The Cure

Does anyone else think this song sounds alot like "Lovesong" by The Cure? Hint hint.

This is based off of the live version found on Youtube. I realize these may not be correct, so I greatly appreciate any help in deciphering the lyrics -- especially the ones I couldn't get. I'm not too sure about the section with the ((???)) at the top and bottom.

my goodness, you're brave to attempt this one xD I really wanted to get either the cure or the ocean but in both cases I started listening to them, ready to write things down, and as soon as she started singing I was terrified and gave up hahaha you did really well though, I can't seem to figure out anything you didn't get. can't wait for the cd so we can get all the lyrics down for sure!

I'm sure once we know the lyrics, we'll be able to listen to the Rifflandia concert and go, "Oh, it's so obvious now!" xD

how i hear the lyrics:

Begging like you might take order in your own hands i stare seems like i don’t care drop a chance in your hands stand(?)

i know the bad’s gotta fix itself correct overtime and i know ‘cause i’ve got the cure i’ve got a cure for your crimes

all i dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all i said to you all i did for you seems so silly to me now.

screaming like no one might call the cops and arrest you this time standing back against my buildings back (?) you’re hoping for a ride

i know the worlds been mean to you i’ve got a cure, hold tight i know the worlds not fair to you i’ve got a cure for it’s crimes

all i dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all i said to you all i did for you seems so silly to me now.

oh oh, when you say it so so slowly to me, oh oh well i keep going oh no i run while knowing no no i know you need it so so i need it too, and oh oh i must keep going, so so you must to, and oh oh when you say it so so, slowly to me, oh oh well i keep going, no no i run while knowing, no no i know you need it so so i need it too, and oh oh i must keep going, so you must to oh oh

i’ve got a cure i’ve got the cure for you i’ve got a cure i’ve got the cure

all i dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all i said to you all i did for you seems so silly to me now.

all i dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all i said to you all i did for you seems so silly to me now.

i’ve got a cure i’ve got the cure for you i’ve got a cure i’ve got the cure for you

grammar and a few missing words. the meaning of this one is pretty obvious.

Begging like you might take order in your own hands I stare, seems like I don’t care drop a chance in your handstand

I know the bad’s gotta fix itself correct overtime and I know ‘cause I’ve got the cure I’ve got a cure for your crimes

all I dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all I said to you all I did for you seems so silly to me now

screaming like no one might call the cops and arrest you this time standing back against my buildings back door you’re hoping for a ride

I know the world’s been mean to you I’ve got a cure, hold tight I know the world’s not fair to you I’ve got a cure for its crimes

all I dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all I said to you all I did for you seems so silly to me now.

Oh oh, when you say it so so slowly to me, oh oh well I keep going oh no I run while knowing no no I know you need it so so I need it too, and oh oh I must keep going, so so you must too, and oh oh when you say it so so, slowly to me, oh oh will I keep going, no no I run while knowing, no no I know you need it so so I need it too, and oh oh I must keep going, so you must too oh oh

I’ve got a cure I’ve got the cure for you I’ve got a cure I’ve got the cure

all I dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all I said to you all I did for you seems so silly to me now

all I dreamed of, all that seemed like love, seems silly to you now all I said to you all I did for you seems so silly to me now

I’ve got a cure I’ve got the cure for you I’ve got a cure I’ve got the cure for you

correct over time, not overtime

and it's all that seemed like luck, not seemed like love. =)

I don't know. I'm hearing "love," and I think that makes more sense with the song. She's saying that all the moments she thought were love seem so ridiculous and silly in the other person's head. Therefore, doing all of those things and saying all of those things seem silly to her {i.e., Tegan} because of that. Does that make sense?

but listen really closely. she clearly pronounces a "ck" sound. I feel like love would be better, but she's definitely saying luck here. I kind of think she might have been saying love in the rifflandia recording, though..but not sure.
