ubereil, i believe mark knopfler played steel front f-hole guitar (just like the one on the cover of Brothers In Arms) for Romeo & Juliet, not banjo. please correct me if i'm wrong.
Yes, he fell for it! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/ROFL.gif" alt="" />
Acually I wasn't serious, I just think it sounds a little like a banjo, but for all I know you could be right. I can't imagine I am.
Just listened to Show (Cure live). Nice concert. I acually think some of the songs are better than the original (like Open, A Night like this and Lullaby), but at the end there are just too many Wish songs to be good. There's not much wrong with Wish but all that is wrong with it, you notice here, and in much bigger propotions (did I spell that correctly? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/think.gif" alt="" />). Some lyrics:
Open by the Cure (the Show verision comes with an intro specially written for this consert <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />)
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
And 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...
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
And 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
I've got blood on my hands
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 down 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
But 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
Keeping it going
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 fell inside... (it shure is)

Just like Heaven by the Cure (for some strange reason my favorite Curesong. I think it's because I heard it for the firt time when I was around ten. Then my brother played it for me, and then he translated the text for me. I didn't hear it for six years but I still knew the major contence of the lyrics, I knew that guitarrsling that I love so much and I still kenw how to play it on a piand(Check out

"Show me, show me, 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
I 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
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
Ubereil
