!!!

endorphin74 said:

I am. Holy shit! That's next month!

TRON said:

oh great...now i'm gonna be tryina study with THIS boucing through my head!

TRON said:

crazy, huh?!

TRON said:

That's one of my all time fav songs. The lyrics and the
music blend so incredibly well. You get the different
vocalists and in the end you get that mellow guitar in
there whilst the song just struts on and on and on.

Best song on NearlyGod for me.

IstenSzek said:

Me too. Closely followed by "I Be The Prophet".

Tricky makes you see the beat on "Poems". It's like a drunk pony that can barely walk with ghosts swirling around its head.

TRON said:

Your track list is absolutely perfect. Perfect. Except you're missing 6 Different Ways, which is one of my faves.

And endo's right, you had better be kidding. We gots to coordinate!! We've got a Europe trip planned and if you DARE come here while we're gone, I'll... I'll...

Dang Carrie, your thread is a hit! Nearly 50 posts in an hour.

And especially while the org is dead on a Friday night. Good one!

CarrieMpls said:

Check track 23 on disc 1. It's there. I worked long and hard on this set. It better be perfect!!!

I promise I will come either before or after your Europe trip. Mark my words.

TRON said:

even if it IS kinna in the worng forum





someone needs to make me turn off the computer and go study...

TRON said:

Words Marked!

endorphin74 said:

Fuck it. I'm supposed to be sleeping but I guess I kinda forgot about that. Just keep thinking about wonderful music all night. It's a much better way to pass the midnight shift.

TRON said:

I stand corrected. Perfect as is.

And ! I'm holding you to your promise!

CarrieMpls said:

So Carrie, what are your favorite Cure albums and songs?

How long have you been into them?

Ever see them live?

Where do they rank in your favorite artists?

TRON said:

maybe I'll go stare at my book while thinking about good music..that's typically what I do while "studying" anyways!
