Half an Octopuss (EP)

Cure Half an Octopuss (EP) Lyrics
1.Close To Me (EP)

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

But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream


2.Stop Dead

Lyricist:Robert James Smith

Let me forget, let me forget
Or let me go, let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low, low, low
Low, low, low low, low

Never the biggest word I ever heard
S-s-stop dead, stop dead, s-s-stop dead
Getting too close, getting too close

Before you even opened your eyes
I've moved about a million ways
I've killed about a million people
And filled about half a day

Before you even opened your eyes
You had to have to ask me who
L-l-l-love it, I mean you

Let me forget, let me forget
Or let me go, let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low, low, low
Low, low, low, low, low

Never the biggest word I ever heard
S-s-stop dead, stop dead, s-s-stop dead
You're getting too close, getting too

Face is in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive

Face is in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive

Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey

Stay there until day
Stay there until morn
Stay there until light


3.A Man Inside My Mouth

Lyricist:Robert Smith

I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket, I was gray, damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
Like I think, I'm at the racing, like the night before

I remember one girl standing, one was sitting on the ground
One was holding me up, the other pulling me down
And I couldn't decide which one was real
Because there wasn't a sound, like I was pregnant again

I woke up at seven and my body was vibrating
I was wrapped up in a blanket, I was gray, damp and sore
The bedroom was an engine and my heartbeat was erratic
Like I think, I'm at the racing, like the night before

'Don't move, don't smile, don't blink, don't even breathe'
And she said, 'Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at
the head'
So I was sucking, I was sucking like a fat lady would
But I couldn't hold it down another second

'Don't twitch, don't shout, don't think, don't even breathe'
She said, 'Or the photograph will spoil and cut you off at the
head'
So I was sweating, I was sweating like a fat lady would
And I woke up with a man inside my mouth

This won't hurt at all


4.New Day

Lyricist:Robert Smith, Laurence Tolhurst

Shout
New day, new day

In Heaven the ground is waiting
For the dust, the seed, my love once more
I shout, shout this is new, new day, new day

Hold the air and gasp in life
This solid dance this cold, cold night is gone, is gone
The dark heat throbs, the fools' sweat swims
The hazy lights the deadly sins are gone, are gone

Crack the stone invade my head
Dropping honey, dropping dead again, again
The silence shouts across the gap
Another dreaming love me again, love me again

Shout, shout, shout
Love me again
Shout, shout, shout
