Ok, there are lot more than these — but I just happened to stumble upon this and it really made me laugh. I remember back in the summer of 1995 there was a lot of buzz on the internet about the new Cure songs being played on that tour. Somebody was kind enough to send me a copy of the Glastonbury '95 FM broadcast on tape, so I was also having fun guessing at the names of the new songs.

While I wasn't completely sure, I started to believe that Mint Car was either "Lip Power" or "Mink Car" — and that Jupiter Crash was "Jobe to Crash".  :oops:

Well, it looks like some bootleggers had their own take on things — even on some more well-known songs:

awesome :lol:

the giant gas planet must have been a mystery to bootleg makers. there's a song called 'jude to crash'on 'the return - sonoria '95'

maybe it's a homage to a beatles song?:
hey jude, don't make it - crash?
take a sad song and make it better...??


'want' is (primarily) called 'any more time'.
Ay, in the very temple of Delight
Veil'd Melancholy has her sovran shrine

'cut' is listed as '1,2,3,4' - not too hard to guess what inspired that name.
:lol:

And there's a Werchter '95 boot that lists Want as "Anymore Time".
and we close our eyes to sleep
to dream a boy and girl
who dream the world is nothing but a dream

It's also funny to remember the bootleg titles of that time (particulary the old vinyls/cds) :

"Sorry Robert, We can't Stop this f*cking Taping" (Berlin 85)
"The Grave Which Grins at the Last" (Herford 80)
"High Tops 'n Hairspray" (Paris 89)
"Invasion of the Body-Snatchers" (Peel Sessions)
"Pretty Baby Scream"
etc.

I liked that sillyness. Invasion of Body Snatchers... wtf, it's a movie title.  :lol:

I have been really worried that Robert's gone a bit soft by changing "Killing an Arab" to "Killing a stranger" so that he is seen to be politically correct. The song placed in context is not racist so a simple explanation on the CD would be informative for fans.  And what about "Baby rag doll book" now being called simply "Its over"? Who exactly is running the show here?  Sorry to bring a downer on things but I've always liked the fact that Robert stands up for his art and beliefs which surround it.  Dont give up Robert. Write for youself and your fans. We're here to support you.
