The Cure
The Cure are an English rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre. more »

You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me So dull it kills You stifle me Infectious sense of Hopelessness and prayers for rain I suffocate I breathe in dirt And nowhere shines but desolate And drab the hours all spent on killing time Again all waiting for the rain You fracture me your hands on me a touch So plain so stale it kills You strangle me entangle me In hopelessness and prayers for rain I deteriorate, I live in dirt and nowhere glows but Drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing Time again all waiting for the rain You fracture me, your hands on me, a touch So plain so stale it kills You strangle me, entangle me In hopelessness and prayers for rain Prayers for rain Prayers for rain Prayers for rainThe easy, fast & fun way to learn how to sing: 30DaySinger.com

The Cure Lyrics
"Prayers For Rain"
You shatter me your grip on me a hold on me so dull it kills
You stifle me infectious sense of hopelessness and prayers for rain
I suffocate, I breathe in dirt and nowhere shines but desolate
And drab the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain
You fracture me your hands on me a touch so plain so
stale it kills
You strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain
I deteriorate I live in dirt and nowhere glows but drearily and tired
And tired the hours all spent on killing time again all waiting for the rain
You fracture me your hands on me a touch so plain so stale it kills
You strangle me entangle me in hopelessness and prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain

album: "Disintegration" (1989)
You shatter me, your grip on me
A hold on me so dull it kills
You stifle me
Infectious sense of Hopelessness and prayers for rain
I suffocate, I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines but desolate
And drab the hours all spent on killing time
Again all waiting for the rain
You fracture me, your hands on me
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
You strangle me, entangle me
In hopelessness and prayers for rain
I deteriorate, I live in dirt, and nowhere glows but
Drearily and tired the hours all spent on killing
Time again all waiting for the rain
You fracture me, your hands on me
A touch so plain, so stale it kills
You strangle me, entangle me
In hopelessness and prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain
Prayers for rain

Words by Robert Smith
You shatter me
Your grip on me
A hold on me
So dull it kills
You stifle me
Infectious sense
Of hopelessness and
Prayers for rain
I suffocate
I breathe in dirt
And nowhere shines
But desolate
And drab the hours all spent
On killing time again
All waiting for
The rain
You fracture me
Your hands on me
A touch so plain
So stale it kills
You strangle
me
Entangle me
In hopelessness and
Prayers for rain
I deteriorate
I live in dirt
And nowhere glows
But drearily and tired
The hours all spent
On killing time again
All waiting for
The rain
