The election for the non-album singles is over, and now we move on to Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 (Disc 1)!
Again, the rules:
1. Always vote for the song you like the least.
2. After 1 day (more than 24 hours), the song that got the most votes has to go and will be dismissed.
3. Then vote for a song of the updated list you like the least.
4. This will go on until there is only one song left, and that would be the most popular song from Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 (Disc 1).
5. In case of a changed vote only edit your original vote post for that particular round do not post a new post saying "I change my vote to so and so" - that makes it really difficult to count rounds.
6. In case of a tie, there will be one more day to vote for the songs with equal votes only. The song that gets most voted during that day will win.

From all those songs, you really like the least "Just One Kiss"? You my friend, once again, blew my brains up :smth068 :-D
Anyway my vote goes to "A Man Inside My Mouth"
A Few Hours After This
Happy The Man is pretty weak
Difficult ... Happy The Man
still the same 'A Man Inside My Mouth'
"Happy The Man" is not so happy as it takes the 18th place slot!

"New Day". Just listening it and wonder why is not out yet :S
The Cure - New Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i72fzMV8bGo#)
Im just listening to Happy The Man and wondering whys its already been cut! Love that song.
Next one for me to chop would be Splintered In Her Head.
and then Pillbox Tales.
I'll vote for New Day in this round
I think that New Day is one of their best b-sides, actually; it combines the darkness of Pornography with the psychedelia of The Top nicely
For me also New Day ...
"New Day" shouts as it takes the 16th place slot!

Maybe because it's the best song in this disk :smth023
A Man Inside My Mouth or Happy the Man
The Exploding Boy is my favorite Bside by them. I wish it had been on The Head on the Door, it could have been the 3rd single.

Anyone else unsure what "A Man Inside My Mouth" means? There seems to always be several interpretations of any lyric, so I thought I'd ask.
Quote from: CJHopegiver on March 06, 2022, 01:31:51Anyone else unsure what "A Man Inside My Mouth" means?
Well, Robert surely had some fun with what the title might imply!
I remember reading he said back in the 80s it came from a nightmare about eating someone.
You can find some interpretations here:
https://songmeanings.com/songs/view/7554/
QuoteSmith remarked that, "I liked that somg because it caused some controversy at the time. I played up to the weirder sexual aspects of the lyric...I realised it was going to be contentious, and I had fun with it!"
...
definatly not about robert giving a man oral sex.
it's another drug induce dream. mostly of the psychedelic kind. that's the way acid is. one second you know what you're doing the next second you are in a situation that you have no idea how you arrived at that point. you can't even speak, your heart is racing and words come out of your mouth but they don't make sence to you. it's like theree is somone else in him speaking on his behalf. i don't think he woke up persay, he just came to the realization that he was in a situation that he didn't understand.
Thank you so much! :smth023
Welcome to the forum, btw. :cool
