"The Lovecats & Close to Me" - The Cure (Acoustic)


we move like cagey tigers
oh we couldn't get closer than this
the way we walk
the way we talk
the way we stalk
the way we kiss
we slip through the streets
while everyone sleeps
getting bigger and sleeker
and wider and brighter
we bite and scratch and scream all night
let's go and throw
all the songs we know...

into the sea
you and me
all the years and no one heard
i'll show you in spring
it's a treacherous thing
we missed you hissed the lovecats
we missed you hissed the lovecats

we're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
wonderfully pretty!
oh you know that i'd do anything for you...
we should have each other to tea huh?
we should have each other with cream
then curl up in the fire
and sleep for awhile
it's the grooviest thing
it's the perfect dream

into the sea
you and me
all the years and no one heard
i'll show you in spring
it's a treacherous thing
we missed you hissed the lovecats
we missed you hissed the lovecats
we missed you hissed the lovecats
we missed you hissed the lovecats

we're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully
wonderfully pretty!
you know that i'd do anything for you...
we should have each other to dinner
we should have each other with cream
then curl up in the fire
get out for awhile
it's the grooviest thing
it's the perfect dream

hand in hand
is the only way to land
and always the right way round
not broken in pieces
like hated little meeces...
how could we miss
someone as dumb as this?
we missed you hissed the lovecats

i love you... let's go...
oh... solid gone...
how could we miss
someone as dumb as this?

Del álbum "Japanese Whispers" (1983)

---------------------------------------

i've waited hours for this
i've made myself so sick
i wish i'd stayed
asleep today

i never thought this day would end
i never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

just try to see in the dark
just try to make it work
to feel the fear before you're here
i make the shapes come much too close
i pull my eyes out
hold my breath
and wait until i shake...

but if i had your faith
then i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

i've waited hours for this
i've made myself so sick
i wish i'd stayed asleep today
i never thought this day would end
i never thought tonight could ever be
this close to me

but if i had your face
then i could make it safe and clean
if only i was sure
that my head on the door was a dream

Del álbum "The head on the door" (1985)

*******

Dos de las canciones que más me gustan de la discografía de The Cure casi "renovadas" al ser incluidas en esa grabación acústica que fungió como bonus disc en el álbum The Cure: Greatest Hits de 2001. Pero no sólo por eso las he incluido en formato video, sino también porque la interpretación de tito Robert es de lo más curiosa, jejeje. Son dos canciones lúdicas, sin embargo, Robert no canta sonriente sino de forma misteriosa y divertida. Está como ido pero sin dejar de ser él y de recrearse en la imagen que que lo identifica casi desde hace treinta años.

El tiempo ha pasado, pero al ver los videos de esta grabación acústica, no dejo de tener presente aquel con el cual conocí a The Cure (en ese entonces no grupo sino dueto conformado por Smith y Tolhurst) y que no fue otro que Let's go to bed... y de eso, ya han pasado veintiseis años ;-)
