Perhaps it's been explained here before, but..
The man featured on the album cover was not a member of the Cure; he was chosen because his appearance fit the desired aesthetic of the album. His name is John Button, and was at the time a retired fisherman. He also appeared in the music video for "Killing an Arab." According to the band's 2005 biography by Jeff Apter, when asked why he agreed to lend his face to the band's media, Button's answer was "If I can help these youngsters break through, after all, why not?" He also reportedly said that he would buy a player and listen to one of the band's songs "out of curiosity, just to see."

And I like this song. But I like the album cover better...  |

Every time I see the cover, I always wonder why Leonard Cohen's picture is on the front of a Cure album!
