The Cure - Pornography: Wikipedia Album Entry

Pornography, which was released 1982, represents the conclusion of the musical phase which began with Seventeen Seconds and Faith. Often cited as the most disturbing product of The Cure, the album's opening lyrical line is "It doesn't matter if we all die". Despite the fact that very few critics in the British press gave the album a favorable review, Pornography charted well in the UK and has gained much more respect over the years, now considered one of the key Gothic rock albums of all time.

The Cure - Pornography Lyrics

The Cure - The Hanging Garden Lyrics

Creatures kissing in the rain
Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden please don't speak
In the hanging garden no one sleeps

The Cure - Siamese Twins Lyrics

I chose an eternity of this
Like falling angels the world disappeared
Laughing into the fire, is it always like this?
Flesh and blood and the first kiss

The Cure - The Figurehead Lyrics

Sharp and open leave me alone
I'm sleeping less every night
As the days become heavier and weighted
Waiting in the cold light a noise

The Cure - Pornography Lyrics

A hand in my mouth, a life spills into the flowers
We all look so perfect as we all fall down

In an electric glare, the old man cracks with age

The Cure - One Hundred Years Lyrics

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Goin' home time a story on the radio

The Cure - A Short Term Effect Lyrics

Movement no movement
Just a falling bird
Cold as it hits the bleeding ground

The Cure - A Strange Day Lyrics

Give me your eyes
That I might see the blind man kissing my hands
The sun is humming
My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees

The Cure - Cold Lyrics

Scarred, your back was turned
Curled like an embryo
Take another face
You will be kissed again
