I called you after midnight
Then ran until I burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door

We walked around a lake
And woke up in the rain
And everyone turned over
Troubled in their dreams again

Visiting time is over
And so we walk away
We both play dead, then cry out loud
Why we always cry this way?

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything

Everything
Everything
Everything

I called you after midnight
Then ran until my heart burst
I passed the howling woman
And stood outside your door

I kissed you in the water
And made your dry lips sing
I saw you look like a Japanese baby
In an instant I remembered everything

Everything
Everything
Everything

My first Cure concert was in 2005 in Hungary at Szegedi Ifjusagi Napok. I remember that it was a small festival and they did the soundcheck during the day. It was amazing, maybe even better than the concert itself. They played for about 2 hours just casually jamming + some songs. Also they came to us, and there was only about 100 people.  Simon signed my 200 forint note.

Remixes are great if you're in a club dancing I reckon.  Would much rather hear the original personally, but I suppose there are those out there that really enjoy this.

Did you mean Axel Foley, as in Beverly Hills Cop?

Yeah, the latter half of this sounds like it could have easily been on that soundtrack.

Rhythm section although digital for both drums, bass and hand claps is well produced, mixed and recorded.  Booty shake worthy for all y'all party people.

I'm 52 years old now and a lifelong fan of  The Cure. I despise every single remix that was made on this LP. But then that's just my opinion :-)

I always liked this track off of MIXED UP, since it was one of two ("A Forest" being the other) that had to be re-recorded since the master tapes weren't available. It's got a great groove while staying faithful to the original. If you like this stuff, check out TORN DOWN: MIXED UP EXTRAS which they released in 2018.

I was never into the Cure as a schoolkid but was utterly obsessed with Talking Heads.  I've eased off a bit on the latter but learning to appreciate Smith et al. a bit more as I age.

I saw Cure 2 times in 86 Fréjus Antic Roman Arena ( dusty ground makes big fog and 87 in Marseille-France (indoor, weedy fog )          they were absolutly phenomenal,  still now I play cure very loud and we pogo all over the house!

Would have been 10 but for some reason the Mixed Up album which dragged so many songs from brilliance back to ordinary or even poor seems to be far more popular than proper cure...well at least the last 3 tracks i've heard here by them have come from it.

I agree but ONLY about this All Mixed Up release.  This had to be from the mid-to-late '80s, right? Otherwise, The Cure are a solid (talented) act.  I saw their show in Tampa in the summer of 2008 and was very positively impressed by their 3-hour show.  {#Umbrella}

Dang, what does that guitar riff come from? Something recent, I think. Something we've heard on RP. How old is this remix? ETA: It looks like this has been out since 1990, so the riff must have been appropriated by the new song, rather than the other way around...

I recall hurling myself around the union to Cure songs, and can imagine meself doing so to this...although after 16 years....no, I'd still fancy a good hurl). n.b. "union" refers,in the UK, to premises in a college or university run by the Student Union, or the democratically organised entertainment, sporting, leisure and drinking services provided by students for students in a surprisingly well organised fashion.
