The first time I heard this song I immediately thought of the Wailing Wall (aka the Western Wall) in Jerusalem...mostly because of the title ;) And it seems I was right:

"About my trip to Jerusalem with the Banshees..." (R. Smith, cure news number 10, December 1990)

I love this song and find it so eerie and disturbing yet so peaceful and calming all at once. Who but The Cure could write anything like that?
