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 vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970's with their debut album Three Imaginary Boys; 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 1980's, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music was a staple of the emerging gothic rock genre.

After the release of 1982's Pornography, the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the single "Let's Go to Bed" released the same year, Smith began to place a pop sensibility into the band's music and their popularity increased as the decade wore on, with songs like "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love". The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004 and have released thirteen studio albums, ten EPs and over thirty singles during their career.

The Cure (1995 film)

The Cure is a 1995 drama film starring Brad Renfro and Joseph Mazzello about two boys searching for the cure of AIDS, from which one of them is suffering. It was produced by Eric Eisner and Mark Burg.

Plot

Set in a small town of Stillwater, Minnesota, Erik (Brad Renfro) is an adolescent loner with an emotionally abusive and neglectful and selfish workaholic mother, Gail (Diana Scarwid) who hardly spends time with him. His father, who treated Erik considerably better than his mother, lives in New Orleans. Dexter (Joseph Mazzello), who contracted AIDS through a blood transfusion, is Erik's neighbor. Initially, Erik is put off by Dexter, but the two soon become good friends despite their differences. Erik seeks a family in Dexter and his congenial mother, Linda (Annabella Sciorra), due to his strained relationship with Gail, but keeps the friendship a secret from her, knowing that she won't approve.

Gail discovers the friendship one night after Linda comes over to ask Erik about something Dexter ate in the boys' quest to find a natural cure for his disease. She is furious and warns Linda to keep Dexter away, but Linda, who resents her, refuses to listen and encourages the friendship. When the boys read an article in a tabloid about a doctor in distant New Orleans who claims to have found a cure for AIDS, they set out on their own down the Mississippi River in the hope of finding a means of saving Dexter's life.

    Let's Go To Bed

    by: The Cure

    Let me take your hand
    I'm shaking like milk
    Turning
    Turning blue
    All over the windows and the floors
    Fires outside in the sky
    Look as perfect as cats
    The two of us together again
    But it's just the same
    A stupid game
    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't say it
    If you don't say it first
    You think you're tired now
    But wait until three...
    Laughing at the Christmas lights
    You remember
    From December
    All of this then back again
    Another girl
    Another name
    Stay alive but stay the same
    It's just the same
    A stupid game
    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't play it
    If you don't play it first
    You can't even see now
    So you ask me the way
    You wonder if it's real
    Because it couldn't be rain...
    Through the right doorway
    And into the white room
    It used to be the dust that would lay here
    When I came here alone
    But I don't care if you don't
    And I don't feel if you don't
    And I don't want it if you don't
    And I won't say it
    If you don't say it first
    Doo doo doo doo
    Let's go to bed!
    Doo doo doo doo
    Let's go to bed!
