There were once a number of Cure fan sites that gathered alternate and extra lyrics to Faith, as well as other songs that are often changed when played live. It’s been years since any of them were updated and most have long closed.
The Cure Forever will attempt to resurrect that information and add to it as much as possible. Hearing early versions of new songs and alternate versions of the classics has always been an exciting part of seeing The Cure live (or listening to the recordings!) I’ve started with versions of Faith and Forever/All Mine and will go from there. I hope it’s useful and enjoyable to all my fellow Cure fans!
Thank you to the now closed websites that came before me and the the amazing cure-concerts.de, which helped so much in matching up my often mislabeled live collection.
This is by no means a complete listing of alternate live versions or B-sides and rarer songs and should be considered a work in progress. I am working on the 1990s-2010s so please let me know if you saw a live show with alternate lyrics–transcription not required!
