The Cure - Lovecats

The Cure. They were the first emos as the story goes, but every once and a while a poppy happy-go-lucky pops out of Robert Smith's mind and finds its way through the explosion of hair atop his cranium.

Exhibit A: "Lovecats"
"Lovecats" is a fun song about love....cats. The catchy piano riff and quick-fire lyrics are very different for the Cure, but it totally works for them. I listened to this song all the time in high school and for whatever reason forgot about it until a friend reminded me of it. Sorry about the video, it was really the best one i could find.
Check out the acoustic version too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wl19YbSyc5U&feature=related
We move like cagey tigers 
We couldn't get closer than this 
The way we walk 
The way we talk 
The way we stalk 
The way we kiss 

We slip through the streets 
While everyone sleeps 
Getting bigger and sleeker 
And wider and brighter 
We bite and scratch and scream all night 
Let's go and 
Throw all the songs we know 

Into the sea 
You and me 
All these years and no one heard 
I'll show you in spring 
It's a treacherous thing 
We missed you hissed the lovecats 

(Ba ba-da...da da da da da...) 

We're so wonderfully wonderfully wonderfully 
Wonderfully pretty 
Oh you know that I'd do anything for you 
We should have each other to tea huh? 
We should have each other with cream 
Then curl up by the fire 
And sleep for awhile 
It's the grooviest thing 
It's the perfect dream 

Hand in hand 
Is the only way to land 
And always the right way round 
Not broken in pieces 
Like hated little meeces 
How could we miss 
Someone as dumb as this 

I love you ... let's go 
Oh ... solid gone ... 
How could we miss someone as dumb 
As this?
