Let's Go To Bed Lyrics

Let me take your hand
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 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 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

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo
Let's Go To Bed

Let's Go To Bed

Speaking to the Rock 'n' Roll Alternative Show in 1983, frontman Robert Smith said that he didn't want this sarcastic reflection on sexual imagery in pop music ever to be released. "It wasn't as dumb as I wanted it to be," he explained. "It was really me reacting against The Cure's image, the states we've gone through. So I wanted to do something that was really, really dumb and pop. The words mean nothing. Once I recorded it I thought maybe this isn't quite right. And it was taken over and taken to its logical conclusion and released... Looking back maybe it wasn't such a bad thing. But at the time I was really, really angry 'cause I didn't want it released."

The song was a moderate hit, doing especially well in Australia, where it reached #15.

This was both the first and last song played on WFNX. The Boston Alternative Rock radio station played the tune when they signed on in 1983, and as the final song broadcast on their last day on the air: July 20, 2012.

The Walk Lyrics

I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door
We walked around the 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

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

The Walk Song Chart

When this was first released many people thought The Cure had ripped off the sound of New Order's "Blue Monday." Though many fingers were pointed at The Cure, no actions were ever taken due to the fact that this was written and recorded before, but released after "Blue Monday." The likeness between the two was proven to be nothing more than coincidence.

There have been several versions of this track. The band re-recorded it for their 1990 remix album Mixed up, as the original master tapes had been lost. They also recorded an acoustic version for their 2001 Greatest Hits album, which included a bonus disc featuring exclusively acoustic renderings of their songs.

This was the first Cure song to enter the UK top 20, and it put unprecedented pressures on the band for commercial success. In a 1983 interview with the Italian magazine Rockerilla, vocalist and primary lyricist Robert Smith said: "There was so much pressure around 'The Walk' because it went in the charts and now everyone wants another single. We must resist this temptation, I'm tired of being bound to the same group of people, the same music area. People don't understand why we split up, since this would be the ideal moment to take advantage of three years of incessant touring. Everyone was saying that our next album would be the definitive one, but we decided to call it quits without reaching our initial goals."
