"I want them (the words) to mean something, it's not enough that they rhyme," Smith told Reuters in a recent interview. "I find myself stopping short and thinking I've done this before, and better.
"I've given myself a deadline to finish the words before Christmas. If I don't I should be shot," he said.

Smith addresses a range of other topics, including the band's new, stripped-down four-piece arrangement for live shows, a new live DVD released this week, and why "it's so pitiful when 'goth' is still tagged onto the name The Cure."
