THE CURE - Love Cats

In the early seventies I once shared a house with some Stewards and Stewardesses. One time they were all away flying or staying with boyfriends or girlfriends. I was left all on my lonesome.

I went to bed and was in that place where your are about to fall asleep but are still aware of what is going on. It was then that  I heard what I can only describe as a wailing sound. I immediately thought it probably was a couple of cats in heat. It was very annoying. It went on for sometime when it occurred to me that the sound appeared to be coming from the room next to mine.

Now nobody was at home except me so I assumed that cats had managed to get in a open window or something so I decided to investigate.

I crept to the next door bedroom and and opened the door as quietly as I could and what I saw, well, I don't know who was more shocked?  me!, or Richard and his new boyfriend.

The next morning at breakfast I apologised for my interruption and introduced myself,

'Hi! I am Old Pa, you must be Kitty!'

I don't particularly like Love Cats but it was most appropriate. So here is Close to You a much better choice.

The Cure - 'Boys Don't Cry'

Musical Medicine....a track that's like sitting in a bath of houmous and pitta for the soul!

Lock up your combs, The Cure are about!

The Cure - 'Boys Don't Cry' live on Jools Holland (2004)

It's a big deal being 4 3/4. You are almost 5 and that's when you become a big boy with all the perks that come with it, jumping higher, running faster and finally watching Star Wars. Sounds like a mini Bionic Man but all this is according to my son who I've just spent a week with for half term.

So one day, we're pottering around the house when The Cure classic comes on, 'Boys Don't Cry' and he asks me who it is. I show him a picture of Robert Smith and he's not impressed with his hair but loves the track as he's a big boy and that means big boys don't cry. True to his word, during the course of the week, he has been smacked in the face with a rugby ball, had his fingers jarred by a basketball, hurt is elbow when I 'accidentally' tripped him up and went to bed 'no messing' despite the possibility of Robert Smith's barnet hiding under his bed. But despite a couple of lip wobbles, he tells me it's OK because big boys don't cry just like the song.

'Boys Don't Cry' was The Cure's 2nd single which became their first hit and was taken from their 1980 compilation album, Boys Don't Cry.
