The Cure

I Cure mi sono sempre piaciuti, ma un po' superficialmente: conoscevo le solite canzoni, Boys don't cry, Close to me, Pictures of you, etc. Non avevo realizzato
a) che fossero stati tanto prolifici
b) che avessero fatto album così dark/goth (passatemi il termine!): Pornography, Disintegration, Faith..
Voglio dire, ce l'avevo presente Robert Smith con faccia bianca e trucco nero, capelli assurdi. Ma gran parte delle canzoni che conoscevo appartengono alla fase pop, canzoni carine ma piuttosto leggere.. Sì, per carità, Boys don't cry sarà pure un cult, ma ascoltarla non mi faceva sentire i brividi lungo la schiena. Adesso il mio obiettivo è ascoltare tutta la discografia, perchè da quando ho sentito Disintegration non me lo riesco a togliere di mente: testi tristi, solenni, atmosfere new wave, Joy Division-eggianti..


Kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try swimming the same deep
water as you is hard "the shallow drowned lose
less than we" you breathe the strangest twist
upon your lips "and we shall be together..."

"kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with
me" and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips and
disappear the ripples clear and laughing break
against your feet and laughing break the mirror
sweet "so we shall be together..."

"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now the strangest
twist upon your lips but i don't see and i don't
feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your
smile the very last thing before i go...

i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
kiss you and we shall be together...


Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The shameless kiss of vanity
The soft and the black and the velvety
Up tight against the side of me
And mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
And run in thickening streams of greed
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece

Oh I miss the kiss of treachery
The aching kiss before I feed
The stench of a love for a younger meat
And the sound that it makes
When it cuts in deep
The holding up on bended knees
The addiction of duplicities
As bit by bit it starts the need
To just let go
My party piece

But I never said I would stay to the end
So I leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
Screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the scenery
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both us knew
How the ending would be...

So it's all come back round to breaking apart again
Breaking apart like I'm made up of glass again
Making it up behind my back again
Holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
Holding it up behind my head again
Cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
Round and round and round
And it's coming apart again
Over and over and over

Now that I know that I'm breaking to pieces
I'll pull out my heart
And I'll feed it to anyone
Crying for sympathy
Crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
And the three cheers from everyone
Dropping through sky
Through the glass of the roof
Through the roof of your mouth
Through the mouth of your eye
Through the eye of the needle
It's easier for me to get closer to heaven
Than ever feel whole again

I never said I would stay to the end
I knew I would leave you with babies and everything
Screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
Screaming me over and over and over
I leave you with photographs
Pictures of trickery
Stains on the carpet and
Stains on the memory
Songs about happiness murmured in dreams
When we both of us knew
How the end always is

How the end always is...

P.S. I testi prendeteli con le pinze, vengono da sing qualcosa, non sto a controllarli.
P.P.S. Se qualcuno ha delle canzoni in particolare da consigliarmi sono tutt'orecchi (sempre che si dica così. bè avete capito).

  1. accidenti! adesso non ho il tempo di ascoltare ma mi hai incuriosita...anch'io conosco solo le canzoni che hai citato tu all'inizio (anche se ho un vago ricordo di un video molto goth che beccai forse un decennio fa su mtv di notte!)
