The Cure - Strum

Copied!

It will be so perfect, I said. Too beautiful for words
It will be so perfect I said

My words are stupid, worthless, merely so much noise
I want to cover up the wall
Good things really never run the first time through
Adapted for our latest ploy
A pantomime of feeling good good good!
And waving as the smile just sits
But really I have never cared less in my life
To ever smile again
I sit before the mirror white and draw my red eyes black
My head is full of еveryone you evеr knew
Reflected, tired and cracked

My act is empty, hopeless only so much luck
A show to cover up the stage
All this strewn to satisfy another you in
Acting out this tired charade
A pantomime of feeling good good good good gooooood!
Drowning as the smile drips down
But really I have never cared less in my life
Whatever turns around

I sit before the mirror cold and paint my black mouth red
Your head is full of everyone I ever knew
Reflected, old and dead

It will still be perfect, you said. Too beautiful for words
It will still be perfect

Biography

edit bio

The Cure, an English rock band formed in 1976, has had a long and illustrious career filled with ups and downs, experimentation, and ultimately, success. The band was originally comprised of primary songwriter Robert Smith, drummer Lol Tolhurst, and bassist Michael Dempsey, who was later replaced by Simon Gallup.

Before recording their critically acclaimed album Disintegration in 1989, Robert Smith had doubts about the band's ability to create a masterpiece as he approached 30 years of age. The Cure's career up to that point had been marked by a defiance against people's expectations, starting as a punk band before being pushed towards pop for their first album.

Smith's desire to create music that was true to his vision for The Cure led to a period of somber and eclectic sounds, culminating in the success of their 1987 double album Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me. Despite this success, the band continued to be labeled as a pop band, which frustrated Smith even more.

With Disintegration, The Cure finally achieved the masterpiece that Smith had been aiming for, solidifying their place in music history. The band continued to find success with subsequent releases, including their Greatest Hits compilation, their eponymous 2004 comeback record, and 2008's 4:13 Dream.

In 2019, The Cure was rightfully inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame, cementing their legacy as one of the most influential and enduring bands in the history of rock music.
