Boys don't cry

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I've said too much
Been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness
Plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already
Gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes

Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I ragazzi non piangono

Musica di Robert Smith
Parole di Robert Smith
Cantata da Robert Smith
Pubblicata come singolo


Direi che mi dispiace
Se pensassi che ti farebbe cambiare idea
Ma so che questa volta
Ho detto troppo
Sono stato troppo crudele

Cerco di riderci sopra
Di coprire tutto con le bugie
Provo e ci rido sopra
Nascondendo le lacrime agli occhi

Perché i ragazzi non piangono
I ragazzi non piangono

Mi getterei ai tuoi piedi
E ti chiederei perdono
Ti supplicherei
Ma so che è troppo tardi
E ora non c'è niente che possa fare

Così cerco di riderci sopra
Coprendo tutto con le bugie
Cerco di riderci sopra
Nascondendo le lacrime agli occhi

Perché i ragazzi non piangono
I ragazzi non piangono

Ti direi che ti amavo
Se pensasso che saresti resteresti
Ma so che non serve a niente
Che tu sei già
Andata via

Ho giudicato male i tuoi limiti
Ti ho spinta troppo lontano
Ti ho dato per scontata
Credevo che avessi più bisogno di me

Ora farei qualsiasi cosa
Per averti di nuovo qui al mio fianco
Ma non faccio nient'altro che ridere
Nascondendo le lacrime agli occhi

Perché i ragazzi non piangono
I ragazzi non piangono
I ragazzi non piangono


A forest

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


Come closer and see
See into the trees
Find the girl
While you can
Come closer and see
See into the dark
Just follow your eyes
Just follow your eyes

I hear her voice
Calling my name
The sound is deep
In the dark
I hear her voice
And start to run
Into the trees
Into the trees

Into the trees

Suddenly I stop
But I know it's too late
I'm lost in a forest
All alone
The girl was never there
It's always the same
I'm running towards nothing
Again and again and again and again and again...
And again

Una foresta

Musica di Robert Smith
Parole di Robert Smith
Cantata da Robert Smith
Pubblicata come singolo


Avvicinati e guarda
Guarda tra gli alberi
Trova la ragazza
Mentre puoi
Avvicinati e guarda
Guarda nel buio
Basta che segua i tuoi occhi
Basta che segua i tuoi occhi

Sento la sua voce
Che mi chiama
Il suono è profondo
Nell'oscurità
Sento la sua voce
E incomincio a correre
Tra gli alberi
Tra gli alberi

Tra gli alberi

Improvvisamente mi fermo
Ma so che è troppo tardi
Mi sono perso nella foresta
Completamente solo
La ragazza non c'è mai stata
È sempre così
Corro verso il nulla
Ancora e ancora e ancora e ancora e ancora...
E ancora


Let's go to bed

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


Let me take your hands
I'm shaking like milk
Turning, turning blue
All over the windows and the floors
Fires outside in the sky
Look as perfect as cats
The two of us together again
But it's just the same
A stupid game

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it
If you won't say it first

You think you're tired now
But wait until three...
Laughing at the Christmas lights
You remember from December
All of this then back again
Another girl another name
Stay alive but stay the same
It's a stupid game
Stupid game

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't play it
If you won't play it first

You can't even see now
So you ask me the way
You wonder if it's real
Because it couldn't be rain...
Through the right doorway
And into the white room
It used to be the dust that would lay here
When I came here alone

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't play it
If you won't play it first
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's go to bed!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Let's go to bed!

Let's go to bed!

Andiamo a letto

Musica di Robert Smith
Parole di Robert Smith
Cantata da Robert Smith
Pubblicata come singolo


Lascia che ti prenda le mani
Sto tremando come il latte
Diventando, diventando blu
Su tutte le finestre ed i pavimenti
Incendi fuori nel cielo
Siamo perfetti come i gatti
Noi due di nuovo insieme
Ma è solo lo stesso
Stupido gioco

Ma non m'interessa se non interessa a te
E non provo niente se non tu provi niente
E non voglio se tu non vuoi
E non lo dirò
Se non lo dirai tu per prima

Credi di essere stanca adesso
Ma aspetta fino alle tre...
Ridiamo alle luci natalizie
Te le ricordi da dicembre
Tutto ciò e poi di nuovo
Un'altra ragazza, un altro nome
Sopravvivi ma rimani la stessa
È uno stupido gioco
Stupido gioco

Ma non m'interessa se non interessa a te
E non provo niente se non tu provi niente
E non voglio se tu non vuoi
E non giocherò
Se non giocherai tu per prima

Non puoi nemmeno più vedere ora
Così mi chiedi la strada
Ti meravigli che sia vero
Perché non può essere pioggia...
Attraverso la giusta porta
E dentro la stanza bianca
C'era la polvere stesa qui
Quando ci sono venuto da solo

Ma non m'interessa se non interessa a te
E non provo niente se non tu provi niente
E non voglio se tu non vuoi
E non giocherò
Se non giocherai tu per prima
Oh oh oh oh oh
Andiamo a letto!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Andiamo a letto!

Andiamo a letto!


The walk

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around a lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again

Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
And both play dead then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant
I remembered everything...
Everything...
Everything...
Everything...

I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look
Like a Japanese baby
In an instant
I remembered everything...
Everything...
Everything...
Everything...

Take me for a walk
Take me for a walk
Let's go on a walk
Take me for a walk

La passeggiata

Parole di Robert Smith
Cantata da Robert Smith
Pubblicata come singolo


Ti ho chiamata dopo mezzanotte
E poi ho corso fino a scoppiare
Ho superato la donna che ululava
E mi sono fermato davanti alla tua porta
Abbiamo camminato attorno al lago
E ci siamo svegliati nella pioggia
E tutti si sono girati
Proccupati nei loro sogni nuovamente

L'ora della visita è finita
E così ci allontaniamo
E entrambi fingiamo di essere morti poi urliamo
Perché urliamo sempre così?
Ti ho baciato nell'acqua
Ed ho fatto cantare le tue labbra secche
Ho visto che sembravi
Una bimba giapponese
In un istante
Ho ricordato tutto...
Tutto...
Tutto...
Tutto...

Ti ho chiamata dopo mezzanotte
Poi ho corso fino a scoppiare
Ho superato la donna che ululava

Ho visto che sembravi
Una bimba giapponese
In un istante

Portami a fare una passeggiata

The lovecats

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we walk
The way we talk
The way we stalk
The way we kiss
We slip through the streets
While everyone sleeps
Getting bigger and sleeker
And wider and brighter
We bite and scratch and scream all night
Let's go and throw
All the songs we know...

Into the sea
You and me
All years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty!
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to tea, huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up by the fire and sleep for awhile
It's a grooviest thing
It's a perfect dream

Into the sea
You and me
All years and no one heard
I'll show you in spring
It's a treacherous thing
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats

We're so wonderfully, wonderfully
Wonderfully, wonderfully pretty!
Oh, you know that I'd do anything for you...
We should have each other to dinner, huh?
We should have each other with cream
Then curl up in the fire get up for a while
It's a grooviest thing
It's a perfect dream

Hand in hand
Is the only way to land
Always the right way round
Not broken in pieces
Like hated little meeces...
How could we miss
Someone as dumb as this?
"We missed you" hissed the lovecats
I love you... Let's go...
Oh... Solid gone...

How could we miss someone as dumb as this?

I gatti in amore

Musica di Robert Smith
Parole di Robert Smith
Cantata da Robert Smith
Pubblicata come singolo


Ci muoviamo come tigri ingabbiate
Non potremmo essere più vicini di così
Come camminiamo
Come parliamo
Come facciamo l'agguato
Come ci baciamo
Scivoliamo lungo le strade
Mentre tutti dormono
Diventando più grossi e sinuosi
Grandi e lucenti
Mordiamo e graffiamo ed urliamo tutta la notte
Andiamo e gettiamo
Tutte le canzoni che conosciamo...

Nel mare
Tu ed io
Tutti questi anni e nessuno ha saputo
Ti mostrerò in primavera
È una cosa pericolosa
"Ci sei mamcato" sibilarono i gatti in amore
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore

Siamo così meravigliosamente, meravigliosamente
Meravigliosamente, meravigliosamente carini!
Oh, sai che farei qualsiasi cosa per te...
Potremo vederci per un tè, eh?
Dovremo mangiarci con la crema
E poi appallottolarci vicino al fuoco e dormire un po'
È la cosa più bella
È un sogno perfetto

Nel mare
Tu ed io
Tutti questi anni e nessuno ha saputo
Ti mostrerò in primavera
È una cosa pericolosa
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore

Siamo così meravigliosamente, meravigliosamente
Meravigliosamente, meravigliosamente carini!
Oh, sai che farei qualunque cosa per te...
Dovremmo cenare insieme, eh?
Dovremmo mangiarci con la crema
E poi appallottolarci nel fuoco e alzarci per un po'
È la cosa più bella
È un sogno perfetto

Mano nella mano
È l'unico modo per atterrare
E sempre nel modo giusto
Non rotti in pezzi
Come piccoli topi odiati
Come potrebbe mancarci
Qualcuno così stupido?
"Ci sei mancato" sibilarono i gatti in amore
Ti amo... Su andiamo...
Oh... Tutta andata...

Come potrebbe mancarci qualcuno così stupido?


Inbetween days

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith


Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me and be her
Inbetween without you
Without you

Close to me

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

Just try to see in the dark
Just try to make it work
To feel the fear before you're here
I make the shapes come much too close
I pull my eyes out
Hold my breath
And wait until I shake

But if I had your faith
Then I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door was a dream

I've waited hours for this
I've made myself so sick
I wish I'd stayed asleep today
I never thought that this day would end
I never thought that tonight could ever be
This close to me

But if I had your face
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure
That my head on the door
Was a dream

Why can't I be you?

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


You're so gorgeous I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect you're so right as rain
You make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistable
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?
Why can't I be you?

Just like Heaven

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


"Show me how you do that trick
The one that makes me scream" she said
"The one that makes me laugh" she said
And threw her arms around my neck
"Show me how you do it
And I promise you I promise that
I'll run away with you
I'll run away with you"

Spinning on that dizzy edge
I kissed her face and kissed her head
And dreamed of all the different ways I had
To make her glow
"Why are you so far away?" she said
"Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you
That I'm in love with you"

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Strange as angels
Dancing in the deepest oceans
Twisting in the water
You're just like a dream

Daylight licked me into shape
I must have been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone alone
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me

You
Soft and only
You
Lost and lonely
You
Just like Heaven

Lullaby

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


On candystripe legs the spiderman comes
Softly through the shadow of the evening sun
Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
Looking for the victim shivering in bed
Searching out fear in the gathering gloom
And suddenly!
A movement in the corner of the room!
And there is nothing I can do
When I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still, be calm, be quiet now, my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more
For it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning
I will wake up in the shivering cold

And the spiderman is always hungry...

Cantata da Robert Smith

Su zampe a strisce colorate l'uomo ragno si avvicina
Dolcemente nell'ombra del sole della sera
Sfiorando le finestre dei morti ignari
Cercando la vittima che rabbrividisce nel letto
Ricercando la paura nella disperazione crescente
E di colpo!
Un movimento nell'angolo della stanza!
E non posso farci niente
Quando impaurito capisco
Che stasera sono la cena dell'uomo ragno!

Tranquillamente ride e scuotendo la testa
Striscia più vicino
Vicino fino ai piedi del letto
E più morbido di un'ombra e più lesto di una mosca
Ho addosso le sue braccia e la lingua negli occhi
"Non muoverti, fermo, calmo, mio prezioso bambino
Non agitarti così o ti amerò solo di più
Perchè è troppo tardi per scappare o accendere la luce
Stasera sei la cena dell'uomo ragno"

E mi sento come se venissi mangiato
Da mille milioni di buchi pelosi e tremanti
E so che alla mattina
Mi sveglierò e tremerò di freddo

E l'uomo ragno ha sempre fame...

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am home again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am whole again

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am young again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am fun again

However far away
I will always love you
However long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am free again
Whenever I'm alone with you
You make me feel like I am clean again

However far away
I will always love you
How ever long I stay
I will always love you
Whatever words I say
I will always love you
I will always love you

Ogni volta che sono solo con te
Mi fai sentire come se fossi di nuovo a casa
Ogni volta che sono solo con te
Mi fai sentire come se fossi di nuovo completo

Per quanto a lungo io resti
Ti amerò per sempre
Qualunque parola io dica
Ti amerò per sempre

Ogni volta che sono solo con te
Mi fai sentire come se fossi di nuovo libero
Ogni volta che sono solo con te
Mi fai sentire come se fossi di nuovo pulito

Per quanto lontano

Per quanto a lungo io resti
Ti ameròper sempre
Qualunque parola io dica
Ti amerò per sempre
Ti amerò per sempre


Never enough

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith

However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
It's never enough
However much I do

However big I ever feel
It's never enough
Whatever I do to make it real
It's never enough
And any way I try to speak
It's never enough
It's never enough
However much I try to speak
It's never enough

However much I'm falling down
It's never enough
However much I'm falling out
It's never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
It's never enough
It's never enough
However I smile I smile the most

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it up for just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
But whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough

However much I push it down
It's never enough
However much I push it around
It's never enough
However much I make it out
It's never enough
However much I do
It's never enough
It's never enough

However much I'm falling down
It's never enough
However much I'm falling out
It's never enough
Whatever smile I smile the most
It's never enough
However I smile I smile the most

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it up for just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
But whatever I do it's never enough
Never enough

So let me hold it up just one more go
Holding it up for just once more
One more time to fill it up
One more time to kill
But whatever I do it's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough
It's never enough

High

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


When I see you sky as a kite
As high as I might
I can't get that high
The how you move
The way you burst the clouds
It makes me want to try

When I see you sticky as lips
As licky as trips
I can't lick that far
But when you pout
The way you shout out loud
It makes me want to start
And when I see you happy as a girl
That swims in a world of magic show
It makes me bite my fingers through
To think I could've let you go

And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I say I'll keep on holding you
My arms so tight
I'll never let you slip away

And when I see you kitten as a cat
Yeah as smitten as that
I can't get that small
The way you fur
The how you purr
It makes me want to paw you all
And when I see you happy as a girl
That lives in a world of make-believe
It makes me pull my hair all out
To think I could've let you leave

And when I see you
Take the same sweet steps
You used to take
I know I'll keep on holding you
In arms so tight
They'll never let you go

Quando ti vedo in cielo come un'aquilone
Alta come potrei
Non ce la faccio a salire così tanto
Come ti muovi
Il modo in cui laceri le nuvole
Mi fa venire voglia di provare

Quando ti vedo appiccicosa come le labbra
Da leccare come un viaggio
Non posso leccare così tanto
Ma quando sei imbronciata
Il modo in cui urli
Mi fa venire voglia di iniziare
E quando ti vedo felice come una ragazzina
Che nuota in un mondo di magia
Mi viene da mangiarmi le unghie fino all'osso
A pensare che stavo per lasciarti andare

E quando ti vedo
Fare gli stessi teneri passi
Di prima
Mi dico che continuerò a tenerti
Fra le mie braccia così stretta
Non ti lascierò mai scivolare via

Quando ti vedo micia come una gatta
Sì, così presa
Non posso diventare così piccolo
Come ti appallottoli
Come fai le fusa
Mi viene voglia di toccarti tutta
E quando ti vedo felice come una ragazzin a
Che vive in un mondo immaginario
Mi viene da strapparmi i capelli
A pensare che stavo per lasciarti andare

E quando ti vedo
Fare gli stessi teneri passi
Di prima
Mi dico che continuerò a tenerti
Tra le braccia così strette
Non ti lascerò mai andare



Friday I'm in love

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith
Released as a single


I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

I don't care if Mondays's black
Tuesday Wednesday heart attack
Thursday never looking back
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can hold your head
Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed
Or Thursday watch the walls instead
It's Friday I'm in love

Saturday wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday never hesitate...

Dressed up to the eyes
It's a wonderful surprise
To see your shoes and your spirits rise
Throwing out your frown
And just smiling at the sound
And as sleek as a shriek
Spinning round and round
Always take a big bite
It's such a gorgeous sight
To see you eat in the middle of the night
You can never get enough
Enough of this stuff
It's Friday I'm in love

I don't care if Monday's blue
Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don't care about you
It's Friday I'm in love

Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday Wednesday break my heart
Thursday doesn't even start
It's Friday I'm in love

Pubblicata come singolo


Non m'interessa se Lunedì è triste
Martedì è grigio e Mercoledì pure
Al Giovedì non m'interessi
E' di Venerdì che sono innamorato

Di Lunedì puoi stare malissimo
Martedì Mercoledì spezzami il cuore
Giovedì non inizia neppure
E' di Venerdì che sono innamorato

Sabato aspetta
E Domenica arriva sempre troppo tardi
Ma al Venerdì non esitare mai...

Non m'interessa se Lunedì è cupo
Martedì e Mercoledì da infarto
Giovedì non ci si guarda mai indietro
E' di Venerdì che sono innamorato

Al Lunedì puoi prenderti la testa tra le mani
Martedì e Mercoledì sta a letto
Di Giovedì guardati un pò le pareti
E' di venerdì che sono innamorato

Sabato aspetta
E Domenica arriva sempre troppo tardi
Ma al Venerdì non esitare mai...

Vestita di tutto punto
E' una bellissima sorpresa
Notare le tue scarpe e vederti volare
Buttare via le preoccupazioni
E sorr idere al suono
Levigato come uno strillo
Che gira e rigira
Ne prendi sempre un bel morso
E' così bello
Vederti mangiare a tarda notte
Non ne hai mai abbastanza
Abbastanza di questo
E' al Venerdì che sono innamorato

Non m'interessa se Lunedì è triste
Martedì è grigio e Mercoledì pure
Al Giovedì non m'interessi
E' di Venerdì che sono innamorato

Di Lunedì puoi stare malissimo
Martedì Mercoledì spezzami il cuore
Giovedì non inizia neppure
E' di Venerdì che sono innamorato

The sun is up
I'm so happy I could scream!
And there's nowhere else in the world
I'd rather be
Than here with you
It's perfect
It's all I ever wanted
I almost can't believe that it's for real

I really don't think it gets any better than this
Vanilla smile
And a gorgeous strawberry kiss!
Birds sing we swing
Clouds drift by and everything is like a dream
It's everything I wished

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it again?
I know we should!!!

The sun is up
I'm so fizzy I could burst!
You wet through and me headfirst
Into this is perfect
It's all I ever wanted
Ow! it feels so big it almost hurts!

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it some more?
I know we should!!!

Say it will always be like this
The two of us together
I t will always be like th is
Forever and ever and ever...

Never guessed it got this good
Wondered if it ever would
Really didn't think it could
Do it all the time?
I know that we should!!!

Il sole è alto
Sono così felice che potrei urlare!
E non esiste nessun altro posto al mondo
In cui mi piacerebbe essere
Più che essere qui con te
E' perfetto
E' tutto ciò che ho sempre desiderato
Quasi non riesco a credre che sia vero

Davvero non penso che possa migliorare ulteriormente
Sorriso alla vaniglia
Ed un incredibile bacio alla fragola!
Gli uccelli cantano, noi balliamo
Le nuvole fluttuano via ed ogni cosa è come un sogno
E' tutto ciò che ho sempre desiderato

Non ho mai immaginato che sarebbe stato così bello
Mi sono sempre chiesto se sarebbe stato
Davvero non ho mai pensato che avrebbe potuto
Farlo di nuovo?
So che dovremmo!!!

Il sole è alto
Sono così frizzante che potrei esplodere!
Tu tutta bagnata ed io a testa in giù
Qua dentro è perfetto
E' tutto ciò che ho sempre voluto
Oh! e' così intenso che fa quasi male!

Non ho mai immaginato che sarebbe stato così bello
Mi sono sempre chiesto se sarebbe stato
Davvero non ho mai pensato che avrebbe potuto
Farlo di nuovo?
So che dovremmo!!!

Diciamo che sarà sempre così
Noi due insieme
Sarà sempre così
Per sempre e ancora e ancora...

Non ho mai immaginato che sarebbe stato così bello
Mi sono sempre chiesto se sarebbe stato
Davvero non ho mai pensato che avrebbe potuto
Farlo di nuovo?
So che dovremmo!!!

Lime green, lime green, lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing?
Lime green, lime green, and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams?
Lime green, lime green, lime green and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the snakes I'm seeing?
Lime green, lime green, and tangerine
Are the sickly sweet colours of the devil in my dreams?
It gets to Friday and I give you a call

"You know I'm getting kind of worried
No, she doesn't seem herself at all
Lime green and a sickly kind of orange
I've never seen her like this before"

I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
"Can you dig it?"

I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
And now I dig it in the dirt
And I'm down here for a while

You've got to make up your mind and make it soon
Is there room in your life
For one more trip to the moon?
Is there room in your life
For one more?

Burn red, burn red, burn red, burn red, and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the snakes I hold?
Burn red, burn red, burn red and gold
Are the deep dark colours of the devil at home?

"She pulls me down just as I'm trying to hide
Grabs me by the hair and drags me outside
And starts digging in the dirt
For a not so early bird it's the only way
For her to get the worm"

I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
Red and blue soul with a snow white smile
"Can you dig it?"

I had the best laid plans this side of America
Started out in church and finished with Angelica
And now I dig it in the dirt
And I'll be down here for a while

"Hello? Are you still there?"
And much too late
"Sorry, wrong number!"

"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 favourite man...
is that any way to say hello?"
and you hold me...
like you'll never let me go

"oh c'mon and have a drink with me
sit down and talk awhile... "
"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 awhile
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 many times can i walk away
and wish "if only... "
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...

Just say yes

Music by Robert Smith
Lyrics by Robert Smith
Vocals by Robert Smith


Say this is it
Don't say maybe
Don't say no
Say this is it
Don't say hold on
Don't say slow
Say this is it
Don't say next time
Don't say when
Say this is it
Don't say later
No, don't say then

Just say yes! Do it now!
Let yourself go!
Just leap! Don't look!
Or you'll never know
If you love it
You might really love it
If you love it
You might really love it!

Oh come on and love it!

Yeah, this is it
Don't be cautious
Don't think twice
This is it
Don't play it safe
Don't put on ice
Yeah, this is it
Don't chew it over
No don't kick it around
This is it
Don't wait and see
Don't try to work it out

Just say yes! Do it now!
Let yourself go!
Just leap! Don't look!
Or you'll never know...
If you love it
You might really love it!

So don't tell me
It could all go wrong
No don't tell me
It could all be a mess
Oh don't tell me
It could all be a waste of time
Just say oui! Si! Sim! Da! Ja! Yow! Igen! Kylla!
Just say yes!
