Sunday Song Lyric:
http://volokh.com/archives/archive_2008_11_09-2008_11_15.shtml#1226200108
I first heard a song by [1]The Cure some twenty-five years ago -- and
apparently they're still going. Robert Smith & Co. have just released
their 13th studio album, [2]4:13 Dream, and it appears to be getting
[3]good reviews.
I haven't heard The Cure's new stuff, but I'm still a fan of the old.
"Boys Don't Cry" was released almost thirty years ago. It was their
second single, and still one of their best. The [4]lyrics begin:
I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much
Been too unkind
I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
Because boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Here are the [5]original video and live clips from [6]1984 and
[7]2008.
