Cure, The - The Figurehead Lyrics






Sharp and open
Leave me alone
And sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting
In the cold light
A noise
A scream tears my clothes as the figurines tighten
With spiders inside them
And dust on the lips of a vision of hell
I laughed in the mirror for the first time in a year

A hundred other words blind me with your purity
Like an old painted doll in the throes of dance
I think about tomorrow
Please let me sleep
As I slip down the window
Freshly squashed fly
You mean nothing
You mean nothing

I can lose myself in Chinese art and American girls
All the time
Lose me in the dark
Please do it right
Run into the night
I will lose myself tomorrow
Crimson pain
My heart explodes
My memory in a fire
And someone will listen
At least for a short while

I can never say no to anyone but you

Too many secrets
Too many lies
Writhing with hatred
Too many secrets
Please make it good tonight
But the same image haunts me
In sequence
In despair of time

I will never be clean again
I touched her eyes
Pressed my stained face
I will never be clean again

Touch her eyes
Press my stained face
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again
I will never be clean again

    And sleeping less every night
    As the days become heavier and weighted
    Waiting

    I will never be clean again

  6. B.... R....

    Those who really understand this music, know how great it is.... When crying become a pleasure

  7. A.... C....

    The darkest and the most brilliant song in the history of music, but guess that’s expected from The Cure.

  8. C.... F....

    This song is my whole life.

  9. A.... T....

    That's the all, am.i

  10. a.... m....

    If someone asks "what is Dark music?" This is Dark music!

    a.... m....

    es solo The Cure .. parte de sus inicios de aqui partio lo grande que es el grupo..

  11. A.... P....

    The echo in this track makes it seem so much more powerful and have so much resonance.........

  12. N.... m....

    The joy in sadness

    N.... m....

    The logic of contradiction.

  13. E.... L....

    best album with seveteen seconds!!!!

  14. K.... B....

    My fav track from my favourite Cure album

    K.... B....

    My favourite álbum + my favourite song: Three imaginary boys

    K.... B....

    @Imanol Ansola I saw them perform that many years ago in a small venue = JB's club Dudley. Even briefly spoke to Robert Smith .
    Thought the Cure were awful at Glastonbury this year in 2019. Prefer to keep my memories of the 1970's and 80's .

    K.... B....

    @Keith Bate I would pay for watching that!

    K.... B....

    @Imanol Ansola I did pay on the night . I think it cost me £1
    those were the days !

    K.... B....

    Same for me! And also All cats are grey and The drowning man

  15. P.... S....

    best THE CURE song

    P.... S....

    Siamese Twins + The Figurehead

  16. u.... ....

    None of the later drummers in this band ever came up with beats as epic as the ones on this album. Just sayin'.

    u.... ....

    wtf? and now I can't view the fucking video anymore!

    u.... ....

    Lol Tolhurst was the best drummer from the cure his drums on this and faith are great

  17. m.... t....

    Holy shit this is loose

  18. P.... O....

    Stewart Mason is so wrong on AllMusic commenting this song as a filler... where did he lose his ears? I always loved this, its a masterpiece as the whole album is

  19. M.... K....
