this is by far the best Cure song...it's simply brilliant, no question about it...i love all about it:the instrumental is great and the lyrics are just...

"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"
Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

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

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like heaven

what more can u say???it's just this raw emotion...it's one of the songs of my life, i totally love it!!!
if u have some love for this song, please:SHOW IT!!!

    OK, I must tell you I use to be completey opposed to The Cure...they just never did it for me, mainly his voice. :/ Over the years, thanks to my friends that are rabid fans, I've come to appreciate many songs and can now call my self a "selective" fan. :p This is BY FAR one of my favs and most listened to songs by them. ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS!!! Music & words alike. GORGEOUS! I must throw some love & appreciation in the mix for this beauty.

    Good call anarchist_grunger. :)

    "One Hundred Years" from the album Pornography

    It doesn't matter if we all die
    Ambition in the back of a black car
    In a high building there is so much to do
    Going home time
    A story on the radio

    Something small falls out of your mouth
    And we laugh
    A prayer for something better
    A prayer
    For something better

    Please love me
    Meet my mother
    But the fear takes hold
    Creeping up the stairs in the dark
    Waiting for the death blow
    Waiting for the death blow
    Waiting for the death blow

    Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
    Fighting for freedom on television
    Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
    Have we got everything?
    She struggles to get away . . .

    The pain
    And the creeping feeling
    A little black haired girl
    Waiting for Saturday
    The death of her father pushing her
    Pushing her white face into the mirror
    Aching inside me
    And turn me round
    Just like the old days
    Just like the old days
    Just like the old days
    Just like the old days

    Caressing an old man
    And painting a lifeless face
    Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
    The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
    All shadows and deliverance
    Under a black flag
    A hundred years of blood
    Crimson
    The ribbon tightens round my throat
    I open my mouth
    And my head bursts open
    A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
    Thrashing in the water
    Over and over
    We die one after the other
    Over and over
    We die one after the other
    One after the other
    One after the other
    One after the other
    One after the other

    It feels like a hundred years
    A hundred years
    A hundred years
    A hundred years
    A hundred years
    One hundred years

    This is my all-time favorite Cure song. A phenomenal band, and this song was just ideal for them. The rhythms and lyrics and the way they just spin around you..it is just so flawlessly gorgeous. I have much appreciation for this song..and really deepens my love for The Cure. :D
