The Cure Boys Don't Cry (CD). Title: Boys Don't Cry. Artist: The Cure. Smith's lyrics are bleakly sarcastic (as when he spells out the title of "Fire in Cairo") and literate (the single "Killing an Arab," a nihilistic sketch based on a scene from Albert Camus's The Stranger).

Smith's lyrics are bleakly sarcastic (as when he spells out the title of "Fire in Cairo") and literate (the single "Killing an Arab," a nihilistic sketch based on a scene from Albert Camus's The Stranger). The band matches them with swift, tingling arrangements that dodge skillfully around rock's machismo and self-indulgence, even when Smith launches into the occasional gnarled little solo. --Douglas Wolk Record Label: Elektra / Wea Language: English Artist: The Cure No Of Discs: 1 Country/Region of Manufacture: Canada Genre: Indie & Alternative Release Date: 12/11/2006 Type: Goth Language: English MPN: 075596078627 Release Year: 2006 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
