The Cure

The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

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 

"There are a thousand things" he said 
"I'll never say those things to you again" 
And turning on his heel 
He left a trace of bubbles 
Bleeding in his stead 

And in her head 
A picture of a boy who left her 
Lonely in the rain 
(And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)
