A Cure újravette egy régi dalát Idris Elba karácsonyi Luther-epizódjához

A 2010 és 2013 közt a BBC One tévéadón futó, és most 2015-ben még egy kétrészes karácsonyi különkiadással visszatért Luther sorozat író-szerkesztője, Neil Cross 13 éves kora óta nagy rajongója a Cure-nak, és mikor leforgatta stábjával a zárórészt, úgy érezte, hogy annak végére jól illene a zenekar egy 1985-ös B-oldalas száma, az A Few Hours After This (mely annak idején az In Between Days maxijának bónuszdala volt). Felvették a kapcsolatot Robert Smith-szel, ő meg lelkesen és gyorsan rögzített is régi szerzeményéből egy teljesen áthangszerelt új változatot, mely múlt éjszaka így hangzott el a tévében:

a teljes A Few Hours After This dal 1985 júniusában megjelent eredeti stúdiófelvétele:

The look before I go is the look for you
You only have to look and it will all come true
And we can fall outside
Into the fizzy nights

Or pull me down in here, you know it’s all the same
I only want to see if you are happy again
Or we can roll around
And find out upside down, oh

A few hours after this and we’re apart again
Like two white checks, like opposite poles
In a secret game
Like nothing like these I suppose

I really should have known by the cut of your smile
That the answer would be simple
It still took you a while to get it out of me
I thought you’d do it easily

Just put your hands around my heart and squeeze me ’til I’m dry
I never thought you’d ever start to ever ask me why
Just put your hands around my heart and squeeze me ’til I’m dry
I never thought you’d ever start to ever ask me why

I never saw you again

.
a dal demója 1985 februárjából, még teljesen más szöveggel:

If I screw up my eyes
Or screw up my face
Or I’ll turn on the lights
And disguise the distaste
Of this taste in your mouth
I’m sick of this tongue
On the film of your eyes

It’s the way I’ll become
I’m obsessed with the way that you try
To end up to miss a step
Do it for me

And day after day
Makes me wish I was you
Squeeze it till I’m dry
She was worried by the million that came to your mind
If I asked this all again
Again

See my feet
Spinning out again
This is going
Never gets seen
When this choice is made

Dress me up dress me up
In yellow or blue
I’ll always fall all the way
In front of you
Of you

Paralyzed his hands away
The sound of the dead
These clouds away
You never stop
The sunsets go
Dreams away

How can you be so proud ?
If you heard the song
Of this cold night
How are you happy
Hold me tight
Try and stall the only one
I cannot taste
Mourning
As we’re happy
Helpless son
It’s crystal clean
It’s cut for family

A mother who could spit
Say it everytime
Take it to everyone
And look away

When did you know this time ?
I’ll go
Tell me all the tears
Who speak
Still I know
Here they go
These gorgeous fools
Have gone to dance
It seems like fizzy nights away
Nights away
I’ll never
Never
