The Cure - This is a lie (LIVE!)

[JaveDMode]

Damn, I wish we had this in HD, 5D, 100.1 surround sound, scratch 'n sniff, chip in the brain, holodeck vision! What a song! What words! Robert you genius! What inspired a man who has been with the same woman forever to write a song like this? Has he been longing to be naughty all this time? Guess I should never get married! Thanks for the advice Robert.

[polaroidfiend]

However unsure, however unwise...... 

[preciousfetus]

2 people couldn't be cured.

[LordBones138]

One of the only rad songs to come from Cure post 94.. Wild Mood Swings does have some suprise hits!

[AnutaFan]

Я поверить не могу, что этой песне уже более 15 лет..

Божественно..

[Mstar82]

Is this really Mr. Gallup on guitar, unbelievable :)

he's like my idol, my favourite bass player

[kaylerpp]

I fell in love with this song the first time I heard it...AMAZING.

[SleepWhenIamDead]

...Perry wrote this....

[francoislucas2]

merci pour cette vidéo

[OUHproduction]

This is from a french tv show called Nulle Part Ailleurs. I watched it live and it was great !

[PPdirector]

...great song for a great band!

Love 80's!

;O)

chiss

PP

[basman2006]

many people call Wild Mood Swings there worst album so when i bougt this album, i didn't expect much, so i was shocked when i heard this song, Treasure, Bare and Numb.

I was even more shocked when i bought join the dots and discovered that the B-sides where also really good.

[TORXM]

Wow, Simon plays guitar?

[Laurellin2154]

So amazing song,never geto tired of it♥♥♥love cure

[kookiemunstah666]

This fucking blows my mind

This is why they are my favorite band man

[SSkuud]

The cake is a lie

[pipperoooo]

This is fantastic! Thanks!

[beforethree]

gorgeous Jools Holland no?

[graydays79]

AMAZING LYRICS makes you think of why we are the way we are . , And not understading why we do certain things

[eszterista]

kicsit sok a csörgődob,de amúgy fasza.

[marcofilatori]

So sad but so wonderfull song...

[LadyCureNob89]

one of my fav songs of the cure, top of the top FROM THE EDGE OF THE DEEP GREEN SEA

[amigajenni]

This song deserved a better drummer!

Jason is nothing compared to Boris or Andy!

Why Robert keeps him in the band is a total mistery!!!!

[beforethree]

@amigajenni because he s good,; listen to live songs, or The cure album, Lost is so strong! or anniversary, before three, labyrinth for example :o)

[amigajenni]

@beforethree he is just a 'random drummer' a guy who has no order or distinctive pattern when composing a drum part. He has never created any drum intro (Boris has IBD, WCIBY, Torture, etc. Andy has Shake Dog Shake, Birdmad, etc). Jason has never been interviewed by any drummer magazine like Boris was. Those and some other facts just show us that he is irrelevant.

[SawneyBeane123]

What year is this?

[molochai]

i have no idea :(

but obviously after 1996 lol

[JulianPuyo]

1996 Jools Holland show.

[itans39]

@SawneyBeane123

september 1996, wms it's a good album, not the best but it contains songs written from another point of view than the previous,I disagree with some fans who hate wms.

love...

[SusieKatz1]

quite dark but brilliant! Robert is genius

[sadlyim]

The Cure plus an orchestra is amazing

[flachevath33]

[RammsteinGirl1991]

The bassist would be Simon Gallup. Perry isn't bad! I love him. I love all the Cure! <333

[Macayerland]

Perry Bamonte wrote this song! No, he isnt bad at all.

[ajittffcure]

Very good song. Nice to see Simon playing the 12-string guitar.

[lauce3]

Nunca he entendido de verdad como alguien puede creer en un Dios nunca visto,eso es una mentira,nunca he entendido de verdad en...
