Accuracy Lyrics

[Intro]
Cherish this moment, feel safe

[Verse 1]
We sit in the same room, side by side
I give you the wrong lines, feed you


[Chorus]
Accuracy
Accuracy

[Verse 2]
Look into my eyes, we both smile
Can kill you without trying

[Chorus]
That's accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy


[Bridge]
An observer's refrain

[Chorus]
Accuracy
Accuracy

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did The Cure say about "Accuracy"?
Genius Answer

Robert Smith said in a fanzine that this song is about:

the ease and desire of hurting someone you sometimes love.

In 1996, Smith told The Big Makeover that, despite his overall dislike of the band’s first album, he likes this song:

Yeah, there are some good songs on it. I think “Accuracy” is a really good one.

He also reportedly called “Accuracy”:

the most perfect of songs, few words, little music
