The Cure - songwords

Fantastic, if your into The Cure. A must for all Cure fans. All lyrics to all the songs up until the late eighties early nineties.

The most beautiful poetry of our time.

Robert Smith's lyrics are of another world. He is the only true poet of our generation. His words can create emotions that Dickinson would be jealous of. The Cure Songwords is an incredible book every Cure fan must own. As for those who do not know of the Cure. Just read the book and you'll know the beauty of Robert Smith.

"Songwords" is pure poetry.

Robert Smith is undoubtably one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. His lyrics are full of unique imagery, with emotions that range from the highs of elation to the depths of dispair... The words are sometimes soothing-- other times bordering on disturbing and bizarre-- but always honest and thought-provoking. His lyrics stand alone beautifully as modern poetry.

Simply a must for collectors....

This is the collection of emotions, more than words... a collection of thoughts an history of the Cure. Lyrics to everything up through Disentigration, it is a must for any die hard Cure collector. Ever wonder what the lyrics to some of those b-sides on the Kiss Me album, they're in here!!!

an ESSENTIAL for Cure fans everywhere

Songwords from 1979-1989. An excellent book. Especially for those early lyrics that aren't in the CD inserts. It's even good as just a book of poetry to read sometimes.
