The Cure - Spilt Milk

Copied!

I don't think I ever know
If I ever really want it
Could be why I'm never sure
If I ever really got it
And I guess it's maybe easier
Not to think too much about it...
A house a car a family and friends
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder...
In the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm wasting all my time
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm putting off my real life...
What I could've done
Where I could've been
When I should've gone
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always always too late...
I don't think I ever know
That I ever really need it
Could be why I'm never sure
That I ever really feel it
And I think it's maybe easier
To guess I really mean it...
A house! A car! A family and friends!
Yeah all it means to justify the ends
But sometimes... I wonder...
A girl! A smile! A holiday and sex!
Yeah all it takes
To make sense of the rest
But sometimes... I wonder...
In the back of my mind
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm killing all my time
Sometimes... I wonder...
If I'm giving up my real life...
What I could've done
Where I could've been
When I should've gone
Why I should've seen
Who I would've loved
How I would've dreamed
And if it's always, always too late...
And every day that I let slide
Is one day more I never try
To break the world
To make my fate
And with every day that I let go
It's one day less I ever know
If it's always
Always too late...

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.
