Hello peeps. I've been working on ScrapFest! print materials, being Dizzy Miss Busy, but I thought I'd share a little gem I found tonight. If you've been reading for long y'all know I reference my boys The Cure from time to time and wrote about them on a Tunes You Need Tuesday, but I came across this acoustic version of "Cut Here," which I've never heard before. After searching Google and a few other sites, I can't find it available anywhere but Ebay. It's from the Greatest Hits album from 2001, whichI have, but the import has a bonus cd of 18 acoustic versions of the same 18 original songs from the first cd. Man, how cool is that? I love a good import. So, I just ordered it from Australia. Yippee, happy me. I just adore this song. "Cut Here" is an anagram of the band's name, by the way. I wondered what the title was about for years before I figured it out one day driving somewhere, then confirmed it not too long ago while reading something about the song. Anyway, here it is in the acoustic version, with the lyrics. I just love "until later…doesn't always come." How true.

"So we meet again!" and I offer my hand
All dry and English slow
And you look at me and I understand
Yeah it's a look I used to know
"Three long years… And your favourite man…
Is that any way to say hello?"
And you hold me…
Like you'll never let me go
Like you'll never let me go
"Oh c'mon and have a drink with me
Sit down and talk awhile… "
"Oh I wish I could… And I will!
But now I just don't have the time… "
And over my shoulder as I walk away
I see you give that look goodbye…
I still see that look in your eye…
So dizzy Mr Busy – too much rush to talk to Billy
All the silly frilly things have to first get done
In a minute – sometime soon – maybe next time – make it June
Until later… Doesn't always come
Until later… Doesn't always come
It's so hard to think
"It ends sometime
And this could be the last
I should really hear you sing again
And I should really watch you dance"
Because it's hard to think
"I'll never get another chance to hold you…
To hold you… "
But chilly Mr Dilly – too much rush to talk to Billy
All the tizzy fizzy idiot things must get done
In a second – just hang on – all in good time – won't be long
Until later…
I should've stopped to think – I should've made the time
I could've had that drink – I could've talked awhile
I would've done it right – I would've moved us on
But I didn't – now its all too late it's over
And you're gone
I miss you I miss you I miss you I miss you
I miss you I miss you so much
But how many times can I walk away
And wish "if only… "
How many times can I talk this way
And wish "if only… "
Keep on making the same mistake
Keep on aching the same heartbreak
I wish "if only… "
But "if only… "
Is a wish too late…
Okay. Love that. Here's an extra little happy for you. I found the acoustic "Just Like Heaven." Shut up. How great is that? The guitar on it is lovely, isn't it? Little things make me happy.
Happy Saturday with a little Cure.
