The Cure are an English alternative rock band formed in Crawley, West Sussex in 1976. The band has experienced several line-up changes, with frontman, vocalist, guitarist and principal songwriter Robert Smith being the only constant member. The Cure first began releasing music in the late 1970s with its debut album Three Imaginary Boys (1979); this, along with several early singles, placed the band as part of the post-punk and New Wave movements that had sprung up in the wake of the punk rock revolution in the United Kingdom. During the early 1980s, the band's increasingly dark and tormented music helped form the gothic rock genre.
After the release of Pornography (1982), the band's future was uncertain and Smith was keen to move past the gloomy reputation his band had acquired. With the 1982 single "Let's Go to Bed" Smith began to place a pop sensibility into the band's music (as well as a unique stage look). The Cure's popularity increased as the decade wore on, especially in the United States where the songs "Just Like Heaven", "Lovesong" and "Friday I'm in Love" entered the Billboard Hot 100 chart. By the start of the 1990s, The Cure were one of the most popular alternative rock bands in the world. The band is estimated to have sold 27 million albums as of 2004. The Cure have released thirteen studio albums, 10 EPs and over thirty singles during the course of their career. Since 2010, they have been working on a fourteenth studio album.
Eric Marlon Bishop (born December 13, 1967), professionally known as Jamie Foxx, is an American actor, singer-songwriter, rapper, stand-up comedian, and talk radio host who began playing the piano when he was five years old. As an actor, his work in the film Ray earned him the Academy Award and BAFTA Award for Best Actor as well as the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a musical/comedy. He is also a Grammy Award winning musician, producing three albums which have charted highly on the Billboard 200: Unpredictable, which topped the chart, Best Night of My Life and Intuition.
Born in Terrell, Texas, Foxx was raised by his mother's adoptive parents. He performed in high school and was awarded with a scholarship to United States International University. In his twenties, Foxx began performing stand-up at comedy clubs, and eventually joined the cast of In Living Color in 1991; this exposure helped him land film roles and star in his own sitcom, The Jamie Foxx Show. He released his debut album, Peep This, in 1994, but he did not gain significant musical success until 2004 when he was featured in Twista's song "Slow Jamz". Also in 2004, Foxx played critically acclaimed roles in the films Collateral and Ray. He released his second album, Unpredictable, in 2005, which was helped by his collaboration on Kanye West's number-one single "Gold Digger". His third album Intuition was released in 2008 and was anchored by the single "Blame It". Foxx released his fourth studio album, Best Night of My Life, in 2010.

Oh your love is so real
Like a new born baby deer
Or a non-alcoholic beer
Like a group of seven days
Or fat free mayonnaise
They’re just like your excuses you give to me
They’re fucking weak
Let’s try some honesty
Just like all your stories so full of holes they fucking leak
Quit patronizing me
Like a box of krispy kremes
Or a pair of worn out jeans
Like a wedge of cartoon cheese
Or some guy with leprosy
Just like all your stories so full of holes they fucking leak
Quit patronizing me
They’re just like your excuses you give to me
They’re fucking weak
Let’s try some honesty
Just like a broken pencil, a new liver for Mickey Mantle
Just like Inside Edition, the red carpet or Paris Hilton
Just like winning a Grammy, or speaking English to a cabbie
I walked across the world to get out of the light,
And what I found was a different fight.
Please let me leave behind the troubles that I’ve made…
Would it be right to live my life at your expense?
I’m so in love with your innocence.
Don’t make me come in here and take it all away.
She said,
“Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like you?
Before you, I lived like I was dangling on a string,
And I couldn’t find beauty in anything.
Please let me join you in the future that I need...
Would it be right to let me live a life I hate?
I’m so in love with the one that you’ve made.
Don’t make me stay behind and battle just to breathe.”
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like…
Can’t you see I want to be just like… (But I could never make you be
just like)
Can’t you see I want to be just like… (But I could never make you be
just like)
Can’t you see I want to be just like… (But I could never make you be
just like)
Can’t you see I want to be just like you? (But I could never make you
be just like me).
