I would've loved to include these too. It's so hard when they have like 200 brilliant songs. Add 10 more to your list if you like. I make exceptions for friends. wink

Only one fave:

HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE!


You want to know why I hate you?
Well I'll try and explain...
You remember that day in Paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'd always think the same
And dreamed that dream
To be two souls as one
And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Outside a glittering building
Of glittering glass and burning light...
And in the road before us
Stood a weary greyish man
Who held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than the air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said
"How beautiful!
She shimmers like a star!"
The childs eyes uttered nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deep into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Until you spoke
And showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from me!"

The fathers eyes said "Beautiful!
How beautiful you are!"
The boys eyes said
"How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
The child's eyes uttered joy
And stilled my heart with sadness
For the way we are

And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no-one ever knows or loves another

Or loves another
rainbow

"...literal people are scary, man
literal people scare me
out there trying to rid the world of its poetry
while getting it wrong fundamentally

Alright...

Catch (makes me incredibly happy every time I hear it)
Close to Me (this song was on the radio when I had my first kiss)
Boys Don't Cry (from MTV unplugged, gut-wrenchingly sad version)
Untitled ( sad )
Disintegration (no explination necessary)
Love Cats (so happy to dance to!)
6 Different Ways (I love the stark arrangement and his voice over top of it all)
Mint Car (HAPPY!)
Like Cockatoos (a weird choice, I know, but I love singing this one when I'm all alone redface )
A Letter to Elise ( sad )
Open (cause I can feel it)

Okay, that's 11. And I could list tons more, but those were the first that popped into my head.

I've always liked the Cure but only own two of their studio albums. "Wild Mood Swings" (and forgive me becuase I like it) and "Bloodflowers" (even worse, I've never given this album a chance and I know its suppose to be really good).

An underrated song from an overlooked album. I love it.

I've been listening to "Torture" on and off all day too. I just love getting locked into a Cure riff.

You're so right... i never properly appreciated it until i saw it on The Dream Tour... blew me off my seat. The keyboard parts in the studio version are just beyond belief, but I like the power of it live
