This song was TOTALLY life changing to me. It's about Robert Smith wearing a dress and traveling on a train (listen to his intro on Live In Orange). I heard this song when I was 18 and I could not believe my ears. I am a transsexual and hence I instantly bonded with Robert. My life has never been the same since and Robert will always be my one and only inspiration. Thank you Robert.
"Go go go!
Push him away
No no no!
Don't let him stay..."
:: push away the man inside
"He gets inside to stare at her
The seeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you"
:: he will become her inside the train in the lonely mirrored room
"A smile to hide the fear away"
:: oh how i know this fear (and excitement)
"Oh! smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be"
:: there is NO other way to be
"Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time..."
:: outgrowing everything (literally and figuratively)
@michellecats For those that want confirmation of this look for "the cure Orange 86/87 (video 2) on youtube" Right before he plays push at the 4:30 mark he says its about him wearing a dress on a train. I didnt type the link directly because I wasnt sure if it would be blocked.
