La formación original de la banda, entonces Easy Cure, nació en un colegio de Crawley, una ciudad construida sobre los escombros que dejó la guerra en un pequeño pueblo en el corazón de la campiña del sur de Inglaterra. Aunque Easy Cure había surgido como una banda de punk, para cuando simplificaron su nombre a The Cure, la creciente fascinación de Robert Smith por los temas oscuros y opresivos, ya se había unido a su habilidad para canalizar esas ideas en canciones apasionadamente evocadoras

the kiss
Kiss me kiss me kiss me Your tongue is like poison So swollen it fills up my mouth
Love me love me love me You nail me to the floor And push my guts all inside out
Get it out get it out get it out Get your fucking voice Out of my head
I never wanted this I never wanted any of this I wish you were dead I wish you were dead
I never wanted any of this I wish you were dead Dead Dead Dead
DADA Yes I know who you remind me of, a girl I think I used to know BmC#m-A Yes I'd see her when the day got colder, BmC#m-A on those days when it felt like snow
You know I even think that she stared like you, she used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven and make like I just wasn't there
GE And she used to fall down a lot GE That girl was always falling again and again DA And I used to sometimes try to catch her BmC#mA But I never even caught her name
And sometimes we would spend the night just rolling about on the floor And I remember even though it felt soft at the time, I always used to wake up sore
You know I even think that she smiled like you, she used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away and stay like that for quite a while
And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name
I'm in the room without a light The room without a view I'm here for one more treacherous night Another night with you It tortures me to move my hands To try to move at all And pulled My skin so tight it screams And screams and screams And pulls some more
Hanging like this Like a vampire bat Hanging like this Hanging on your back I'm helpless again
My body is cut and broken It's shattered and sore My body is cut wide open I can't stand anymore
Hanging like this Like a vampire bat Hanging like this Hanging on your back Oh it's torture And I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there
It's torture But I'm almost there It's torture But I'm almost there
DmBbG You're so gorgeous I'll do anything I'll kiss you from your feet to where your head begins You're so perfect, you're so right as rain You make me make me hungry again
FE Everything you do is irresistible FE Everything you do is simply kissable DmBb-G Why can't I be you?
I'll run around in circles 'til I run out of breath I'll eat you all up or I'll just hug you to death You're so wonderful too good to be true You make me make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply delicate Everything you do is quite angelicate Why can't I be you?
You turn my head when you turn around You turn the whole world upside down I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked I'm stuck like glue You make me make me hungry for you
Everything you do is simply dreamy Everything you do is quite delicious Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you? Why can't I be you?
Well we're a mile under the ground And I'm thinking that it's Christmas And I'm kissing you hard Like I've got very important business And no-one knows And no-one sees us Because they're drinking their selves senseless And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in the snake pit
Well I'm out in a car And it's just full of stupid girls And I've forgotten how to speak And I just can't remember a word And my eyes feel like they're bursting And they're splitting like plums And I'm writhing And I'm writhing And I'm writhing in the snake pit

The chords are:
Intro: AmDCD (4x)
AmD You want to know why I hate you? CD 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 air And all six eyes stared fixedly on you
BmA The father~s eyes said beautiful BmA How beautiful you are BmA The boy~s eyes said how beautiful Bm She shimmers like a star AmEm The child~s eyes uttered nothing F But mute and utter joy AmEm And filled my heart with shame for us F For the way we are AmEmF (The way we are)
DAmDAmDAmFF
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 father~s eyes said beautiful How beautiful you are The boy~s eyes said how beautiful She shimmers like a star The child~s eyes uttered nothing But pride and utter joy And stilled my heart with sadness For the way we are
DAm And this is why I hate you DAm And how I understand DAmF That no-one ever knows or loves another
AEBmD "Show me how you do that trick, the one that makes me scream" she said AEBmD "The one that makes me laugh" she said, and threw her arms around my neck AEBmD "Show me how you do it and I promise you I promise that AEBmD I'll run away with you, I'll run away with you"
Spinning on that dizzy edge, I kissed her face and 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"
F#mG You, soft and only F#mG You, lost and lonely F#mG You strange as angels D Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're 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
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal Tonight I'm howling inside Tonight I'm feeling like an animal Tonight I'm going wild
And all I want is to be with you again And all I want is to hold you like a dog And all I want is to be with you again With you again Just to hold you like a dog
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal Tonight I'm losing control Tonight I'm screaming like an animal Tonight oh I'm getting so low
And all I want is to be with you again And all I want is to hold you like a dog And all I want is to be with you again With you again Just to hold you like a dog That's all I want

AmF
AmF The first time I saw lightning strike I saw it underground Six deep feet below the street the sky came crashing down For a second that place was lost in space then everything went black I left that basement burning and I never went back
The second time I saw it strike I saw it at sea It lit up all the fish like rain and rained them down on me For a second that boat was still afloat then everything went black I left it underwater and I never went back
DmE7 Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when the lightning comes Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered Feeling hot hot hot!!!
The third time I saw lightning strike it hit me in bed It threw me around and left me for dead For a second that room was on the moon then everything went black I left that house on fire and I never went back
Hey hey hey!!! But I like it when the lightning comes Hey hey hey!!! Yes I like it a lot Hey hey hey!!! Yes I'm jumping like a jumping jack Dancing screaming itching squealing fevered Feeling hot hot hot!!!
Two progressions: for the verse it's F (Am-C) Dm (Dm/C) and for the chorus, it's Bb Cm Gm
FDm I'd love to touch the sky tonight, I'd love to touch the sky So take me in your arms and lift me like a child And hold me up so high and never let me go Take me, take me in your arms tonight
BbCm-Gm Hold me, hold me up so high and never let me down Hold me, hold me up so high to touch the sky just one more time
Take me in your arms tonight Take me in your arms Just one more time Just one more time Just one more time
Like many Cure songs, the there is really only one real riff for this song with other cool stuff added in (like the string orchestrations at the end). Anyway, the main (and intro) riff are these:
INTRO (4x) MAIN RIFF
E --------------------||-------------|---------|-------------|-----------| B ---------0----------||-------6-6---|---------|-------------|-----------| G -------0---0--------||----5--5-5---|-3-3-----|-------------|-----------| D -----3-------3------||-3--5--3-3---|-3-3-5-5-|--6-6--8-8-8-|-6--5--3-3-| A ---3-----------3----||-3--3--------|-1-1-5-5-|--6-6--8-8-8-|-6--5--3-3-| E -1---------------1--||-1-----------|-----3-3-|--4-4--6-6-6-|-4--3--1-1-|
[Chords are FFCCFF BbBbGG G#G#BbBb G#G#GFF]
The ever so cool lyrics are:
She walked out of her house And looked around At all the gardens that looked back at her house (Like all the faces that quiz when you smile)
And he was standing at the corner Where the road turned dark A part of shiny wet Like blood the rain fell black down on the street
And kissed his feet she fell Her head an inch away from heaven And her face pressed tight And all around the night sang out like cockatoos
And in her head A picture of a boy who left her loney in the rain (And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)
You're delicious Dreaming Slack jawed Green eyed Rub my nose in Icing sugar Smooth as When this cold and deadly Blade Kisses the fruit So soft And gently breathing Under your skin
Oh I'll empty you I'll empty you As empty as a boy can be As empty As a boy can be
DCadd9G You're such a strange girl Cadd9DCadd9GCadd9 I think you come from another world You're such a strange girl I really don't understand a word You're such a strange girl I'd like to shake you around and around You're such a strange girl I'd like to turn you all upside down
You're such a such a such a strange girl The way you look like you do You're such a strange girl I want to be with you
EmD/F#G I think I'm falling EmD/F#G I think I'm falling in EmD/F#GEm-D/F#-G I think I'm falling in love with you DCadd9GCadd9 With you
You're just a waste of time You're just a babbling face You're just three sick holes that run like sores You're a fucking waste You're like a slug on the floor Oh you're useless and ugly And useless and ugly And I shiver and shake When I think of how you make me hate
I want to smash you to pieces I want to smash you up and screaming I want to smash you helpless Down on the floor Smash you until you're not here anymore
This is the track that closes -Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me-, a total hopeful track for Cure fans alike (but I am not a critic so I will not go on). I have transcribed the basic guitar riff for the verses, the synth line for the verses as well as chorus, and the guitar chords for the chorus.
The verse riff is:
E -------------------------------------| B -------------------------------------| G -------------------------------------| D -------------------------------------| A ----1--1p0----0--3--3--1--6----------| E -3---------3-------------------------|
(make sure you slide between the last two notes, meaning slide between fret 1 and 6).
The synthesizer riff (fit for guitar) for the verse is:
E -3----1-------------1--||-6------------------1--|| B -3---------4--3--4-----||-8----6----4--3--4-----|| G -----------------------||-----------------------|| D -----------------------||-----------------------|| A -----------------------||-----------------------|| E -----------------------||-----------------------||
(the double vertical lines in between means to repeat the riff)
For the ~Fight! Fight! Fight!~ part, the guitar plays a D5 chord (with three staccato strums -hence the fight! fight! fight! part- it plays D5 for about a second after that, then plays the C5 for another second, then it plays C5 staccato three times. In between is the synth line. If you work on it, you will know what I mean.
Synth lines inbetween -Fight! Fight! Fight!-
D5C5C5D5
E -------------- E ------------------| B -3h4-3---1---- B -1h3-4--4--3-3----| G -------------- .............. G ------------------| D -------------- D ------------------| A -------------- A ------------------| E -------------- E ------------------|
That is basically it. The song ends on D5 and that is about it.
Sometimes there's nothing to feel Sometimes there's nothing to hold Sometimes there's no time to run away Sometimes you just feel so old The times it hurts when you cry The times it hurts just to breathe And then it seems like there's no-one left And all you want is to sleep
Fight fight fight Just push it away Fight fight fight Just push it until it breaks Fight fight fight Don't cry at the pain Fight fight fight Or watch yourself burn again Fight fight fight Don't howl like a dog Fight fight Just fill up the sky Fight fight fight Fight til you drop Fight fight fight And never never Never stop
Fight fight fight Fight fight fight
So when the hurting starts And when the nightmares begin Remember you can fill up the sky You don't have to give in You don't have to give in
Never give in Never give in Never give in *****************************************************************************
