It's right up there. I saw them a few times in the 80s, the best time at Wembley arena, on the last night of their world tour. Kiss me kiss me kiss me was their latest release back then, which was pretty good too. My fave is 17 seconds
Well being in my late 20s, I'm a bit younger than you but have seen them in Portugal and at Hyde park a few years ago. Just brilliant.
You can only listen to26 bands or Artists, one for each letter of the alphabet, for the rest of your days. "The" doesn't count as "T" and First letter of Surnames for Artists. GO...
Billy was an amazing vocalist. Up there among the best. Allegedly, Robert Smith wrote one of their songs about him after Robert refused a meet with him prior to Billy's suicide. Can't remember which Cure song it was but it contained the lyric "silly mr billy"? Dunno if true or not..
"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand All dry and English slow And you look at me and I understand Yeah it's a look I used to know "Three long years and your favorite man Is that any way to say hello?" And you hold me like you'll never let me go "Oh c'mon and and have a drink with me Sit down and talk a while..." "Oh I wish I could and I will! But now I just don't have the time" And over my shoulder as I walk away I see you give that look goodbye I still see that look in your eye So dizzy Mr Busy, too much rush to talk to Billy All the silly frilly things have to first get done In a minute sometime soon, maybe next time, make it June Until later doesn't always come It's so hard to think "It ends sometime And this could be the last I should really hear you sing again And I should really watch you dance" Because it's hard to think "I'll never get another chance To hold you to hold you" But chilly Mr Dilly, too much rush to talk to Billy All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done In a second, just hang on, all in good time, won't be long Until later I should've stopped to think, I should've made the time I could've had that drink, I could've talked a while I would've done it right, I would've moved us on But I didn't, now it's all too late It's over, over And you're gone I miss you, I miss you, I miss you I miss you, I miss you, I miss you so much But how how many times can I walk away and wish "If only" But how many times can I talk this way and wish "If only" Keep on making the same mistake Keep on aching the same heartbreak I wish "If only" But "If only" Is a wish too late
I saw them twice. In the Glasgow Barrowlands and in the old Glasgow Apollo. I am famous because you can see the back of my head when BBC2 filmed the Barrowlands.
