Cure, The - One Hundred Years Lyrics

Couldn’t live without pornography. It reminds me so much of my childhood.

This song reminds me of my life. My brother for one thing died in the back of a balk car. Vietnam ptsd shit. My so called mother and on it goes. Cool song. So true!

Black Pearl 🖤🔥🔥🔥🖤

this song is about dio. listen to the lyrics and think of what happens at the end of battle in egypt, and come on, one hundred years. DIO

Jeg savne Ditte Stangerup "lidt" (Obie)

endnu en dejlig dag under de Evige Stjerner/ Sol født 1989 (Ryesgade 106)

Thanks Robert S.

Ties for 1st with des integration IMO

Pornography est le chef d'oeuvre de la discographie du groupe. Pure coldwave. Francis 93

that beginning really emodrill

Sto 💯 lat sobie życzę.... I wam wszystkim....🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸🎸

Th final part of their trilogy of great albums, truly one of my most moving albums ever along with Psychocandy, The Hurting, Porcupine and Ultra Vivid Scene

Needs to go straight into A Short Term Effect for the full impact...

My gawd,,,maybe suicude is the answer,,after all 100 years is a l o n g time !

Robert Smith was 23 when they released this album

Real doomer hours man

@Read Marx Ok, i will

Stare,dobre czasy:)

A nihilistic scream

without a doubt The Cure's most violent song ever. I love it.

Andrew Humphries I agree with you!!!

Darkest song from them by far!

Dławiące.

People in my midst. In my closest comapanionship can't understand my love for The Cure.
Am I the odd one or are they?
They, of course!

The first sounds of my fiist baptised happiness in death. After two near death experiences on this album -one of the best ones in R'n'Roll History- I'm back to tell ya it lasts.Mr Smith, be sure I'm so thankfull for all these new strange days. And they last.
Bert The Dirt.

Empathy and fear dominate

It doesn't matter if we all die
Ambition in the back of a black car
In a high building there is so much to do
Going home time, a story on the radio

[Verse 2]
Something small falls out of your mouth and we laugh
A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better
Please love me
Meet my mother, but the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow

[Verse 3]
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on television
Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs
Have we got everything?,
She struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling, a little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday, the death of her father pushing her
Pushing her white face into the mirror
Aching inside me and turn me 'round
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days
Just like the old days

[Verse 4]
Caressing an old man and painting a lifeless face
Just a piece of new meat in a clean room
The soldiers close in under a yellow moon
All shadows and deliverance under a black flag
A hundred years of blood, crimson
The ribbon tightens round my throat
I open my mouth and my head bursts open
A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water
Thrashing in the water
Over and over, we die one after the other
Over and over, we die one after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other
One after the other

[Outro]
It feels like a hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years
A hundred years

HORROR MUSIC.

De la trilogía gótica es sin lugar a dudas el más Siniestro, de sonido agudo e hiriente,contiene la esencia final de los dos oscuros álbumes anteriores,pero este es una Obra Maestra absoluta,cada canción representa el mundo de Smith,su infierno personal,espíritus poblan el disco como sacados de una novela de Lovecraft,y así sucesivamente,excesivo y excelso 9/10

Seventeen seconds
Faith
Pornography
Mencion aparte: Disintegration

100 years of solitude is _OVER_ on September 21st, 2020, Gabriel! Michael! Dyad! Demiurge! SATAN!!!!! — God

when i listen to this album my emotions grow high. faded memories lost love and graving for better future.

🤙🏼 Gothic radness 🌹

Lack of high frequencies in this upload...

Nihilistic

Cure!!!!!!

El mejor disco de la banda

Kładę się spać trochę z Iza wypilysmy. On już śpi bo z Krzyśkiem też popili. Kocham Cię mam nadzieję że myślisz o mmie

Ancora oggi sound moderno. Puro punk dark 7.9. 2019

That 5:25 last one hundred years feels so sad.

Amazing songtrack from The Cure with "ONE HUNDRED YEARS",nice guitarsolo too and keyboards ! Greetings from Belgium !

yes, 17 seconds, faith and pornography is a really sound of the cure, boys don't cry album and the top are also great, after others of the cure are not at the same level for me

Please love me
Meet my mother

this song... this album... pure genius

This is the best Cure Album ever🖤💋🖤💋👍

Great song...and album

Amazing! on Vinyl

An eeeevilly twisted dark guitar riff.....the reverbing drum reminds of a panicked heart beat......Robert's straining, almost prelude into scream voice -- makes for a majestic stand out. My favourite bit of "Porn"...

i loved this when i was depressed and had suicidal tendencies… now i am enlighted and consequently sick of the world and still love it... MASTERPIECE

Amazingly resonant in 2019. Robert Smith is pretty much a genius.

Do You Know?

I can't decipher some parts of the lyrics but this might be the most depressing song of the band.... Their transition from songs like boys don't cry to this is kinda scary

A haunting nightmare

devastatingly beautiful album opener <3333

♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

Just when I think I know my absolute favourite Cure songs another one comes along and I have to start ALL over again...

The Cure "one hundred years" Playlist

Топовый трек.The cure the Best

😄😄😄😄😆😆😗😆🤗

Razorblade guitar tones...a relentless muffled drumming...a cold synth background to welcome winter...vocals that pick up each line with a yearning anxiety but depict a harrowing stranding at the last contorted breath. This is the dark night of the soul.

This is real gothic madness.

Second best song with, well, honest? People laughed at Lol, but this band has become boring without him. Bring Lol back!!!!! The best drums in this band's cannon in Lol.

Lol this guy was mad huh

Love this, want to see/hear it live again. Hopefully 2019/2020 Asia😉

They are coming to Romania this months...., Bucharest.

@Mona Simu You're lucky Mona, don't miss them!!

How can someone dislike this????

Butthurt emo-pop fans.

I love this song. I remember the first night I heard it and the version i heard. Still, it is easy to realize that there are people who wouldn't like the song. It's a song, of course there will be people who don't like it. Different tastes, nothing puzzling about that.

@Black Hat lol nah I listen to everything except songs with a country accent😂 this song is just so melodic I don't know why they disliked it

@ClearOutSamskaras if they have different tastes why are they here😭

this is brilliant. they were so far ahead of their times

Spotify has removed the album "Pornography" from its catalogue ("The Hanging Garden" is the only song remaining). Dafuq!

Spotify is for musically retarded people.

We all think this is our unique secret until the stadium gig and the facey group ehhhh

Kin brilliant live, well it was in the 80's and no doubt still bloody hypnotising. Cure Indonesia?

people would say: chino from deftones sounds like robert/the cure... ...never heard/believed it until i heard the vocals in this track!

Constant Stimulation

18 twats here be accident had to thumb down. What cunts probably into boy bands.

This song is just superb.

The proof that goth music isn't always downbeat. It can also be upbeat...in an angry, anxious or despairing way, but upbeat at last (?

Gorgeous track, amazing live. Robert S., look after yourself. We really do need the Cure

Brilliant lyrics. There's so much worth analyzing and thinking about with them. And not to mention the instrumentation, totally fantastic.

I love pornography so much. I go back to it everyday. It's an addiction

uhh...mood?

When you take this out of context it gets kinda strange

@Leandro Amâncio thats the j o k e

VERY Addictive.. The pain is Sooo Addictive

haHa fUnNy jOkE. but pornography is a good album. ;)

wow dafuq happened to goth music later?

@Jean-christophe Le Bachelet thats because genre was named after their albums. its always like that. for example black sabbath is inventor of doom metal but the name comes from 1986 candlemass debut album

@Edi Baramashvili In fact at this time, and specially in France, where this musical genre was very important we called it : Cold wave, the term gothic was just an adjective, the gothic music today is far away, the big differences, is that in late 70/mid80's the bands like the cure, siouxsie and the banshees, joy division, Nick cave and the bad seeds, Dead can dance etc.... they do MUSIC with their heart and soul.... they really don't care about mode, genre.... today the "gothic" music is just a brand with code and metal influence.... boring

This isn't "goth music" (whatever that is). It was never called that by the band or by the fans or anyone else for that matter. That idiotic term is a cheap attempt at reinvention by an ignorant generation who don't know what they're talking about.

Sound cloud rap happened.

This is a great Dark Wave song.

Im 19 and can say The Cure and other Bands like Nirvana are legends and they will never die for me!
So sad that no one can make such good music today
But I will try

IMO Nirvana is nothing more than average.
Good average but still average.

I hold the Cure high on a pedestal. Nirvana is nowhere near the pedestal. Never understood the attraction to Kurt. In my mind, they had one good hit back in 1991.

@N.M Nirvana changed the whole game tore up the script Cure just made teenagers mope around

@MrProzacmilkshake it's exactly reversed

@MrProzacmilkshake
it's so obvious you don't know who is who.

5 February 2019. Always and forever, thank you to Great Britain and the British people whose creativity, since the 1960s, has given the rest of the World hundreds of unique bands such the Cure and music of unparalleled beauty, quirkiness and atmosphere. What would our lives have been without British bands? Thank you from Sicily. And love, admiration and adoration.
Right now I wish I was 30 years younger, in my twenties, dancing "One Hundred Years " in some goth night club.

Benedetto Bruno you can dance cmon !

It is never too late, indeed, do it before it's too late

I completely agree with you!

You're welcome...

Grandissimo commento! Condivido tutte le parole dette, sono anch’io siciliano!

fuck fuck fuck soooo good

Pornography is easily the Cure's best album. Definitely the band at their most best and most finest.

Pornography was released in the US in 1982, I was a 15 year old sophomore in high school and it changed my life forever. I still love it

No more angst in the bank.....dude

Microsoft microtel Colima has no Atlantic Cold Filtered like this 2nd fl

Из далекой России и тем боле далекой сибири. Круто еще аж с 1992 года слушали и восхищались!

Сергей Южаков gde vi naxodili Ix zapisi s 92 goda..!? 😲 Respect

Dam Id forgotten, I swore I'd never forget just how magnificent and dark and strange it all is.

The unholy grail of true depressive music.

Voodoo Dolly by Siouxsie and the Banshees has this beat

try nick drake and elliot smith

Try arcade fire

@Sarir Kamalabadi Lol

No thats called DSBM

The best song of the cure.

One of the best

Arthur Jorge Bushcraft
The álbum is not so good as "Faith" , but just this song......
The guy seems singing and crying... The guitar cutting ice
Awesome song

Yes, this is masterpiece. That album.

[Verse 1]

A prayer for something better
A prayer for something better, please love me
Meet my mother, but the fear takes hold
Creeping up the stairs in the dark
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow
Waiting for the death blow

[Verse 3]
Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot
Fighting for freedom on television

Have we got everything?, she struggles to get away
The pain and the creeping feeling, a little black haired girl
Waiting for Saturday, the death of her father pushing her

Hey, I love your Daria-themed avatar!

Vania Daniela
Thanks a lot for the lyrics.

Pretty Cure <3

Awesome masterpiece...
Simply outstanding from anything else

Waiting for the death blow

YES. I was 15 when I got this record. It may have kept me alive.

@Laura Velousis it kept you alive I know what you mean

Incredibly haunting song. The key change at 5:42 blows my mind.

Right?! That's my favorite point in the song.

Yea really haunting. However I don't think they change key, it is just an octave up.

@Cheetah I think you're right. It gives it a chillingly intense vibe they way they go about it.

The big payoff!

Essa música capta bem de forma dançante a agonia e a angústia.

Un album capolavoro

Vero gothic rock.

@Black Hat Darkwave/post-punk, semmai. I Cure non c'entrano nulla con il goth-rock, e lo stesso discorso si può fare per i Joy Division.

@Black Hat gotic rock....I the Cure? Ma quando mai...

This is just amazing. My teenage years return

This one is powerful in my opinion. Underrated!

Isso no madame pqp

Onde fica?

@Mateus Soares Neto Rua Conselheiro Ramalho, 873 - Bela Vista - São Paulo/SP

Pra mim o melhor álbum do CURE sem dúvida nenhuma

E pra mim tbm. Pq as musicas deles sao todas boas.

Amazing!
