Club America Lyrics
I RIDE INTO YOUR TOWN ON A BIG BLACK TROJAN HORSE
I'M LOOKING TO HAVE SOME FUN
SOME KIND OF TRIGGER-HAPPY INTERCOURSE
"CLUB AMERICA SALUTES YOU" SAYS THE GIRL ON THE DOOR
"WE ACCEPT ALL MAJOR LIES
WE LOVE ANY KIND OF FRAUD
SO GO ON IN AND ENJOY...
GO ON IN AND ENJOY!!!"
I'M BUYING FOR MY BRIGHT NEW FRIENDS
BLUE SUZANNES ALL ROUND
AND MY MOOD IS HEAVILY PREGNANT...
YEAH YOU'RE RIGHT
I COULDN'T HELP BUT NOTICE YOUR ICY BLUE EYES
THEY'VE BEEN BURNING TWO HOLES IN THE SIDES OF MY HEAD
SINCE THE SECOND I ARRIVED
AND IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO GUESS FROM YOUR STICK-ON STARS
AND YOUR CANARY FEATHER DRESS
YOUR HAIR IN SUCH A CAREFULLY CARELESS MESS
THAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING VERY HARD TO IMPRESS
YOU'RE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIFE
SENSATIONAL DAZZLING PERFECTLY SIZED
SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIFE
SHARING IT WITH ME IN CLUB AMERICA TONIGHT...
SO WE TALK FOR A WHILE ABOUT SOME BAND YOU SAW ON TV
BUT I DON'T LISTEN TO YOU AND YOU DON'T LISTEN TO ME
YEAH IT'S AN OLD ROUTINE BUT IT'S A VERY SPECIAL PART OF THE GAME
AND YOU DON'T REALLY CARE WHAT I CALL YOU AT ALL
WHEN I CAN'T QUITE REMEMBER YOUR NAME
AND IT'S NOT TOO HARD TO GUESS FROM YOUR STICK-ON STARS
AND YOUR CANARY FEATHER DRESS
THE WAY YOU'RE SO CAREFULLY COULDN'T CARE LESS
THAT YOU'RE REALLY TRYING VERY HARD TO IMPRESS
YOU'RE SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIFE
SENSATIONAL DAZZLING PERFECTLY SIZED
SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIFE
SHARING IT WITH ME TONIGHT
YEAH YOU'RE A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIFE
FANTASTIC DIVINE AND THRILLINGLY BRIGHT
SUCH A WONDERFUL PERSON LIVING A FABULOUS LIE
WITH ME IN CLUB AMERICA TONIGHT...
I'M LOOKING TO HAVE SOME FUN
SOME KIND OF TRIGGER-HAPPY INTERCOURSE

i heard this was about robert's trip to NYC and how he got caught up in this rock and roll lifestyle type thing while partying with Depeche Mode and the self hatred he felt after it was over
@kid pirate Could be...sounds like the general idea I've always gotten from the song, with key details added. I sort of think of this one and "Round and Round and Round" as being a pair, about the cheesy fakeness of most people at those sorts of parties.

@kid pirate this is correct. You find interviews and excerpts from interviews where he talks about it specifically. Robert Smith has publicly confirmed your statement. He also said he wrote it to explain it away to himself, he felt a lot of guilt, regret and shame over his behavior. There you go!

Ditto, I've also heard that Robert deliberately sang this song in a different voice to reflect that sort of tone. It's a really different type of Cure song from their others and that shows.
This is definitely my favourite song from WMS, the guitar during "you're such a wonderful person...etc" sounds a lot like 'The Man Who Sold the World' by David Bowie.
