Just listened through Faith (you know, the Cure album) with lyrics (faded down voice with ecco+ Robert Smith's thick voice and English accent= Lyrics quite hard to figure out for a 17 years ol Swede...). There are some really good lyrics here. Primary for example. Brilliant lyrics (since it's allready been posted I whon't post it). Here are some other examples:
Faith (title track, and my favorite song (and lyrics) from the album)
Catch me if I fall
I'm losing hold
I can't just carry on this way
And every time I turn away
Lose another blind game
The idea of perfection holds me
Suddenly I see you change
Everything at once the same
But the mountain never moves
Rape me like a child
Christened in blood
Painted like an unknown saint
There's nothing left but hope
Your voice is dead
And old and always empty
Trust in me through closing years
Perfect moments wait
If only we could stay
Please say the right words
Or cry like the stone white clown and stand
Lost forever in a happy crowd
No one lifts their hands
No one lifts their eyes
Justified with empty words
The party just gets better and better
I went away alone
With nothing left
But faith
I went away alone
With nothing left but faith
The Drowning Man
She stands twelve feet above the flood
She stares
Alone
Across the water
The loneliness grows and slowly
Fills her frozen body
Sliding downwards
One by one her senses die
The memories fade
And leave her eyes
Still seeing worlds that never were
And one by one the bright birds leave her ...
Starting at the violent sound
She tries to turn
But final
Noiseless
Slips and strikes her soft dark head
The water bows
Receives her
And drowns her at its ease
Drowns her at its ease
I would have left the world all bleeding
Could I only help you love
The fleeting shapes
So many years ago
So young and beautiful and brave
Everything was true
It couldn't be a story
I wish it was all true
I wish it couldn't be a story
The words all left me
Lifeless
Hoping
Breathing like the drowning man
Oh Fushia
You leave me
Breathing like the drowning man
Breathing like the drowning man
And last but not least:
Doubt (which I thought should be whorse, to be honest)
Stop my flight to fight and die
And take a stand to change my life
So savage with red desperation
I clench my hands
You draw your claws
A hidden rage consumes my heart
Fuelled by years of wasted time
I close my eyes
And tense myself
And screaming
Throw myself in fury over the edge
And into your blood
Tear at flesh
And rip at skin
And smash at doubt
I have to break you
Fury drives my vicious blows
I see you fall but still I strike you
Again and again your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure and gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Drained of everything but pain
Screaming throw myself in fury
Over the edge and into your blood
Kiss you once and see you writhe
Hold you close and hear you cry
Kiss your eyes and finish your life
Kiss your eyes
Finish your life
Again and again
Your body falls
The movement is sharp and clear and pure and gone
I stop and kneel beside you
Knowing I'll murder you again tonight
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
Knowing I'll murder you again
Tonight
Übereil
