The Cure - The Top: Wikipedia Album Entry
"The Top" is the 5th studio album of seminal post-punk / gothic rock band The Cure.
With the incorporation of folk, psychedelic and ethnic elements "The Top" is the band's most experimental work to date, though much of the gloomy strains and post-punk melodicism of earlier Cure albums were retained throughout this album's duration.
Reception to "The Top" has been varied since its release, however it was a moderate commercial success which furthered Cure's exposure to music fans around the world. It entered 180th in The Billboard 200 for 1984.
"The Top" was followed by a world tour that same year.

The Cure - The Top Lyrics
The Cure - Wailing Wall Lyrics
The holy city breathed
Like a dying man
It moved with hopeful tears
With the tears of the blind
The Cure - Bananafishbones Lyrics
Curl into a ball like you have more fun
Well that would make it faster
Why do you do it do you do it do you act like you?
Why do you do it do you act like you?
The Cure - Give Me It Lyrics
Get away from me
Get your fingers out of my face
This room's so hot
This room's so hot
The Cure - Bird Mad Girl Lyrics
This girl has got a smile
That can make me cry
This girl just burns with love
She's burning, burning deep outside
The Cure - Piggy In The Mirror Lyrics
Shapes in the drink like Christ
Cracks in the pale blue wall
I'm walking slowly and quickly but always away
I'm twisting twisting to the floor
The Cure - Shake Dog Shake Lyrics
Wake up in the dark, the aftertaste of anger in the back of my mouth
Spit it on the wall and cough some more
And scrape my skin with razor blades
And make up in the new blood and try to look so good, follow me
The Cure - The Empty World Lyrics
As stiff as toys and tall as men
And swaying like the wind torn trees
She talked about the empty world
With eyes like poisoned birds
The Cure - The Top Lyrics
I don't care
If only I could say that
And not feel so sick and scared
And I don't care
The Cure - The Caterpillar Lyrics
Flicka flicka flicka, here you are
Cata cata cata, caterpillar girl
Flowin' and fillin' up my hopeless heart
Oh never, never go
The Cure - Dressing Up Lyrics
Going under slowly
It never seems too late
Going under so slow
