Sunday Song Lyric:

[1]Boys Don't Cry was always my favorite album by [2]The Cure. The
American version of [3]Three Imaginary Boys, it has some of the bands
best songs, including the title track, "10:15 Saturday Night,"
"Plastic Passion," the Camus-inspired "[4]Killing an Arab." This song
was assailed in the 1980s as an anti-Arab song, and is rarely played
by the band in concert without revisions (such as changing the chorus
to "Kissing an Arab" or "Killing Another").
One of my favorite tracks from the album is "Jumping Someone Else's
Train." The [5]video isn't much, but it's a fun song that I listened
to this morning. The opening lyrics are below.
Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You'll have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train
