| The Cure – The Top Lyrics

The above comment is correct.
At first glance, this song seems to be about any other painful breakup. He wants to forget, he tries not to care, but it does not work (first verse). The second verse is him reminiscing about better times, when they were still together. The Top seems to be a metaphorical place, the place where you are when you're happy and everything is good in life. And then he realizes all he really wants is to get back together.
But digging a bit deeper in The Cure's history at that point, you realize this lyric is directly addressed at Simon, who he hadn't spoken to for over a year. Actually, the last line suggests he may be directing the song at other former band members as well, like Porl. Of course, they did come back in the end, and thank heavens they did. |

You're right about those last three verses, he's saying "I'm in the dark". I never really noticed it, but it does make a lot more sense in the context. Whoever posted these lyrics seems to have trouble getting his lyrics right, he's made quite a few (glaring) mistakes with other songs.
Now that I have gotten better used to the '89 version of this song, I have to agree that the original version is more likeable than the Made in Heaven version. It's just that in the '89 version there's a strange echo-y thing going on with Freddie's voice, which makes it sound a bit muffled. The '95 version removes those voice transformations, making Freddie's voice sound crisper. Still, overall the original version sounds a lot more honest. |

Small update: In the meantime I've managed to get hold of the '89 version of this song, and that one indeed has the extra lyrics at the end. Still, I think the '95 version is better, Freddie's voice sounds clearer there. |

Note that there are two versions of this song. It was originally released as a B-side to 1989's Scandal, and for 1995's Made in Heaven album it was reworked to the version that is now better known. I haven't heard the 1989 version yet (need to find it somewhere), but perhaps that's where the missing lyrics can be found. |

This song has the most mood swings of any Queen song I know. That makes it really interesting to listen to, the song doesn't get boring at any point. The transition into Funny How Love Is at the end is also pretty nice. |
