"Screw" is a Robert Smith song from The Head on the Door, the Cure's sixth studio album, released by Fiction Records in 1985, the first Cure record where Smith wrote every song on his own. He sings it and produced it with David M. Allen, who also engineered.
It's a snapshot of a rebuilt band. Boris Williams, making his first album with the group, plays drums and percussion, and Simon Gallup, back after several years away, is on bass. The album was a grab bag of styles that Melody Maker summed up as a set of pop songs, and it pulled the Cure toward a wider audience in Europe and North America.
