every quintessential Cure lyric is on Pornography.
In fact, when I was 8 years old (and lasting until about 13, although it's still up there), Pornography was my favourite album. I reckoned it a wonderfully imaginative, entertaining album with brilliantly evocative lyrics and great tunes. It's only much more recently that my innocence has been corrupted and I've been told by everyone that the album's meant to be one of the harshest, most repellent, unlistenable, ugly creations in recent music history. They're wrong, of course. It's still completely beautiful.
