Fascination Street (Bestival Live 2011)

In an interview with Select magazine, Cure vocalist and primary songwriter Robert Smith said: "I was thinking of Bourbon Street in New Orleans when I wrote it - I was getting ready to go there and I thought: what the f--k do I think I'm going to find? It's about the incredulity that I could still be fooled into looking for a perfect moment." In the early 20th century, Bourbon street was famous for its popular restaurants and for being a major location of the emerging jazz scene. It is now widely known for its bars and strip clubs.

"Fascination Street" is a fan favorite, but it was released as a single only in the United States.

This was featured on the soundtrack to the 1989 movie Lost Angels. Adam Horovitz from the Beastie Boys was in the film.
