"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."

"I'm running out of time, I'm out of step and closing down. And never sleep for wanting hours, The empty hours of greed. And uselessly always the need To feel again the real belief Of something more than mockery. If only I could fill my heart with love."

"I've been looking so long at these pictures of you That I almost believe that they're real. I've been living so long with my pictures of you That I almost believe that the pictures are all I can feel.Remembering you standing quiet in the rain As I ran to your heart to be near. And we kissed as the sky fell in, holding you close, How I always held close in your fear."

""I think it's dark and it looks like it's rain," you said. "And the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world," you said. And it's so cold, it's like the cold if you were dead, And then you smiled for a second."

"And I feel like I'm being eaten By a thousand million shivering, furry holes. And I know that in the morning, I will wake up in the shivering cold. And the spiderman is always hungry."Come into my parlor," said the spider to the fly. "I have a little something here.""

"I never wanted another. Come over to me and discover How I want to be near you And you need to be far away You always seem to make me feel at home Hey you."

"It doesn’t matter if you’re black or white Or the god that you choose to pray to. It doesn’t matter about the clothes you wear Or which creator made you. We all bleed the same blood, We all need the same love, And when we die there’s no heaven above. It’s Universal, It’s Universal."

"When I was only seventeen, My head was full of brilliant dreams. My heart would call and I would gladly go At twenty one the world was mine And I was yours and you're divine. And nothing else would matter to us so I don't believe in destiny, I don't believe in love, I don't believe that anything will ever be enough..."

"However far away, I will always love you. However long I stay, I will always love you. Whatever words I say, I will always love you. I will always love you."

"The man at the back has a question, His tongue's involved with solutions. But the monkey on my back Won't stop laughing.Over the wall, Hand in hand. Over the wall, Watch us fall."

"Conquering myself until I see another hurdle approaching. Say we can, say we will, Not just another drop in the ocean."

"We're taking advantage of, Breaking the back of love. We're taking advantage of, Breaking the back of love.Easier said than done you said, But it's more difficult to say. With eyes bigger than our bellies, We want to but we can't look away. What were you thinking of When you dreamt that up?"

"The boy with the thorn in his side, Behind the hatred there lies A murderous desire For love."

"If you leave, don't leave now. Please don't take my heart away. Promise me, just one more night, Then we'll go our separate ways. We've always had time on our side, Now it's fading fast. Every second, every moment, We've gotta make it last.I touch you once, I touch you twice. I won't let go at any price. I need you now like I needed you then. You always said we'd still be friends someday."

"I don't think I can love Anyone but you That's for sure... The upstairs room is cool and bright We can go up there in summer And dance all night."

"Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television. Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs, Have we got everything?"

"The innocence of sleeping children. Dressed in white and slowly dreaming. Stops all time. I slow my steps and start to blur. So many years have filled my heart. I never thought I'd say those words.The further we go and older we grow, The more we know the less we show. The further we go and older we grow, The more we know the less we show."

"If you were born in heaven girl, I'd understand so well. But ever since I've met you child, You've made my life such hell. With every day that passes, I fall nearer to the ground. It seems that I've been looking for Something that won't be found.I was only dreaming. I was only trying to catch your eye. I was only wishing you would notice me, Instead you said goodbye."

"Don't say what you mean, You might spoil your face. If you walk in the crowd, You won't leave any trace. It's always the same, You're jumping someone else's train."

"I would say I'm sorry If I thought that it would change your mind, But I know that this time I have said too much, been too unkind.I tried to laugh about it, Cover it all up with lies. I tried to laugh about it, Hiding the tears in my eyes 'Cause boys don't cry. Boys don't cry."

"I chose an eternity of this, Like falling angels, the world disappeared. Laughing into the fire, is it always like this? Flesh and blood and the first kiss; The first colours, the first kiss."

"Let me take your hand I'm shaking like milk Turning Turning blue All over the windows and the floors Fires outside in the sky Look as perfect as cats The two of us together again But it's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you don't say it first You think you're tired now But wait until three..."

"A hundred other words blind me with your purity Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance. I think about tomorrow, please let me sleep As I slip down the window, freshly squashed fly."

"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, make me, make me hungry again.Everything you do is irresistible. Everything you do is simply kissable. Why can't I be you? (Why can't I be you?)"

"Every time we do this, I fall for her. Wave after wave after wave, it's all for her. "I know this can't be wrong", I say. (And I'll lie to keep her happy) As long as I know that you know That today I belong right here with you, Right here with you."

"I don't care if Monday's blue, Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too. Thursday I don't care about you, It's Friday, I'm in love. Monday you can fall apart, Tuesday, Wednesday, break my heart. Oh, Thursday doesn't even start, It's Friday, I'm in love.Saturday, wait And Sunday always comes too late. But Friday, never hesitate."

"Oh, Elise it doesn't matter what you say, I just can't stay here every yesterday Like keep on acting out the same The way we act out. Every way to smile, forget And make-believe we never needed Any more than this, Any more than this."

"The melodic, often melancholy tunes of Robert Smith and the boys have been displayed and praised for over 40 years. When it comes to the alternative and goth or post-punk rock sound of England, The Cure is the trendsetter."

"We slip through the streets while everyone sleeps Getting bigger and sleeker, and wider and brighter. We bite and scratch and scream all night. Let's go and throw all the songs we knowInto the sea, you and me All the years and no one heard I'll show you in spring, it's a treacherous thing We missed you hissed the love cats. We missed you hissed the love cats."

"All men have secrets and here is mine. So let it be known. For we have been through hell and high tide. I can surely rely on you, And yet you start to recoil. Heavy words are so lightly thrown, But still I'd leap in front of a flying bullet for you.So, what difference does it make? So, what difference does it make? It makes none. But now you have gone, And you must be looking very old tonight."

"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.And 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."

"Under the iron bridge we kissed. And although I ended up with sore lips, It just wasn't like the old days anymore. No, it wasn't like those days. Am I still ill? Ohh... Oh, am I still ill? Ohh...Does the body rule the mind? Or does the mind rule the body? I dunno..."

"I am the son and the heir Of a shyness that is criminally vulgar. I am the son and heir Of nothing in particular.You shut your mouth, how can you say I go about things the wrong way? I am human and I need to be loved, Just like everybody else does."

"I was happy in the haze of a drunken hour, But heaven knows I'm miserable now. I was looking for a job and then I found a job, And heaven knows I'm miserable now.In my life, why do I give valuable time To people who don't care if I live or die?"

"I want to go home, I don't want to stay. Give up education As a bad mistake."

"On the day that your mentality Decides to try to catch up with your biology, Come round.Cause I want the one I can't have. And it's driving me mad. It's all over, all over, all over my face."

"Yesterday I got so old, I felt like I could die. Yesterday I got so old, it made me want to cry. Go on, go on, just walk away. Go on, go on, your choice is made. Go on, go on and disappear. Go on, go on away from here.And I know I was wrong when I said it was true. That it couldn't be me and be her in between without you, Without you."

"Say goodbye on a night like this If it's the last thing we ever do. You never looked as lost as this, Sometimes it doesn't even look like you. It goes dark; It goes darker still. Please stay. But I watch you like I'm made of stone As you walk away."

"Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to. Shyness is nice and shyness can stop you From doing all the things in life you'd like to.So, if there's something you'd like to try, If there's something you'd like to try, Ask me, I won't say no. How could I?"

"Don't feel bad for me. I want you to know, Deep in the cell of my heart, I will feel so glad to go."

"But if I had your faith Then I could make it safe and clean. Oh, if only I was sure That my head on the door was a dream."

"I started somethin. I forced you to a zone. And you were clearly Never meant to go. Hair brushed and parted. Typical me, typical me Typical me I started something ...And now I'm not too sure. I grabbed you by the gilded beams Uh, that's what tradition means."

"I've waited hours for this. I've made myself so sick. I wish I'd stayed asleep today. I never thought this day would end. I never thought tonight could ever be This close to me."

"Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before, Nothing's changed. I still love you, oh, I still love you Only slightly, only slightly less Than I used to, my love."

"Whenever I'm alone with you, You make me feel like I am home again. Whenever I'm alone with you, You make me feel like I am whole again.Whenever I'm alone with you, You make me feel like I am young again. Whenever I'm alone with you, You make me feel like I am fun again."

"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. You're just like a dream."

"Oh, it's opening time down on Fascination Street, So let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit. Because I feel it all fading and paling, and I'm begging To drag you down with me to kick the last nail in."

"It's my direction, it's my proposal. It's so hard it's leading me astray. My obsession, it's my creation. You'll understand it's not important now."

"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."

"Ah, a jumped-up pantry boy Who never knew his place. He said, "Return the ring." He knows so much about these things. He knows so much about these things."
