"Strange Attraction" is the name of a single released by the British group the Cure in 1996 on Elektra Records. The song was initially released on the album Wild Mood Swings, and was a single only in the USA.
History
No music video was filmed to promote the single, believed to be because Robert Smith felt the last video for a single release exclusively in the USA, "Fascination Street", was not what the band were aiming for.

"Cut Here" is the name of a single released by the British group Records. The song was initially released on the album Greatest Hits
The Cure in 2001 on Fiction Records / Elektra and reached number 54 on the UK Singles Chart
History
The song gets its title from the fact that Robert Smith had believed it would be the last song the band would record, and it is also an anagram of the band's name. This song is about the suicide of friend and Associates singer Billy Mackenzie in 1997.
"Cut Here" was originally going to be the B-side with "Signal to Noise" being the A-side. This fact was confirmed in Join the Dots, with an acoustic version of "Signal to Noise" being intended to be on Greatest Hits before the switch. "Signal to Noise" was played live in The Cure's 2005 festivals because returning member Porl Thompson really liked the song. It was one of the rare B-sides to be performed live regularly. (The last was "The Big Hand" in 1992.) "Cut Here" was played sparingly at festivals from 2001–2002 and has not been played since.
Acoustic version
The song was re-recorded later in 2001 for the band's twelfth studio album, Acoustic Hits, which contains eighteen re-recordings of previous songs by the band using acoustic guitars, and was only released as a limited edition bonus disc to the said greatest hits album. Because of that, this acoustic version is quite rare, and was only released on the Acoustic Hits album, as were all the songs on this album (except for the version of "Never Enough", was released in 2010 on the Brit Awards 2010 album).

"The Only One" is a single by the British band The Cure which was released on 13 May 2008 on Geffen Records in the United Kingdom. The single was released in the United States on 20 May 2008.[1] It is the first single to be
released by The Cure in over three and a half years — their last single being 2004's "Taking Off" / "alt.end". It is also the first single from the 2008 album, 4:13 Dream. The single was produced by Robert Smith and Keith Uddin. The song debuted live on October 7, 2007 in Mountain View, California at a festival and was also played in Mexico City the next week. During that time, the song was known as "Please Project".[2] It wasn't until early on in the European tour in early 2008 was "The Only One" established as the title.
The B-side, "NY Trip", does not appear on the new album.[3]
Reception
In an early review on their website, Canadian music magazine Exclaim!, describes the song as if it could have come from the sessions for the uplifting 1992 Wish album. They went on to add that Smith sounds "happier than ever" and that the song is a return to the form that produced many of their Top 40 hits.[4] The Observer described the song as having all the ingredients of a classic Cure song by having "lovely spiralling guitars, glowing bass and Robert Smith at his giddiest".[5] Saying that the song sounds "like a pop single by The Cure", Pitchfork Media adds that the lyrics are not distinctive and goes on to say that the release will not make anyone forget the previous great singles from the
