The Hanging Garden Lyrics

Lyric discussion by thom657 

Cover art for The Hanging Garden lyrics by Cure, The

I personally hold a grudge against the Cure because they try to be gothic and dark but half of their songs are very happy at base and when you listen to songs like this the lyrics are very weak and almost half-assed. Either way this song is about using fur as clothing. The "Hanging" Garden means a store where fur is hung on racks. "Wearing furs and masks" , "cover my face as the animals die". It's all pretty self explanatory

@thom657 Not Hardly. They are a not-a-goth band producing gothic (post punk) music and that isn't even the inspiration for this song. Obviously it's not as self explanatory as you think.
