Lyrics[]

I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
And listen to The Cure all night
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
And listen to The Cure all night

One Hundred Years
All Cats Are Grey
A Short Term Effect
Fire in Cairo
In Between Days

I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
And listen to The Cure all night

10:15 on a Saturday night
The Same Deep Water as You
Always Jumping Someone Else's Train
But all of Pornography
Especially side two

I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
And listen to The Cure all night
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high
And listen to The Cure all night

A Forest, Secrets
Hold The Figurehead
Primary, Charlotte Sometimes
Let's Go To Bed

I wanna get high
I wanna get high
I wanna get high

Comments by John Darnielle About this Song[]

  • "Speaking of singles, Peter Hughes, on hearing 'Get High and Listen to the Cure' -- written for Goths, attempted in the studio sessions in versions that lacked the snap of this demo -- felt certain this was the song that would make us a household name. I'm fond of the song, though I don't share his conviction that it's the Mountain Goats song the whole world has been waiting to hear. Should this release prove Peter right, I will be quite content to concede the point." -- 2019-08-12, Merge Records press release
