srtacarolina said: so hard to choose just 5 songs! and so many left on the side! Robert's a poet. I listend and play a lot of music, but The Cure is still the most expressive band ever, mature, and compromised. It's not just complaining and wining. luv them. (11/14/2008)

nykittie89 said: It was really difficult to pick only 5 songs! (11/16/2008)

reply

Jaymz said: It would have been easier to list the 5 least liked lyrics. But then, even that would not have been easy. There are Cure songs that touch me more than others, but that doesn´t say anything about the quality of those not chosen. So maybe, the question is more like "Which lyrics can you relate most to", not "which lyrics do you think are best".... (11/17/2008)

reply

darobsmith said: sorry for my "english", i m french and i think mykittie89 said is true. all i want is the cure continue and it's too difficuly to choise five lyrics because the cure is one ... (11/17/2008)

Grubbanax said: Pirate Ships is my fav at the mo' - cause it's more FOLKY and I'm into the Neo Folk (acid/Freak folk, Dark/noir folk, apocalyptic folk et al.) right NOW. Listen to Devendra, Death In June and CURRENT 93 more than anything else. (1/8/2009)

the Cure has been my favorite band since '82 when I first heard Pornography -- and has kept me sane since.. don't forget RS wrote almost all of the music as well (all parts) (3/4/2009)

hawkwindcadet said: This was a very difficult decision for only a top 5. I have "EASY CURE" tattooed permanently across my knuckles because I want people to see first and foremost I am a total Cure fan. (3/28/2009)

reply

buffaloboymike said: This is hard because they have a lot of great lyrical songs, I would say the following would make a good top five 1. Unstuck- Great pop tune that should have been a single off wish 2. Fascination Street- Always been one of my favorites 3. A Forest- great synth tune and the lyrics match up with the song perfectly 4. Killing An Arab- He uses Albert Camus References throughout how can you not include this tune as one of the best lyrical songs when he is basically quoting one of the best Authors of all time. 5. Lullaby- great song, probably their most imaginative lyrically. (3/28/2009)

frogskin said: It's been almost 15 years I've been listening to The Cure... some of my favorites... 1. Love song 2. Trust 3. Pictures of you 4. Just like heaven 5. From the edge of the deep green sea (5/28/2009)

chinda63 said: The Caterpillar remains my favourite Cure song of all time - and I consider it has the best lyrics. Second is Love Cats and third is Charlotte Sometimes. (6/16/2009)

reply

cherrygirl said: This is sooo hard, but think my favorite Cure lyrics are from Charlotte Sometimes - was facinated by the book as a child and read it many times. The rest of my top 5 would include Boys Dont Cry, Catch, Why Cant i Be You and Let's Go to Bed. (7/14/2009)
