Killing an Arab" is the first single by The Cure. It was recorded at the same time as their first LP in the UK, Three Imaginary Boys (1979), but not included on the album. However, it was included on the band's first US album, Boys Don't Cry (1980). This song lends two of its lines to the titles of one of The Cure's compilation albums, Standing on a Beach, and to its CD/video counterpart Staring at the Sea.

Killing an Arab" as written by Robert James Smith, Laurence Andrew Tolhurst and Michael Stephen Dempsey. Standing on the beach With a gun in my hand Staring at the sea Staring at the sand Staring down the barrel At the Arab on the ground I can see his open mouth But I hear no sound. I'm alive I'm dead I'm the stranger Killing an Arab. I can turn And walk away Or I can fire the gun Staring at the sky Staring at the sun Whichever I chose It amounts to the same Absolutely nothing

Hard to spot what the difference is between 'Styrene' labels and 'silver injection' labels. Anyone? Or is this an attempt to make a separate issue out of absolutely nothing ?!
