2 Late Lyrics

Lyric discussion by fuckoffanddieok 

Cover art for 2 Late lyrics by Cure, The

"So I'll wait for you Where I always wait Behind the signs that sell the news"

this gives the impression of a secret romance

"And hope for you One day that once Spent out on me And up 'til late"

hoping one day they dont have to hide the secret.

"I search for you Your hat pushed straight Away from me Your measured step Heads up you win Always too late"

this is brilliant wordsmanship. He cant find her and he knows she could find him if she wanted to.

"If I could just once catch your eye Invisible against the words That hold you down in solitude And never let you go The way that every time My eyes just close Like lids of wooden men in file I put you under rainy day Your hat's all off And I'm gone away..."

please let me see you again and I wont disapoint you.

(this song may be the most brilliant love song ever recorded that noone heard, it's buried as a b side on the love song single)

@fuckoffanddieok I actually got the single because I saw that the B-side wasn't on any of their albums; just had to have every single Cure song that existed anywhere. I'd just discovered them in '87 or '88 (actually, I'd just discovered that there was popular music out there that was really good โ€” I was just a kid and the '80s in America was largely a cultural wasteland), so (Kiss Me)^3 was the first album of theirs I got (drove my parents mad, I'm sure, listening to music nonstop!).
