Lullaby - The Cure

Es de viejos recuerdos de aprender a escuchar. Y de buscar sensaciones con solo cerrar los ojos. Es de esas canciones que casi daban miedo, y que ahora creo que acunan bastante bien.
Ponla de nuevo de noche, con el eterno vino en la mano y el mejor ánimo. El año se termina y quiero saborearlo un poco, porque en la balanza no me quejo, ha sido mejor que peor.
Buenas noches.

I spy something that starts with s...

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 realize 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...

"Come into my parlour", said the spider to the fly... "I have something here for you"

The walk - The Cure

El tiempo se está pasando corriendo y dando vueltas. Esperando que algunos mensajes no lleguen. Tratando de arreglar acuerdos sobrepuestos. Distribuyendo el tiempo, haciendo caras y marcando poses. Buscando miradas y pretendiendo volar.
Gracias por aparecerte de ve en cuando. Y a ti, gracias por no escribir. Y a mi, gracias por dejarla volar de una vez por todas, y ya no sentirte mal por ello.
Hay que salir a la calle de nuevo mañana...

I called you after midnight
then ran until my heart 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...

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...

maow...
maow...
maow...

Take me for a walk
take me for a walk
let's go in the water
take me for a walk.

Pictures of you - The Cure

Creo que no tengo fotos tuyas. No las que quisiera. Y eso que en los ultimos años no me faltan imágenes para reconstruir las cosas que han pasado, pero de esos dos años, nada,
Quizás es mejor, me dolería un poco ver imágenes retro de pasados felices en este contexto, pero las voy a extrañar en unos años, cuando vea las cosas sin tanta pasión y desde una mecedora más calma. Hoy harían falta para mi. No para tí.
Nadie tiene lo que quiere, y todos extrañamos lo que dejamos atrás. Pero fue para mejor, cada vez estoy más convencido de ello.

I've been looking so long
at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long
with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures are
All I can feel

Remembering
You standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear

Remembering
You running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering
You fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white
So delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering
You how you used to be
Slow drowned
You were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes
But I never see anything
If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you.

Boys don't cry - The Cure

Hoy me está siendo dificil cargar imágenes, y me está siendo dificil escribir pues tengo varios cables cruzados en la cabeza. De verdad fue bueno detenernos así, creo que no me podría perdonar seguir, aunque es solo un tecnicismo clintoniano. Pero la verdad es que solo lo hacía por hacerte sentir bien, ya no más desprecios para tí.
Desde ese punto de vista, todo OK. Desde el punto de vista de las expectativas... no hay ese punto pues no hay expectativas. Se debe acabara este nivel... hay demasiada destrucción a mi alrededor como para crear un nuevo vacío, una nueva necesidad sin futuro.
Me niego a actuar como niño, basta. Fue mejor solo así, y ahora, a otra cosa. Vamos a jugar limpio por una vez pues no me gusta que me ganen la moral con la mirada.
No lo soporto.

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have 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
'Cause 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
'Cause 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, more, 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
'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
