The lovecats, The Cure, 1983. |
We move like cagey tigers
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we lovecats
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...
We couldn't get closer than this
The way we lovecats
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...
The Love cats, The Cure

Robert Smit i mače na snimanju spota |
Izvori bliski bendu u to
vreme navode da je pesma prvobitno napisana kao parodija, a sam autor je
izjavio za časopis “Rock and Folk” šta misli
o ovom singlu: “Ova pesma je daleko od moje omiljene. Komponovao sam je pijan,
spot za pesmu sam snimao pijan, promovisao sam je pijan. To je bila šala u početku.”
Spot za pesmu “The love
cats” sniman je u iznajmljenoj vili. Ključevi su pozajmljeni od agenta nekretnina, koji se ponadao
da će neko od članova benda kupiti kuću. Jutro posle snimanja, vratili su mu ključeve.
Pesmu “The love cats”
obradili su Tricky, 2003. za album “Vulnerable”, Paul Anka 2005, i mnogi drugi…
