if you want the lyrics to bananafishbones by The Cure go to my website (a little shameless self-promotion here heehee....) http://www.geocities.com/SoHo/Gallery/2803 or for you lazy ones e-mail me and i'll hook you up with the URL for the page with the words on it......anyway, i don't recall which album it is on.....i think it was a b-side (i'll have to ask my obsessed cure fan girlfriend about it). You are correct about killing an arab (one of the cure's earlier songs) being based on The Stranger by Camus........as for other Cure songs based on literary works i know there are at least a few more but the only other one i can recall offhand is Charlotte Sometimes based on the childrens book of the same name by Penelope Farmer. If you want the lyrics to any of the songs just e-mail me and i will gladly send them off to you. (i am currently working on getting all the lyrics to my fav cure songs on my page so i'll have to check if they are on there right now) Enough about the cure for now, lets get back to Salinger....... -Scott ---------- > << a perfect day for bananafish (which her favourite band > The Cure wrote a song about >> > this is interesting, do you know which album this is from or any of the words? > the cure [whom i love as a band] also wrote a song about camus' 'the stranger' > called 'killing an arab'. do they have any other songs based in literature? > just curious... > bethany
