The song is the highest charting single by the band in their home country, reaching number five on the UK Singles Chart. Additionally, the song reached number one in Poland and number three in Germany and Ireland while becoming a top-ten hit in several other European countries and New Zealand. The music video won the British Video of the Year at the 1990 Brit Awards. BackgroundThe meaning of "Lullaby" has been speculated by fans, including as a metonymy for addiction or depression,[1] and Smith has offered multiple explanations as to its theme or content, such as childhood nightmares or abuse.[1] Tim Pope, a long-time collaborator of The Cure on many of its music videos, interprets "Lullaby" as an allegory for lead singer Robert Smith's druggy past.[1] Music videoThe music video for "Lullaby" was filmed at a sound stage in London, England.[2] It features Robert in bed, in a dream sequence, and the rest of the band playing tin soldiers who sporadically appear throughout the music video for a few seconds.[2] The music video, during which Smith plays both the cannibalistic "spiderman" mentioned in the lyrics and his intended victim, concludes with Smith being swallowed by what appears to be a giant spider.[2] The music video, directed by Tim Pope and edited by Peter Goddard,[3] won British Video of the Year at the 1990 Brit Awards.[4] ReceptionUpon its release, "Lullaby" became The Cure's highest-charting hit in their home country when it reached number five on the UK Singles Chart. It remains their only single to reach the top five in the United Kingdom. In Ireland, "Lullaby" became the band's third top 10 hit and highest-charting single, reaching number three.[5] "Lullaby" was a major radio hit in Poland, topping the LP3 Airplay Chart for four weeks. The song also reached the top 10 in Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, New Zealand and Norway. In North America, the song was released as the second single from Disintegration instead ("Fascination Street" was the first), but did not match its predecessor's level of success, only reaching number 72 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 23 on the Billboard Modern Rock Chart. Track listing{{Unreferenced section|date=January 2014}}The US-only single "Fascination Street" included the B-sides from the UK release of "Lullaby". Therefore, the US release needed some new B-sides. The two live cuts, "Homesick" and "Untitled", are from the limited edition live album Entreat, which was recorded during the Disintegration Tour. The song was remixed for single release, giving it more of an electronic feel. 7": Fiction / FISC 29 (UK)
