"Scared as You" by The Cure - Unofficial Lyrics by Andrew Barger

 

"Scared as You" is an instrumental by The Cure they placed on the band's Wish 30 Year Deluxe Anniversary Album. It brings to mind "Fear of Ghosts" that the band curiously scratched from Disintegration. Yet songs by the band have a way of coming back around later, as both of these have done.

Like I am doing for all the instrumentals on Wish 30 Year Deluxe Anniversary Album, here are the unofficial lyrics I penned for "Scared as You."

Scared as You

I wonder

where the sea goes in December,

when the sky turns burnt umber,

before darkness settles in,

and I am feeling those pangs

of being alone again.

I wonder

where the ghost of my ghost lives

in mansions unholy.

Knowing he still is, 

and I am fading away;

I am fading away.

Fading away.

Fading away.

Fading away.

Scary Ghost References in Lyrics by The Cure

The Cure is the most successful Goth band in history. In prior posts I've let everyone know about my Cure blog that I've started and about the publication of The Best Ghost Stories book. This post is about a marriage of the two. What I mean by that is I did a little research into scary ghost reference by The Cure in their lyrics. I found 5 songs that contain them. I dare you to listen to these songs while reading The Best Ghost Stories 1800:1849: A Classic Ghost Anthology.

The Hungry Ghost - 4:13 Dream

Siren Song - 4:13 Dream

The Upstairs Room - B Side to "The Walk" and Join the Dots

Fear of Ghosts - "Lovesong" EP
