Pornography +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ “100 YEARS” Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982 Tabbed by: Winston Campbell Main Riff: Cm, B It doesn't matter if we all die Ambition in the back of a black car In a high building there is so much to do Going home time A story on the radio Something small falls out of your mouth And we laugh A prayer for something better A prayer for something better Please love me Meet my mother But the fear takes hold Creeping up the stairs in the dark Waiting for the death blow Bridge: Bb Waiting for the death blow Waiting for the death blow Repeat Main Riff: Cm, B Stroking your hair as the patriots are shot Fighting for freedom on the television Sharing the world with slaughtered pigs Have we got everything? She struggles to get away The pain and the creeping feeling A little black haired girl Waiting for Saturday The death of her father pushing her Pushing her white face into the mirror Aching inside me And turn me around Just like the old days Just like the old days Bridge: Bb Just like the old days Just like the old days Caressing an old man And painting a lifeless face Just a piece of new meat in a clean room The soldiers close in under a yellow moon All shadows and deliverance Under a black flag A hundred years of blood Crimson The ribbon tightens round my throat I open my mouth And my head bursts open A sound like a tiger thrashing in the water Thrashing in the water Over and over We die one after the other Over and over We die one after the other Bridge: Bb One after the other One after the other One after the other One after the other Crd: Gb It feels like a hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years A hundred years One hundred years ********** “A SHORT TERM EFFECT” Words by: R.Smith Music by: The Cure published by: Fiction Records, 1982 Tabbed by: graph_sas Main Riff: Dm, C, G, F

^AGive me your ^Beyes that I can see ^G ^AThe blind man ^Bkissing my hands ^G The sun is humming My head turns to dust as he plays on his knees As he plays on his knees

^FAnd the sand and the sea glows I ^Gclose my eyes ^FMove slowly through ^Gdrowning waves ^AGoing away on a ^Bstrange day

And I laugh as I drift in the wind Blind Dancing on a beach of stone Cherish the faces as they wait for the end Sudden hush across the water And we're here again And the sand And the sea grows I close my eyes Move slowly through drowning waves Going away On a strange day

^FAnd the sand and the sea glows I ^Gclose my eyes ^FMove slowly through ^Gdrowning waves ^AGoing away on a ^Bstrange day

^EMy head falls back and the walls crashed in ^F ^GAnd the sky and the impossible explodes ^A ^BAnd for one moment I remember a song ^C ^DAn expression of sounds ^EAnd the everything is gone forever
