  • Oh, it's opening time
    Down on Fascination Street
    So let's cut the conversation
    And get out for a bit
    Because I feel it all fading and paling
    And I'm begging
    To drag you down with me
    To kick the last nail in
    Yeah, I like you in that
    Like I like you to scream
    But if you open your mouth
    Then I can't be responsible
    For quite what goes in
    Or to care what comes out
    So just pull on your hair
    Just pull on your pout
    And let's move to the beat
    Like we know that it's over
    If you slip going under
    Slip over my shoulder
    So just pull on your face
    Just pull on your feet
    And let's hit opening time
    Down on Fascination Street

    So pull on your hair
    Pull on your pout
    Cut the conversation
    Just open your mouth
    Pull on your face
    Pull on your feet
    And let's hit opening time

    Down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street
    Down on Fascination Street

  • Johnboy from ScotlandI have loved this tune since its release in 89 and I was still a youngster lol. Listen on YouTube to a mix with Depache Mode Ft The Cure Its No Good On Facination Street. If your like me and both these band you will love this. Its not real but the editing is amazing.
  • Miras from Astana, KazakhstanI love this much too. I'm probably mistaken, I don't know why but to me fascination streets relates to a street with hookers. Does anybody know for sure what the song is about?
  • Stacey from Houston, TxBoy; this song brings back lots of memories. One of the best Cure songs by far.
  • Jeanette from Elkridge, MdThis is my favorite song by the Cure. It sounds absolutely fabulous live. It takes true talent to reproduce something made in the studio to make it sound that good when performed live. I especially like the version on their mixed up cd. There are no lyrics for the first 6 minutes of the song! Love it!!
  • Shaun from Thunder Bay, Canadaanother note: bloodletting was released only 1 year after this song
  • Shaun from Thunder Bay, CanadaThe sound effect at the beginning of this song sounds almost the same as the sound effect used at the beginning of Concrete Blonde's "Bloodletting" ... a song that references New Orleans ... *cues twilight zone music*
  • Spyderette from Springville, UtThis song was written about Robert's experiences on Bourbon Street in New Orleans during Mardi Gras.
