I remember ‘Lovecats’ coming out. I used to go to this really trendy half-pub half-disco in Horley and they used to play the singles and the album and people would come up and say ‘Bet you’re sick now’. Well, I was but, at the same time, I felt proud that they’d made it, that they got there, that there were so many people who wanted to put The Cure down and Robert had the last laugh. I got really protective when people used to slag them off and when ‘Let’s Go to Bed’ came out, I really wanted to call them but I couldn’t — too much pride.
