*SIDENOTE* Though you might consider my request illegal, I guess this whole
file could also be considered illegal: I am looking for bootlegs!
There's no way I could get any Cure bootlegs unless some kind soul
out there in NetLand wants to sell me a tape copy. Write to me!

plainsong
A D A
"i think it's dark and it looks like rain" you said
D
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the
A D
world" you said "and it's so cold it's like the
E D A
cold if you were dead" and then you smiled for a second
"i think i'm old and i'm feeling pain" you said
"and it's all running out 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
sometimes you make me feel like i'm living at
the edge of the world like i'm living at the edge
of the world "it's just the way i smile" you said
*************************************************************************
pictures of you
A D
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
remembering you, running soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
and screamed at the make-believe screamed at the sky
and you finally found all your courage to let it all go
remembering you fallen into my arms, crying for the death of your heart
you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark
remembering you how you used to be
slow drowned you were angles so much more than everything
oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes but i never see anything
E D
if only i'd thought of the right words
E D
i could have held onto your heart
E D
if only i'd thought of the right words
E Bm7 A
i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you
looking so long at these pictures of you
but i never held onto your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart my pictures of you
Bridge: A Bm7 A/C# D A/C# D A/E D/F#
A
there was nothing in the world
Bm7 A/C# D
that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart
A/C#
there was nothing in the world
D A/E
that i ever wanted more that to never feel the breaking
D/F# D
apart all my pictures of you
*************************************************************************
closedown
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
*************************************************************************
love song
Am G F Em
Whenever I'm alone with you
Am G F Em
You make me feel like I am home again
Am G F Em
Whenever I'm alone with you
Am G F Em
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
F G Am C
However far away I will always love you
F G Am C
However long I stay I will always love you
F G Am C
Whatever words I say I will always love you
F G
I will always love you
whenever i'm alone with you you make me feel
like i am free again whenever i'm alone with
you you make me feel like i am clean again
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

lullaby(crd)
C#m
on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
A
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
C#m (etc..)
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do when i realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!
quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps
closer now closer to the foot of the bed and
softer than shadow and quicker than flies his
arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
F#m
and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand
A
million shivering furry holes
F#m A
and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold
C#m-A-C#m...
and spiderman is always hungry. . .

Additional lyrics:
Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"
NOTE: The notes in the above song are right the timing may be off,
play along with the CD to help you.

well it's opening time down on fascination street
F G
so let's cut the conversation and get out for a bit
Am
because i feel it all fading and paling and i'm begging
F G
to drag you down with me to kick the last nail in
yeah i like you in that like i like you to scream
but if you open your mouth then i can't be responsible
for quite what goes in or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair just pull on your pout
and let's move to the beat like we know that's it's over
if you slip going under slip over my shoulder
so just pull on your face just pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time down on fascination street
so pull on your hair pull on your pout
cut the conversation just open your mouth
pull on your face pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time down on fascination street
*************************************************************************
prayers for rain
you shatter me your grip on me a hold on me
so dull it kills you stifle me infectious sense of
hopelessness and prayers for rain i suffocate i
breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
and drab the hours all spent on killing time
again all waiting for the rain
you fracture me your hands on me a touch so
plain so stale it kills you strangle me entangle
me in hopelessness and prayers for rain i
deteriorate i live in dirt and nowhere glows but
drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing
time again all waiting for the rain
*************************************************************************
the same deep water as you
Am B C D
kiss me goodbye pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than me" you breathe
the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together . . . "
"kiss me goodbye bow your head and join with me"
and face pushed deep reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips
and disappear the ripples clear and laughing break against your feet
and laughing break the mirror sweet "so we shall be together . . . "
"kiss me goodbye" pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now the strangest twist upon your lips
but i don't see and i don't feel but tightly hold up silently my hands
before my fading eyes and in my eyes your smile
the very last thing before i go . . .
i will kiss you i will kiss you i will kiss you
forever on nights like this i will kiss you i will
kiss you and we shall be together . . .

disintegration
The song basically moves around this simple progression: C-D-Em
However, it might change into Cadd9-Dadd9-Em7, especially somewhere
in the middle of a song, where we have this lick:
E --8-7-----5-3-----2----|----0----0-----0----0-----0----0-----------
B --------------------3--|--3---3--3---3---3--3---3---3--3-----------

oh i miss the kiss of treachery the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black and the velvety up tight against the side of me
and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
and run in thickening streams of greed
as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before i feed
the stench of a love for a younger meat
and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep
the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities
as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece
but i never said i would stay to the end
so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew how the ending would be . . .
so it's all come back round to breaking apart again
breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again
making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again
cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
round and round and round and it's coming apart again
over and over and over
now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
i'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy crocodiles cry
for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone
dropping through sky through the glass of the roof
through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye
through the eye of the needle it's easier for me
to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again
i never said i would stay to the end
i knew i would leave you with babies and everything
screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet stains on the memory
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew how the end always is . . .
how the end always is . . .

last dance
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together expectant too punctual but
prettier than ever i really believe that this time
it's forever
but older than me now more constant more real
and the fur and the mouth and the innocence
turned to hair and contentment that hangs in
a basement a women now standing where once
there was only a girl
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered the walking through walls in the
heart of december the blindness of happiness
of falling down laughing and i really believed
that this time was forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall all
this in an instant before i can kiss you a woman
now standing where once there was only a girl
i'm so glad you came i'm so glad you
remembered to see how we're ending our last
dance together reluctantly cautiously but
prettier than ever i really believe that this time
it's forever
but christmas falls late now flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall and
even if we drink i don't think we would kiss in
the way that we did when the woman was only a
girl

hopelessly drift in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real never know how i
wanted to feel never quite said what i wanted
to say to you never quite managed the words to
explain to you never quite knew how to make
them believable and now the time has gone
another time undone hopelessly fighting the
devil futility feeling the monster climb deeper
inside of me feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily i'll never lose this pain never dream of
you again
*************************************************************************
homesick
hey hey! just one more and i'll walk away all
the everything you win turns to nothing today
and i forget how to move when my mouth is this
dry and my eyes are bursting hearts in a blood-
stained sky oh it was sweet it was wild and oh
how we . . . i trembled stuck in honey honey
cling to me so just one more just on more go
inspire in me the desire in me to never go home
oh just one more and i'll walk away all the
everything you win turns to nothing today so
just one more just one more go inspire in me
the desire in me to never go home
