"Three Imaginary Boys"

UK Released May 1979 Robert Smith - Vocals, Guitar Michael Dempsey - Bass, Vocals Lol Tolhurst - Drums

"Close my eyes and hold so tight I'm scared of what the morning brings, Waiting for tomrow never comes, Deep inside the empty feeling all the night times leaves me, Three Imaginay Boy's sing in my sleep sweet child the moon will chnage your mind"

Michael Dempsey / Lol Tolhurst/ Robert

This CD was released only in Europe.  Imports were later brought to the US.  On the CD, "Foxy Lady" has an asterisk (*) by it probably because that is the only song (of all the albums not including "The Easy Cure" and the band before that) from "The Cure" that was sung by someone other than Robert Smith.  This is Michael Dempsey who left due to a disagreement with the bass lines Robert was writing for him.  This CD did not include the title "Three Imaginary Boys" because Robert was tring to be "Anti-Image."

"Boys Don't Cry"

US Realese Feb 1979 Robert Smith - Vocals, Guitar Michael Dempsey - Bass Vocals(?) Lol Tolhurst - Drums

"Waiting for the telephone to ring, And I'm wondering where she's been, And I'm crying for yesturday, and the tab drips, Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip Drip... It's always the same"

Boys Don't Dry (2:25) Plastic Passion (2:14) 10:15 Saturday Night (3:38) Acurracy (2:16) So What (3:01) Jumping Someone Else's Train (2:56) Subway Song (1:59) Killing An Arab (2:22) Fire In Cairo (3:21) Another Day (3:43) Grinding Halt (2:49) Three Imaginary Boys (3:14)

This Cd is confusing.  I'm not sure if there were two different releases of this album.  www.thecure.com has more songs on this Cd and in a totlay different order.  It says  "release date Feb 1980" and my Cd has the date 1979.  But when I buy this Cd it is not an Inport.  This Cd was done again to add more songs and was only to be realesed only in the US.  I'm not sure what song Michael Dempsey sung or maybe he was just back up vocals for certaint songs

"Seventeen Seconds"

UK Release 1980 Robert Smith - Vocals, Guitar Lol Tolhurst - Drums Simon Gallup - Bass Mathieu Heartley - Keybords

"Suddenly I stop but I know it's to late, I'm lost in a forest, all alone, the girl was never there, it's always the same, I run into what's nothing, again and again, and again, and agian and again..."

Lol Tolhurst / Mathieu Heartley Robert / Simon Gallup

Some say (as do I) that this is a CD that heads into Robert's "dark side" of his music.  This CD was also Heartleys,and Simon Gallups first with the cure.  This was also Heartleys last record with them. If you notice this CD's music is different from the other two, as all of them differ from each other.

"Faith"

UK Release 1980 Robert Smith - Vocals / Guitar Simon Gallup - Bass Lol Tolhurst - Drums

"One by one the sences die the memories fade and leave her eyes. still seeing worlds that never were, one by one the bright birds leave her..."

The Holy Hour (4:25) Primary (3:35) Other Voices (4:28) All Cats Are Gray (5:28) The Funeral Party (4:14) Doubt (3:11) The Drowning Man (4:50) Faith (6:43)

This album has sorda slow with a few fast ones (Doubt and Primary).  I like to listen to this album when I'm ready to go to bed or something heh heh.  Love the words to Drowning Man.  Wonder what that picture is on the cover.  Sorda looks like a close eye with the corner of someones lips on the bottom middle.  I guess it's a face I dunno.  They started to putt makeup around this time, or even around 17 seconds.  They were both released in the same year so meh

"Pornography"

UK Release 1982 Robert Smith - Voice / Guitar Keybords Simon Gallup - Bass - Keybords Lol Tolhurst - Drums Keybords

"My head falls back and the walls crash down, and the sky and the imposible explode, held for one moment I remember a song, and imprestion of a sound, and everything is gone for ever"

One Hundred Years (6:42) A Short Term Effect (4:25) The Hanging Garden (4:32) Siamese Twins (5:35) The Figurehead (6:15) A Strange Day (5:06) Cold (4:26) Pornography (6:28)

Lol Tolhurs / Robert / Simon Galup

Pornagraphy is sorda goth if you wana give it a lable.  It's cool.  This is the album I am not to familiar with out of my CD's.  I think Lol's mom died just before they made this.  This was truely a sad time for the band for that and other reasons.  I think Roberts life was taking a turn for the worst and all he had left was his music.  Started Doing drugs.  (or so I've read, I personaly don't know if it's true or not)

"Japanese Wispers"

UK Release 1983 Robert Smith - Everything See the thingis that* (continute at the bottom)

"Remember the time that you rained all night, the queen of siam in my arms, Remember the time that the islands sank, but nobody woke up at all"

Um the band was basicly Robert.  If you look at the next picture that is basicly the band during this CD with the exception of Porl Thompson.  He did not come in till "The Top"

Let's go to bed The Dream Just One Kiss The Upstairs Room The Walk Speak My Language La Ment The Lovecats

The thing with this CD is that it's mostly special affects and sounds... Something one person can put together in a studio by themself and that's exactly what Robert Did for most of the songs.  He did all except "Speak My Language" and "The Lovecats" all by himself.  Simon had left the group and Lol does not know much about writing music.  Then I guess as he was done with most of the album he found another percusionist and a bassis.   So he did two songs with the whole band.   So this album was almost done by Robert and not The Cure.   But that's just a stupid thing to say but I just wanted to make a point.  I dont' have the times for these songs becuase they were not on my CD.  I think that Robert did this album to cover up how alone he was.  The music does not imply that he was a one man band really.  If you to even pay attention to that at least.  The words about about girls.  But jsut about every other song is.

"The Top"

UK Release 1984 Robert Smith - instruments voice Andy Anderson - Drums and Precusion Porl Thompson - Saxaphone Lol Tolhurst - other instruments

"This girl has got a smile that could make me cry, this girl just burns with love, she's burning burning deep inside"

Shake Dog Shake Bird Mad Girl Wailing Wall Give me it Dressing up The Caterpillar Piggy in the mirror The empty world Bananafishbones The Top

Phill Thornalley / Porl Thompson / Robert/ Andy Andersong / Lol Tolhurst

Hm...  The Top was a getting together album for the cure?  Sorda I guess.  This album is not as easy to aquire.  They don't produce this album anymore.  And Electra did not copy this album either.  This is the album where Lol was drifting away from the group.  I guess it started before.  He started to become less and less worth to the group.  Partially because he did not contribute much.  It's really sad because he is the only member (beside Robert) that is still from the begining.

"The Head On The Door"

UK Release 1985 Robert Smith - Voice, Guitar, Keybords Simon Gallup - Bass Porl Thompson - Guitar, Keybords Boris Williams - Drums Percusion Lol Tolhurst - Nothing

"Say hello on a day like today say it every time you move, the way you look at my now makes me wish I was you, It goes deep, it goes deeper still this touch, And the smile and the shake of your head..."

Lol Tolhust / Simon Gallup / Robert / Boris Williams / Porl Thompson

"Kiss Me Kiss Me Kiss Me"

"I'd love to touch the sky tonight, I'd love to touch the sky so take me in your arms and lift me like a child, and hold me up so high and never let me go, Take me, Take me in your arms tonight"

"Disintegration"

"And I feel like I'm being eaten by a thousand million shivery furry holes, And I know that in the morning I will wake up in the shivering cold And the spider man is always hungry..."

"Wish"

"Remember how it used to be when the sun would fill the sky, remember how we used to feel those days would never end... It was the sweetness of your skin, it was the hope of all we might have been, that filled me up with the hope, to wish imposible thigns"

"Wild Mood Swings"

"Remember that I was always true Remember that I always tried, Rembember that I loved only you, Remember me and smile, for it is better to forget, then to remember me and cry"

"Bloodflowers"

"Between you and me, it's hard to ever really know who to trust how to think what to beleive, between you and me it's hard to ever really know who to chose how to feel what to do"
