The Top (album)
The Top is the fifth studio album by English band The Cure, released on 30 April 1984 by Fiction Records.
2006 re-release
The album was re-released August 8, 2006 in the U.S. and August 14 in the UK.
The second disc has four previously unreleased tracks ("You Stayed", "Ariel", "A Hand Inside My Mouth" – lyrics from which were eventually used in "Inbetween Days" and "Six Different Ways" – and "Sadicic", which was repurposed as "New Day"), three live performances, and studio outtakes/demos of nine of the ten songs on the original album (and of "Happy the Man" and "Throw Your Foot", final versions of which were released as B-sides on the single "The Caterpillar"). A mastering error which resulted in "Bananafishbones" playing a semitone lower than intended was corrected on this 2006 re-release, with the correct pitch of the song restored.
Live performances
In April 2014, the Cure announced that in late 2014 they would be performing The Top, The Head on the Door and Kiss Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me in their entirety as part of their 3rd Trilogy tour.
Top (comics)
The Top is a fictional character, a supervillain in the DC Universe. One of the earliest members of the Silver Age Flash's "Rogues' Gallery", the character debuted in The Flash #122 (August 1961).
Fictional character biography
Roscoe Dillon is a small-time crook who turns his childhood obsession with tops into a criminal persona. Roscoe taught himself how to spin around fast enough to deflect bullets and produce other semi-useful effects. The Top soon discovers that the spinning somehow increased his intelligence as well, allowing him to create a variety of trick tops. He tried to blackmail the world with an Atomic Top that would destroy half the world when it slowed down and imprisoned the Flash inside it, but the Flash vibrated out of it and sent it into space. His unique gimmick and moderate success in crime soon makes him a respected member of the Flash's rogues gallery. He dates Golden Glider, Captain Cold's sister, while coaching her on ice skating. Eventually, the Top develops immense psionic powers, as years of spinning moves dormant brain cells to the outer areas of his brain, endowing him with mental powers.

The Envelope
by: Naked RaygunYou pull up to the big brown
You pull up in your big white
Then you're climbing the stairs
No matter who you are
No matter what your beef, boy
You take the big green stacks
And you shove 'em in the white one
That's the way of the envelope
It's good work if you can get it
Beats pushing
You remember a time
You remember it well
It was a fine fine place to live
You pull up in your big brown car
You pull up in your big white brick
Then you're climbing the stairs to take you up to the 8th, or 9th or 10th
No matter who you are
No matter what your beef, boy
You take the big green stacks
And you shove 'em in the white one
That's the way of the envelope
It's good work if you can get it
Beats pushing
You remember a time
You remember it well
