Fascination Street

"Fascination Street" was inspired by an alcoholic night in New Orleans. In the liner notes for the compilation Galore, Robert Smith describes “Fascination Street” as:A ‘generic’ song about the (often cynical) delights of exploring a new city nightlife; based loosely on one particular ‘band adventure’ in New Orleans 1985 – Bourbon Street, the cliche perhaps.Smith has additionally commented, "I was getting ready to go there, and I thought, 'What the fuck do I think I'm going to find?' It's about the incredulity that I could still be fooled into looking for a perfect moment." ==Track listings==
