Throw Your Foot
The Cure · Join The Dots: B-Sides & Rarities 1978-2001 [2003]
Gets bigger in this atmosphere
And your mouth goes dry
With every move you try
It's so funny here!
Jumping around
Click click click
When you're so slow
It's like the world is stopping...
Fifteen times I try this
And every time I faint
You look at me and
Start to tell the joke
About the man who couldn't stop
Hiccupping...
It would be so perfect
If you would just fall out the window!
Throw your foot away!
You're tired and your face is grey
Like the sad old fool
You groove...
Hey hey hey!!!
Throw Your Foot
Throw Your Foot stands as a vibrant example of The Cure's ability to shift between introspection and energetic danceability. Released during a prolific period for the band, the track captures the post-punk and new wave sensibilities that defined their early evolution. The recording features the driving rhythms and melodic guitar work characteristic of Robert Smith's songwriting, offering a lively counterpoint to the band's more somber catalog songs. As part of their extensive collection of b-sides and rarities, the song highlights the group's willingness to experiment with tempo and arrangement. It remains a favorite among fans for its infectious energy and showcases the dynamic range present throughout their decades-long career.
