Without You lyrics

Without You - 4:11

Anything at all, but you know I can't stop
It's life on the moon, all this talk of giving up
Life is too short, for it not to be true
The best idea I think, is for me to go my way

Anything at all, but don't want me to change
Hard to understand, when a plan is this strange
Life is too big, yeah, has to be true
The best idea I think, is for me to go my way

If all that you want, is how it could be
You may as well go now, there's no wait and see

Anything at all, but don't ask me to (be?)
You have to accept, I can't ever play safe
Life is too real, for it not to be true
The best idea I think, is for me to go my way

If all that you want, is how it could be
You may as well go, no, there's no wait and see
We'll always be wrong
If all I won't give, is all that you want
It's a strange way to live and let live
And all that you do, is measure me up, falling shorter than you
It's a strange way to love, (and be as/as big as? ) I want
Oh I know that you know, I can't fake, change, or stop

So anything at all, you know I won't choose
If all you could win, is all I would lose
When life is too right, yeah, has to be true
The best idea I think, is for me to go my way
(Whispered) Without you

The Perfect Boy lyrics

Best Cure single in ages! I absolutely love it!

The Perfect Boy (Mix 13) - 3:23

You and me are the world, she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

Always meant to be, I can feel it
Like a destiny thing
Written in the stars
Inescapable fate, yeah it's out of my hands
Falling into your arms

And I don't want to get innocent
But I would love you to take my time
We're on the edge of a beautiful thing, she said
Come on, let's stay here for awhile

Oooooh girl, he is the one for sure
Oooooh girl, he is the perfect boy

Yeah, me and you are a world, he said
But not the only one I need
The two of us is never all there is
That doesn't happen for real
If it was meant to be us, it was meant to be now
Don't see the sense in wasting time
If you're so sure about this (love kismet hearty thing?)
You know tonight, you're mine

And I don't want to get obvious
But I have to be gone by three
We're on the edge of a beautiful thing, he said
So come on, jump with me

Oooooh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oooooh girl, he's not so wonderful
Oooooh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oooooh girl, he's not the perfect boy....at all

You and me are the world, she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream

And her heart may be broken a hundred times
But the hurt will never destroy
Her hope, the happy ever after girl
One day finds the perfect boy

(Thanks to V for putting this together with me)

Recent US sales info

In a post mainly about Depeche Mode, Ask Billboard also had this Cure info:

"As for the Cure, the band's last studio release, 2004's self-titled effort, has sold 327,000 in the U.S. Before that, 2000's "Bloodflowers" shifted 301,000 while 1996's "Wild Mood Swings" has done 371,000.

The Cure recently completed a tour, and of its global dates, we have information on 26 of those shows, nearly all were in North America. Nine of those were sellouts, with a reported attendance of 204,920. Total gross for those shows were $12 million.

The Cure's new as-yet-untitled new album is due out Oct. 13."

Robert talks about radio

Robert has posted at the official site, talking about the 3 singles being in the Top Ten Sales chart in the US, despite very little airplay. Also confirms what most of us knew -that wasn't the cover image for Hypnagogic States. He also posted a reply, which will soon be buried under the typical nonsense, so here it is:

I FORGOT... 8/4/2008 11:57:58 AM - by CURE:ROBERT
NO-ONE LISTENS TO THE RADIO ANYMORE?

HA!
I CANT THINK OF A TIME I DIDNT WANT CURE MUSIC TO BE PLAYED OR HEARD...
AND I HAVE NEVER EXPECTED ANYONE ELSE TO LOVE IT BUT ME...
BUT ACTUALLY KNOWING CURE MUSIC EXISTS IS A NECESSARY PREREQUISITE TO MAKING THAT CHOICE!
(AND FOR THOSE REALLY MISSING IT...
THE SIMPLE POINT I AM MAKING IS:
"WE ARE NOT GETTING MUCH AIRPLAY IN AMERICA" ARE WE?!!)

PEACE AND JEDI ETC
