Cure, The - Just One Kiss Lyrics






I remember the time that you rained all night
The queen of Siam in my arms
Remember the time that the islands sank
But nobody opened their eyes

Remember that time that the trees fell down
The wood crashing through the wall
Remember the sound that could wake the dead
But nobody woke up at all

Somebody died for this
Somebody died for just one kiss

Remember the time that the sky went black
We waited alone on the sands
Remember the taste of the raging sea
But nobody held out their hands

Somebody died for this
Somebody died
For just one kiss

Just one kiss
Just one kiss

Cure, The Just One Kiss Comments
  1. J.... S....

    This is a very underrated Album yet it is one of my favourites, it's beautiful and haunting, I love it!

  2. N.... S....

    This has been such a hot tune at the festivals this summer (2019)...Love it live!!!

  3. F.... u....

    Holy shit, how did I never know this song ??? I saw them live at pinkpop yesterday and they did this track, I was like what the hell is this this sounds like it’s straight outta pornography, just found out it was a single also from 1982, so good

  4. J.... R....

    La escuche en 1990.lo recuerdo muy bien.magico.

  5. M.... 3....

    Robert Smith wanted this song to be an A-side, it would have been amazing if it had been. One of their best tunes.

  6. t.... ....

    This has been, not only my favorite cure song, but one of my favorite rock and roll songs PERIOD, for decades...but based on all the Cure song rankings I’ve seen (and I’ve looked at a load of them), I’m a club of one:/ It never shows up in the top 10’s or even top 50’s, and in a ranking of their entire catalogue of 225 original songs by “slicing up eyeballs,” from 2017, it was in the 60’s. I guess I’m weird. Oh well, thanks for taking the time to read!

  7. C.... B....

    One of my favorite songs, and thank you for the lyrics. Just change "rained" to "reigned", because Robert had the queen of Siam (modern day Thailand) in his arms figuratively speaking. I recall reading that Mary loved to play dress up, perhaps they were role playing.

  8. D.... E....

    Congratulations to The Cure on being inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame ! 2019. The runaway best band of the 80's.

  9. G.... M....

  29. A.... ....

    beautiful !!:-)

  30. B.... D....

    This is a band from the 80's that doesn't sound like a band from that decade, not counting those songs that were commercial and done just to please record executives.  The Cure is not about pop music...they are haunted and lonely, lyrical and complex,  funny and sad.

    B.... D....

    Different to most groups of the eighties

    B.... D....

    Still relevant today. 

    B.... D....

    +Bob Doubter that's right

  31. I.... ....

    soy una basura

    I.... ....

    +IwouldBeSoHappy Por?

  32. D.... K....

    THE MOST BRILLIANT SONG...LYRICALLY, MUSICALLY....

    D.... K....

    +Denise Kerr perfect

    D.... K....

    interesting that it is underated.even by the most ?loyal funs of Robert s lyrics...TRUELY PERFECTION!

  33. S.... ....

    This Cure sound is magic… travelling and dreaming in the perfect music

    S.... ....

    you are welcome and you will soon see new videos. Have a nice day

    S.... ....

    +Stella another atmosphere

  34. A.... M....

    The 12 inch version is most excellent!!

    A.... M....

    all is perfect :)

  35. E.... b....

    I love you Robert forever

  61. a.... ....

    I read that Robert wanted this to be single but it was the bside to Let's Go to Bed instead. A very rare gem of a song! I am so happy there are over a quarter of a million views of this!

    Thanks for posting this!

  62. M.... ....

    this song is seriously addictive. I think the Japanese Whispers era is one of the most significant in the Cure's career

  63. b.... ....

    oh I got it ,thank you....

  64. J.... ....

    My favourite Cure album, I loved the 80s era Cure! This, Head On The Door, The Top, KMKMKM, the "dark trilogy"....so many gems.

  65. b.... ....

    there was not one cure album I did not like ,speaking of older cure I love them eat,sleep,think and drink to the cure ....you made a great point!!!!!!!!!!!1 c-moon

  66. b.... ....

    I remember my 1st (kiss)...c-moon

  67. H.... R....

    Oh, nvm about who write it, but what's it mean?

  68. H.... R....

    3:37. Did Robert write that? And what's it all mean?

  69. H.... R....

    The world was going New Wave....but the Cure was more....Dark Wave.

  70. O.... ....

    These songs used to be the theme songs for sex, but now I don't even know anyone who knows them. I still remember, however, and as Camus said, I can live in a dead log forever, and watch the seasons change, and be happy.

  71. D.... M....

    crazy sound :v

  72. X.... K....

    somebody died for this.....probably that somebody was me!

  73. P.... K....

    Diese Musik begleitet mich schon seit 20 jahren und ich bin erst 32...

  74. M.... G....

    It's real cool how they were turning pop, yet they weren't exactly pop, just another side of
    them sure.

  75. N.... ....

    GRANDIIIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!

  76. L.... ....

    I love this bubbling guitar sound.

  77. N.... ....

    @Dani333ela I know. Kinda hard to keep up! Just when I think I've heard them all....another gem pops up.

  78. T.... P....

    music of this song reminds me Joy Division...

  79. A.... b....
