Never & Always are lyrically common Cure words yet almost mutually exclusive
222 Cure songs excl instrumentals:
97 (44%) have word NEVER in lyrics
79 (36%) mention ALWAYS
One might expect 35 songs (0.44 x 0.36 x 222) to include both words in lyrics, but no, just 2 songs do that: Alone & Taking Off

Not so fun fact: CGS is epileptic
Coming across someone having a seizure is a rare event, unlikely you'd see more than one in a lifetime
Most people wouldn't know what to do if they witnessed one so cheatsheet👇
Unless seizure goes on for 5mins don't call 999 until after patient wakes
