For a couple of years now I've had a copy of the single for "Lullaby" on CD, and one thing that's always bothered me is that all of the info on it that I can find says that it came out in April 1989, yet it has two live songs ("Homesick" and "Untitled") from The Cure's shows in Wembley Arena of that same year, in June. So my question is... do The Cure have a time machine?
According to discogs.com, the "Lullaby" CD does not contains the songs you're talking about:

What's the code's catalog of the CD you own?
I have this one: http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the_cure/lullaby_f1/ (http://rateyourmusic.com/release/single/the_cure/lullaby_f1/)
I have this CD with Homesick and Untitled LIVE ...
