Shakedown 1979, cool kids never have the time
On a live wire right up off the street
You and I should meet
Junebug skipping like a stone
With the headlights pointed at the dawn
We were sure we'd never see an end to it all
And I don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know
Just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
Double cross the vacant and the bored
They're not sure just what we have in store
Morphine city slippin dues down to see
That we don't even care as restless as we are
We feel the pull in the land of a thousand guilts
And poured cement, lamented and assured
To the lights and towns below
Faster than the speed of sound
Faster than we thought we'd go, beneath the sound of hope
Justine never knew the rules,
Hung down with the freaks and the ghouls
No apologies ever need be made, I know you better than you fake it
To see that we don't even care to shake these zipper blues
And we don't know just where our bones will rest
To dust I guess
Forgotten and absorbed into the earth below
The street heats the urgency of now
As you see there's no one around  


1979 RULES!

aaaah no it's nothing!
and it's an awful cliché of a story for sure, but i think everyone around me turned old when i wasn't even 30 yet. suddenly i just didn't get it anymore and had nothing in common with most people, even with some pretty good friends. everyone else was into this house-kids-mortgage-car-dog-etc. thing but me. i was like "wt...?". so i think that's where i just stopped caring and so i don't give a f*** about people's age, really. and i still don't understand why the age should affect the way i am or the way i behave or things i do (most other people around me seem to get this and know how to "act according to their age" so i guess i must a bit dumb or something :P).
our society wants to categorize everything, hierarchisize everything and everyone. like it had the power to tell you what you are/what you can be - i hate that! because the society knows nothing about me...

although not worrying about one's age not the same thing as not being afraid of growing old. of that i'm very concerned, actually. the older i get the more it bothers me. to be honest, most times i can't stand the thought of it. but i guess it's more like fear/regret/awareness of the ending of your life than fear of "being old in the eyes of others" or fear of not meeting up with the some kind of "standards" of your own age.
because f*** the standards!  :)

Well put.  I have 2 direct reports here at work.  One is 21 and the other is 22.  Neither one believed I was 37 because I literally do not act my age.  Why should I act a certain way just because of my age?

@melly:  Not to make you feel old or anything, but my mom is only a few years older than you (she is 56!) :-D

I think I'm older or nearly as old as EVERYONES Mum on here!!!
Turning 50 was HUGE for me... made me stop and think " Shite, over half my life is over".
BUT.... my 50th. celebrations went for a fortnight, had a blast, going out, drinking champagne with friends, many meals in lovely restaurants and culminating in the Cure concert! Fabulous. Got home at 4.30 am the next day, took me a week to get over it, but sure was a birthday to remember!( Thanks Robert!)
Age is a state of mind too... sure, some days I feel 150, but generally, my love of life,my man, family and friends keeps me young at heart...it's not so bad...

I think I'm older or nearly as old as EVERYONES Mum on here!!!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Heh, my daughter is 17 now, and all her school pals think that she has a really 'cool' mum, 'cos I took her to a Cure concert for her birthday this year.  :lol:
I'm nearly 50 now, and some days I feel positively ancient, especially as I have a few health issues. I certainly don't feel 'cool' most days! But, luckily, I look young for my age, and can pass for late 30's...
One thing that worries me - When The Cure played Oslo in February, the last thing Robert said on leaving the stage was, "Thank you, see you in another 16 years," making reference to the fact that they last played Oslo in 1992.
Now, if they don't play in Norway again until 2024, I shall be 65 years old by then, and probably too deaf and doddery to enjoy them properly. Mind you, Robert will be 65, too. Oh boy, what a thought!  :smth100  Hahahahah

I'm 35, and started to really listen to The Cure in 1990, i.e. the year after Disintegration, so i missed out on these great shows. I missed it when it came out, but I started to really getting into the cure with Disintegration and standing on a beach. When Wish came I was totally sold. 1992 was also my first concert in Stockholm. It was amazing.

As to favourite songs I would have to say The Figurehead and The drowning man on cd, and Faith and a forest live.

I was just flicking thru the calendar on here, and came across my own birthdate.. took me a while to submit it to be honest, then thought "what the hell, may as well"... if anyone else flicks through,  and sees me there, they'll probably wonder why there's such a fossil joining in. Let me make it clear.. I am NOT some creepy old woman hanging around with younger ones!! I am quite sane and not to be frightened of ok??!!
You don't have to tell your parents I'm here, I am harmless.. just a friendly "mature" aged woman... ( only my age is mature!)
Just thought I had better clear that up!!   :smth040 :smth042

i'm imagining this future show now...
oh yes, they will come back to oslo in april 2024 and play a really compact acoustic set like this:

main set:

i want to be old

encore 1 (pop encore):
in between days (a new "anti-extended version", consisting only of the first two lines from the first verse: 'yesterday i got so old i felt like i could die, yesterday i got so old it made me want to cry' = the end of the song. )

encore 2:

i want to be old (surprise-reprise! :P)

(they were supposed to play something else as encore 2 but they felt demented and couldn't remember what it was. they had set lists written down but everyone forgot their glasses in the tour bus so they couldn't see what was written on it either. so instead they decided to play "that other song we know!" once more. :D)
after encore 2 they will leave the stage because they feel totally exhausted, like they just gave everything they had! so does the audience btw.
and then everybody goes to bingo and will have some tea & bisquits. everyone's safely back at (the old people's) home and fast asleep by 9:30 pm. :)


(ok sorry everyone i'm not laughing at anyone's age here, just tried to make a (really stupid) joke... because something i once learned from someone, he said: "it's not right when people say that you shouldn't ever joke about serious things - on the contrary, those are EXACTLY the ones that you should joke about. otherwise they might beat you.")

japanesebaby it's ok by me if you're laughing about other peoples ages. I'm in hysterics after reading your post. I work in an aged care facility so dementia is rife and having to deal with it 5 days a week I can see the funny side of it. I have to. :D
I just hope that at this Cure concert in 2024 they don't play A Forest. My God the " Agains" could go on for weeks.
But I'll be the one wandering aimlessly outside the venue with my frame so any of you young people who see me  :smth100. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world even if I can't remeber who I'm there to see. :lol:

you're right, that might turn out a sudden and completely unforeseen fiasco :oops:
another one to avoid would be 'the promise', for the very same reasons: and i waited... and i waited... and i waited... and I'm still waiting...

...help! :smth100

btw, 'wrong number' might also suit them: hello? hello??? "sorry, a wrong number!!"
("oh bugger, who the heck was it that i was supposed to call?? damn this memory...") :P



and yes, i know what you mean, that you have to be able to see the funny side of it in things like dementia if you have to face it on a daily basis. there's no other way to cope with it.
my grandmother had severe dementia during the last 5-6 years of her life, she passed away when i was only about 15 years old. i have very depressive memories of that time and now later on i only regret that i wasn't mature enough to realize how to cope with it. i think all the adults around me were somehow incapable of dealing with it too, too scraed and confused. and so nobody made me see that certain kind of grim humour would have been needed there, to be able to cope with that situation. i guess i was simply too young/too confused to realize it by myself. i really regret that because it made the memory of those last years of my grandmother really depressing. i still feel very bad when i think about it. :(

It's funny this topic,

I thought about it allot since I've been fan of The Cure. You see when I first got to know them I had no idea whatsoever about their fanbase or even themselves, and after liking all the albums I heared of them, I suddenly realised they were 'old men' (caus I was about 13 when I got to know them bettre). So then I met some people to chat with about the Cure via internet, and they were all pretty young girls like myself but of cours, all living on another continent in the world. So then I started looking for fans that were more or less closer to my hometown etc, caus I was actually curious how a 'real curefan' looked like and if I fitted in (I was still only 15 so...Forgive me for this ahaha). So then I found a coupla good fans, and guess what, they were 40 year old men  :-D so I was really doubting wether they'd like me and all and how I was to cope with them, but when I eventually met them, it was like the contrary. It might be a stupid thing to say but actually I think it are one of my best friends and even though we have a such an age difference, we get along so well. 

So then I leraned that....Age doesn't matter, like, REALLY! It explains a big deal about why I don't seem to get along with people of my own age and also why I always DID find my way into nice convers with friends of my parents hahaha.

But yesterday I became 18 years old, so finally I'm thrown into the big world and I hope I won't have anyone making jokes anymore when I go visit the 'cure veterans'  :-D

It wouldn't surprise me if Mr. Smith was STILL going strong then though...

you're absolutely right - so let's postpone that oslo date to... 2054? that would make it sound a bit more believable.  :)

the oslo gig will be part of the warm-up tourthey'll be doing in scandinavia, after which they'll will embark on a full-scale (and fully acoustic!) 14-month world tour with their absolute killer (and fully demented) 2-song set!

:-D

HAHAH that's funny, though today on telly I saw this jazzy sax player who was f*cking 81 already, and he nailed it looking no older than 60, and he was just as fat as Robert! :-D (I dunno wether that will have anything to do with how long they will go on playing! hahaha)

2054??? Good lord...I'll be...ummm....97..... I'll be there!!!  My ambition when I get REALLY old is to be a damned nuisance... elbowing my way through a crowd of Cure fans,screaming at them to "get out the way sonny"... running over peoples toes in my motorised wheelchair sounds just about right!
Might even make my way to the "standing room only" section, swinging my walking cane at anyone who comes near. Turning my hearing aids up to full, groovin' in my wheelchair...as long as it finishes by 7.30pm and they sell milky coffee which I can dunk biscuits in to make em soft enough to eat... YEP! Bring it on!!  :-D

Tell you what, we should all make a pact to meet at the 2054 Oslo concert. Front row.
Hearing aids, false teeth, thick-lens glasses, wigs, walking sticks, wheel chairs an' all.
What fun! We can be as embarassing as we like at that age.  :smth046 Tee hee!

I'll take you all out partying and pickin' up toy-boys...  :smth023

Well, thank you Scatcat - that's an offer we can't refuse! It's a date in 2054, then!

Re: 'Chilly Mr Dilly' - he's my big Maine Coon boy, and really called Dilly.
He's chilly, as he had to be shaved by the vet recently, and so the caption seemed kinda fitting. 

(Robert sings that line in 'Cut Here':
"But chilly Mr. Dilly - Too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done.")

Sad song, really, (even if that lyric is a bit daft)  :(

ok,'tis time for me to face the facts....I'll be 40 in 6 weeks, and you know what, I'm perfectly ok with that!!  In fact I'm kinda proud of the fact I've made it this far and can still do most of the things I did in my 20s (although it takes a little longer to recover now, and by the end of the day my stiletto heels hurt my feet...)

By my calculations, I've been listening to the Cure for 27 years now and have absolutely no intention of stopping!  I also have no intention of giving up my heels, black clothes, red lipstick, eyeliner or cutting my hair!  So girls, see you at the 2054 Oslo show - I'll be the 86 year old dear tottering about in stilettos, brandishing a cane.... ;)

cox i thought you were 17! or 18.. you mentioned you passed some exams so i assumed lol

lets see.. i was born towards the end of wish tour. in fact, the cure did a show in rome's Palaeur 3 days before i was born with Cranes opening and a show the day after i was born, in Marseille - Palais des Sports, France. sometimes i look at footage from that october-november time of the cure or other bands on youtube. i saw the cure for the first time at download fesitival a few weeks before i turned 15.
you could say im very nostalgic for someone who wants the future, i always look back to the past and wonder what it was like back then. i wonder how a person isnt just bursting with memories, all those years that passed y'know?
