You’re delicious
dreamy
slack-jawed green
eyed rub my nose in
icing sugar smooth
as when this cold and
deadly blade
kisses the fruit
so soft and
gently breathing
under your skin
I’ll empty you, I’ll empty you
as empty as a boy can be
as empty as a boy can be

- Simon: Every morning I wake, lay my hand on my heart and you are there. Sounds strange.
- Robert: Mm, mm.
- Simon: ...and a little homo, that's true. You have been the most important influence in my life.
LOOK CLOSER AND SEE
SEE INTO THE TREES
It was Simon’s chest hair that he experienced….

- that moment of panic when ‘Just Say Yes’ comes on

- i just can’t do it okay
CHANGE IT CHANGE IT *panic mode*

THE CURE “REFLECTIONS” - SEVEN FINAL PERFORMANCES
Featuring THREE IMAGINARY BOYS (1979), SEVENTEEN SECONDS (1980) and FAITH (1981) played in their entirety.
Due to overwhelming demand The Cure “REFLECTIONS” show - first experienced in the spring of 2011 at the Vivid Festival in Sydney - will be performed seven more times in November 2011.
“REFLECTIONS” sees an evolving line up of band members past and present playing the first three Cure albums live in their entirety - from the punchy, offbeat, starkly unadorned songs of Three Imaginary Boys (1979), through the increasingly shadowy and quixotic pieces of Seventeen Seconds (1980), to the singular melancholic grandeur of Faith (1981) - in a truly extraordinary concert experience.
This final chance to experience the “REFLECTIONS” show will happen in Europe at the Royal Albert Hall, London on Tuesday November 15th, and in the USA at the Pantages Theatre, LA onMonday 21st, Tuesday 22nd and Wednesday 23rd, and at the Beacon Theatre, NYC onFriday 25th, Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th.

www.bookingsdirect.com / 0844 338 0000. Four tickets per person maximum.
Tickets for the Pantages Theatre, LA and Beacon Theatre, NYC shows will go on-sale Monday 31st October at 10am local time and are available online at Ticketmaster.com and at all Ticketmaster outlets.

“…”Bare” is pretty intense. There are observations in that song on various relationships I’ve seen desintegrate over the last 5 years. And it was only when I started writing the song that I realized how much it affected me. I think it’s because there’s like an emotional content and people kind of understand. I tried to keep it very simple as well.”
—Robert Smith, 1996 (via thekissoftreachery)

Snow In Summer
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your deep green heart
I drink you as I swim
And I’m sliding
And I’m sliding with you
Slide beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You open up in me
Just like the snow in summer
High up on this mountain
The whole world looks so small
And all the rivers
Run away
Slipping in your soft white heart
I drink you as I swim
And I’m falling
And I’m falling with you
Fall beneath my skin
Sleek and deep
And salty sweet
You come
And close in me
Just like the snow in summer
Just like the snow in summer
As it melts
Into the sea
