39 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
So the fire is almost out
And there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of thoughts
And I've run right out of words
As I used them up, I used them up
[Verse 2]
Yeah, the fire is almost cold
And there's nothing left to burn
I've run right out of feeling
And I've run right out of world
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And everything I promised
And everything I tried
Yeah, everything I ever did
I used to feed the fire
[Chorus]
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out
[Refrain]
Is almost out
And there's nothing left to burn
No there's nothing left to burn
Not even this
[Verse 3]
Now the fire is almost dead
And there's nothing left to burn
I've finished everything, yeah
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And all the things I promised
And all the things I tried
Yeah, all the things I ever dreamed
I used to feed the fire
[Chorus]
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
I used to feed the fire
But the fire is almost out
[Bridge]
Half my life I've been here
Half my life in flames
Using all I ever had
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
To keep the fire ablaze
But there's nothing left to burn
[Outro]
No, there's nothing left to burn
Now the fire is almost out
The fire is almost out
Yeah, the fire is almost out
Almost out, almost out
Almost out, almost out
And there's nothing left to burn

What did The Cure say about "39"?
Smith told Humo Magazine:
I wrote that song on my birthday, just before entering the studio. I had the lyrics of all songs by then except the one that fit with the melody of what would become “39”. I had decided not to celebrate my birthday, so I was just sitting in the garden with (wife) Mary, and...
