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
On Fascination Street

Otherwise we could never be able to relate her ideas, when she did not tell us all this things. I miss very much her inspired comments! |
| helgigermany (Germany) | Posted: May 12, 2013 - 22:50 Nice! |
| Derecho (A Land Without Traffic Lights) | Posted: Feb 25, 2013 - 17:48 My favorite song to use for Guitar Hero warm-up. |

It's Friday, near noon as I type this, and my day has already landed in hell in a very uncomfortable hand-basket.

At one point, we almost had three in the carrier, but then one squirmed out and the others followed. We finally called the vet and apologized. We're re-scheduled for tomorrow, but I suspect it'll be more of the same. So - I'm nursing a vodka and tonic with a slice of lemon, and listening to this song with a silly grin on my face (well, that's the only kind of grin I have.) Here's to three-day weekends, a Zen job, and furry four-footers that may someday make lovely boot-linings.  Well said... we miss you, Cynaera... love this song... |

| FrnaZ | Posted: Dec 07, 2012 - 04:47 I find the bass line too repetitive (as it is very present in the mix). |

| coloradojohn (A Mile High and then some, Cherry Creek, Denver) | Posted: Oct 23, 2012 - 09:40 Lovin' this BASS-RIDE; Tame Impala's 'Elephant,' Joe Strummer's 'Get Down Moses,' The Police's 'Invisible Sun,' and now a trip down this seething, urgent 'Fascination Street'...thanks RP for tapping well into THE FOUNDING GROUNDING GROOVE this sunny morn, as I sit back, watch the electrified leaves flutter down to Earth, and try to relish these last gasps of exquisite Indian Summer before some Real Cold rolls back in... |

| lily34 (lexvegas) | Posted: May 23, 2012 - 08:03 this song, and most cure songs, really - but especially this one, always makes me think of BCNH from early days of RP. wherever you are, BCNH, i hope you're well  |

| Ubaldo (Hurricane Alley, FL -- Inside the Cone) | Posted: Jan 26, 2012 - 05:46 I love RP because I — as a 99%er — love 99% of the music. For me, The Cure is part of the 1 %.  |

| SandwichBoy (Toronto, Canada) | Posted: Sep 21, 2011 - 12:10 Killer song from one exceptionally killer album. Today's playlist is not disappointing so far... :) |
| Egrey (WASH, DC) | Posted: Sep 08, 2011 - 06:51 This song is wonderfully menacing. |

From their baskets. In their sleep. You will pay for your rudeness, human.

Love the koto or the instrument that sounds like a koto. How do you figure out that a trippy goth song just has to have a fucking koto? |
| 1wolfy (Mission Viejo California) | Posted: Jul 07, 2011 - 13:07 The bass and drums are working well together |

| dead_flowers (Providence) | Posted: May 09, 2011 - 21:26 funny how tastes change over time - I clicked the song title to give a 7 and found that I actually had rated it as a 3. |

| Cynaera (South of Neanderthal) | Posted: Apr 03, 2011 - 16:04 I think what I love about this is the drums - that double-beat in the bar... But then, there's that wailing guitar, and the vocals, and the urgency and passion and.... Oh, darn it - bumping it from 9 to 10. It should go on longer and fade out, though... |
| mrdomula (Dresden, Germany) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 10:57 what a great song - one of the best. and this after sour times! Almost too much! Thanx!!! |

DON'T EVER MUTE a song! Just lower the volume. I found that when I muted travesties like say, something by Barenaked Ladies, I'd forget about it and then unmute 20 minutes later only to have to listen to the rest of the song I didn't want to hear in the first place because the audio program, or the station only pauses. But then later, when I'm listening to some really neat old chestnut that hardly ever gets played, like Itchykoo Park, suddenly, the station skips over it to the next song. Your problem could be something else entirely, but I just thought I'd warn everyone. Great set, by the way. Too bad I have to go to a meeting! |
