Wild Mood Swings

This is the saving grace and it is found tucked right at the end of the album, Wild Mood Swings by The Cure.

There are many ways to love Robert Smith and his merrymen. Be it the way they merry instruments and noise, the cryptic lyrics that make sense only to you, the joy of finding undiscovered gems aside from the many hits from their many albums....

Without this track, the album would have been an utter disgrace.

Bare
If you've got something left to say
You'd better say it now
Anything but "stay"
Just say it now
We know we've reached the end
We just don't know how
"well at least we'll still be friends"
Yeah one last useless vow...

"there are different ways to live"
Yeah I know that stuff
"other ways to give"
Yeah all that stuff
But holding onto used to be
Is not enough
Memory's not life
And it's not love

We should let it all go
It never stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
When you say that I've changed?
When you say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...

And all the tears you cry
They're not tears for me
Regrets about your life
They're not regrets for me
It never turns out how you want
Why can't you see?
It all just slips away
It always slips away
Eventually...

So if you've got nothing left to say
Just say goodbye
Turn your face away
And say goodbye
You know we've reached the end
You just don't know why
And you know we can't pretend
After all this time

So just let it all go
Nothing ever stays the same
So why does it hurt me like this
To say that I've changed?
To say that I've aged?
Say I'm afraid...

But there are long long nights when I lay awake
And I think of what I've done
Of how I've thrown my sweetest dreams away
And what I've really become
And however hard I try
I will always feel regret
However hard I try
I will never forget

I will never forget

Do not attempt to listen to this song with Set The Fire To The Third Bar - Snow Patrol featuring Martha Wainwright, Pills - The Perishers featuring Sarah Isaksson, Sweet Song - Blur, I Wish I Never Saw The Sunshine - Beth Orton, Please Do Not Let Me Go - Ryan Adams, All the songs by Unbelievable Truth. It's intoxicating. And you'd think too much.
