This song could only have been created by geniuses. In 1987, as a teenager, I bought this album and when I heard "Like Cockatoos" for the first time I was enchanted, I couldn't believe that something so fantastic was created by human hands. The song is so incredibly brutally well composed, it's simply unimaginable! And the magic continues to this day. I'm so glad The Cure exists!
I agree so much. I'm only 21 years old but I'm basically going through what you went through when you were younger right now. I've loved The Cure for a good ten years, but I'm only just discovering the deeper, rawer songs recently. Powerful stuff!
Lyrics She walked out of her house And looked around At all the gardens that looked Back at her house (Like all the faces That quiz when you smile) And he was standing At the corner Where the road turned dark A part of shiny wet Like blood the rain fell Black down on the street And kissed his feet she fell Her head an inch away from heaven And her face pressed tight And all around the night sang out Like cockatoos "There are a thousand things" he said "I'll never say those things to you again" And turning on his heel He left a trace of bubbles Bleeding in his stead And in her head A picture of a boy who left her Lonely in the rain (And all around the night sang out like cockatoos) Songwriters: Boris Williams / Laurence Andrew Tolhurst / Porl Thompson / Robert James Smith / Simon Gallup
Extraordinary video! Goes well with another of my favorites. "Bring on the dancing horses." Echo and the bunnymen. Not many people who can stand the truth of things like this. The truth of what things add up to at times. I had a dream the other night. It was lovely. She was affectionate, a simple gothic, crow haired beauty. Wish I could have dreamt forever. Nothing overtly racey. No shock or degradation. Kissing and embracing. The feeling of true love, passing between our hearts and souls. I cry
Thanks for this Clan of Paranor. A much missed song I used to remember playing over and over again. You can't kill the Goth in someone, however long ago it was ;) Great video and excellent sound quality.
yeah the fact that this vid fits the song so well with imagery much newer than the music shows how influential the band was and how well the music ages--and the good job whoever put the video together did
T es Vraiment un malade Robert Smith.J adorais cette chanson qd j'étais Ado. Je viens de découvrir le clip.... C'est vraiment n appel au suicide....apprends à cadrer!!!! Et baisse la saturation de tes violons synthé. Pour les fans ... J'ai vu ce morceau en live a Bercy. C'était vraiment mortel!!!! Mais j'ai fais une crise d'épilepsie pour la première fois de ma vie ...alors que je n'étais même pas dans la Fosse. C'était assez flippant. Bisous à tous et portez vous bien malgré ce Covid de Merde.
this was the first, very first cd I bought, I still remember the color and graphics of the cardboard sleeve and inner plastic sleeve. sssoooooo good! late 80's FTW!
Blimey its been 3 years since I noticed your heart stamp on my last post Clan of Paranor. Upgraded my Harley Davidson since then. The video and song still hits the spot. Classic. Prends soin x☺
this song always had a vibe of a a procession of sorcerers ,belly dancers, jugglers at a dark festival processing down boubon street at midnight. not trolling just personal imagery that the song giveth.
I can not upload this song to my page and post it as a response. I feel I must reach out to the creator of this video. To The Cure, and to everyone who comes here. Pink Floyd - Chapter 24 Love and good fortune to all!
She walked out of her house And looked around At all the gardens that looked Back at her house (Like all the faces That quiz when you smile) And he was standing At the corner Where the road turned dark A part of shiny wet Like blood the rain fell Black down on the street And kissed his feet she fell Her head an inch away from heaven And her face pressed tight And all around the night sang out Like cockatoos "There are a thousand things" he said "I'll never say those things to you again" And turning on his heel He left a trace of bubbles Bleeding in his stead And in her head A picture of a boy who left her Lonely in the rain (And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)
Shame that Robert smith has declared several times that he and the cure were everything but goths... He actually said most of my songs are pop.. And he mentioned another artist I think was(patty smiths) close to that kind of music for people who sleep in coffins.....
i will love Robert Smith forever ... the kiss me kiss me kiss me album has to be the most bi polar of all of them - from happy catchy 'hot hot hot' and 'catch' to the darkest rage of 'shiver and shake' ... and then of course - The Kiss. If you've never been raped, listening to that song leaves you feeling like you have. very powerful
May someone help me to understand what irt says...? I mean, does it talk about a guy that commited suicide...? Is that why it says And in her head a picture of a boy who left her lonely in the rain

My all time Favorite "CURE" song... love love it...
you must love Bird Mad Girl too! so many great songs
Lyrics
She walked out of her house
And looked around
At all the gardens that looked
Back at her house
(Like all the faces
That quiz when you smile)
And he was standing
At the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell
Black down on the street
And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out
Like cockatoos
"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles
Bleeding in his stead
And in her head
A picture of a boy who left her
Lonely in the rain
(And all around the night sang out like cockatoos)
Songwriters: Boris Williams / Laurence Andrew Tolhurst / Porl Thompson / Robert James Smith / Simon Gallup
Fking excellent! Thank you for the lyrics! A thumbs up doesn’t do justice
This song and the lyrics give me positive, delicious feels….
Cristalina info a tus pies si señorrrrrr
Best formationnnnnnn by farrrrrrrrrrrr
the cure is my altime fav group. i go around the world lookin for new groups an sounds on utube but i always come back to the cure. best group ever.
But Robert stated that he would have liked "to be Cocteau Twins"...😁
favourite song of all time. just beautiful.
I love the atmosphere of this video ... so hypnotic and dark. I have to watch it again ... and again ... amazing!
My favorite Cure song ever! Thank you!
Every couple years I wake up humming this song(it started 5 days ago). Nothing can displace it - it just has to run its course.
a masterpiece
I think this is the most underrated Cure album
Ou comment sublimer le plaisir d'écouter de la bonne musique. génial simplement

You can't kill the Goth in someone, however long ago it was ;)
Great video and excellent sound quality.
Indeed you cant... indeed.
Never get tired of these gents !
Suite pour les fans. The Cure Live in Bercy. Octobre 1996.
yeah the fact that this vid fits the song so well with imagery much newer than the music shows how influential the band was and how well the music ages--and the good job whoever put the video together did
Such a haunting song! And your video goes excellent with it! Great Job!

Stellar song.
Whomever made this video deserves much praise.
One of the best Cure songs of all time, from their best album. -- and it was written by Simon, not Robert!
CW Laugesen where did you read it was written by Simon ? Because I haven’t see any credits on the album nor elsewhere
I didn't know that. Are you sure?
Brilliant video for a brilliant song!!! :) :) :)
Always has a sound that harks back to the Pornography era, just without the distinctive distortion. Bloody shame this never gets a wider audience
love your videos Belorix my dear friend.... xo
Ennesimo capolavorooooo❤❤❤
I really like this track with this video, so strange and mysterious!
Me encanta ❤
great video
Fave Cure song
KISS ME KISS ME KISS ME WHICH GOT ME THOUGH THE LAST YEAR IN THE ARMY FEATURED THIS GEM ...ONE OF THEIR BEST ALBUMS TO DATE!
I love it!

Not a big goth fan, but I love and respect the cure.
I subscribed because you were on 6,999 and because this is my favorite album and you created an insanely great video for this song.

this is a good vid, one of my fave cure songs. But nothing beats 'plainsong' for me.
@darkblue5 dearset Nuno Nice to see you again
GOOD VIDEO!
You always have such nice videos...fills me with jealousy but I enjoy nonetheless.
Nice one from the Cure.
Suuuuuper
this song always had a vibe of a a procession of sorcerers ,belly dancers, jugglers at a dark festival processing down boubon street at midnight. not trolling just personal imagery that the song giveth.
+jedimagejoe Belly dancer on a beach in the pacific ocean at night
i can that tooo , since im into the magic i thought the above first
Awesome visual, the song has a jangly, processive feel to it.
You are me cure :)
id like to actually see a retro 80s goth scene revival..
@maxaxia Esatto Max stesso album
I can not upload this song to my page and post it as a response. I feel I must reach out to the creator of this video. To The Cure, and to everyone who comes here. Pink Floyd - Chapter 24
Love and good fortune to all!
And the 7th brings return.
♥️❤️💜
Love this video, but every time I watch it I'm convinced I'm going to die in seven days.

Hi 2all u US Goths listening 2 UK music !!
Shame that Robert smith has declared several times that he and the cure were everything but goths... He actually said most of my songs are pop.. And he mentioned another artist I think was(patty smiths) close to that kind of music for people who sleep in coffins.....
Are there any accordions in this?
how can music make you want to die and be glad to be alive? like this....
I think this song was composed by Porl Thompson, but i'm not sure
damiano fonti think Siouxie & the Banshees helped w this album ... probably the best from the Cure -the tour concert was !ucking awesome
i will love
Robert Smith forever ...
the kiss me kiss me kiss me album has to be the most bi polar of all of them - from happy catchy 'hot hot hot' and 'catch' to the darkest rage of 'shiver and shake' ... and then of course - The Kiss. If you've never been raped, listening to that song leaves you feeling like you have. very powerful
?
May someone help me to understand what irt says...? I mean, does it talk about a guy that commited suicide...?
Is that why it says And in her head a picture of a boy who left her lonely in the rain
Stupenda (anche se preferisco Disintegration a Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me) :D
scaress a lot
I like it coz it's so weird
Guess nobody got it
no me transmite la casnción en absoluto. linda fotografia
