The Big Hand (1990 Demo) - The Cure

I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die (Willie Nelson) I met her accidentally in St. Paul Minnesota, And it tore me up every time I heard her drawl, southern drawl Then I heard my dream went back downstream cavortin' in Davenport, And I followed you, big river, when she called. (Kris Kristofferson) Oh she took me to St. Louis later on, down the river A freighter said, "She's been here, but she's gone, boy, she's gone" And I found her trail in Memphis, but she just walked up the block. Raised a few eyebrows and went on down alone. (Waylon Jennings) Well, I pulled into Natchez, next day down the river But there wasn't much there to make the rounders stay very long. When I left it was rainin' so nobody saw me cry. Big river, why she doin' me this way? (Johnny Cash, lead and all the others, harmony) Now won't you batter down by Baton Rouge, River Queen, roll it on Take that woman on down to New Orleans, New Orleans Go on, I've had enough; dump my blues down in the gulf She loves you, big river, more than me (Nelson, 1st line; Kristofferson, 2nd line; Jennings, 3rd line; Cash 4th line) I taught the weepin' willow how to cry, cry, cry And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky And the tears I cried for that woman, are gonna flood you, big river And I'm gonna sit right here until I die

Cherish the moment Feel inside We sit in the same room Side by side I give you the wrong lines Feed you Accuracy, accuracy Look into my eyes We both smile I could kill you Without trying That's accuracy Accuracy Accuracy An observant prefers accuracy, accuracy Practice all day for accuracy Mirror mirror on the wall...

You know you turn me on Eyes so wide and legs so long But don't try to talk to me I won't listen to your lies You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes Sophisticated smile You seduce in such fine style But don't try to fool me Because I can see through your disguise You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes But I don't mind Just don't care I've got no objection To you touching me Object, object Object, object Object, object Object, object You know just what to do Lick your lips and I want you But don't try to hold me Because I don't want any ties You're just an object in my eyes You're just an object in my eyes But I don't mind Now, I just don't care I've got no objections To you touching me You're just an object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object, object Object, object Object, object You're just an object, object You're just an object

I never felt like this with anyone before You only have to smile and I'm dizzy You make the world go round A thousand times an hour Just touch my head And send me spinning I never felt like this with anyone before You show me colours and I'm crying You hold my eyes in yours And open up the world I can't believe all of this Can't believe all this I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything I never felt like this with anyone before You fill my head full of rainbows And all the rainbows end Is every step you take Just to be with you forever I want to keep this feeling Deep inside of me I want you always in my heart You are everything You are everything (You are everything)

(One, two) Yeah I know who you remind me of A girl I think I used to know Yeah I'd see her when the day got colder On those days when it felt quite low You know I even think that she stared like you She used to just stand there and stare And roll her eyes right up to heaven And make like I just wasn't there And she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name And sometimes we would spend the night Just rolling about on the floor And I remember Even though it felt soft at the time I always used to wake up sore You know I even think that she smiled like you She used to just stand there and smile And her eyes would go all sort of far away And stay like that for quite a while And I remember she used to fall down a lot That girl was always falling Again and again And I used to sometimes try to catch her But I never even caught her name Yes I sometimes even tried to catch her But I never even caught her name
