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

AE oh elise it doesn't matter what you say Bm I just can't stay here every yesterday D like keep on acting out the same the way we act out A every way to smile forget E and make-believe we never needed BmD any more than this any more than this

AE oh elise it doesn't matter what you do Bm I know i'll never really get inside of you D to make your eyes catch fire the way they should A the way the blue could pull me in E if they only would if they only would BmD at least I'd lose this sense of sensing something else A that hides away from me and you there're worlds to part E with aching looks and breaking hearts Bm and all the prayers your hands can make D oh I just take as much as you can throw A and then I throw it all away E oh I throw it all away Bm like throwing faces at the sky D like throwing arms around E yesterday I stood and stared F#m wide-eyed in front of you E and the face I saw looked back F#m the way I wanted to E but I just can't hold my tears away F#m the way you do
GF#m elise believe I never wanted this GF#m I thought this time I'd keep all of my promises GF#m I thought you were the girl always dreamed about Bm but I let the dream go D and the promises broke A and the make-believe ran out

AE so elise it doesn't matter what you say Bm I just can't stay here every yesterday D like keep on acting out the same the way we act out A every way to smile forget E and make-believe we never needed BmD any more than this any more than this AE and every time I try to pick it up like falling sand Bm as fast as I pick it up D it runs away through my clutching hands A and there's nothing else I can really do E there's nothing else I can really do Bm there's nothing else I can really do D at all
