"Inbetween Days" (sometimes listed as "In Between Days" or "In-Between Days") is a song by the English alternative rock band The Cure. The song was released as the first single from the band's 1985 album "The Head on the Door". In the UK, it was the band's ninth chart single and their fourth consecutive Top 20 hit; while in the US it was their first single to hit the Hot 100, peaking at #99. It was an Australian Top 20 hit (#16) and also charted in several European countries, increasing the popularity of the band. It also gave its name to a documentary in the BBC's series "40 Minutes" following teenagers in Milton Keynes.

Title

The title of this song is widely disputed, as it varies between "In Between Days" and "Inbetween Days" on many official Cure releases. The single used "In Between Days", whereas the album "The Head on the Door" uses "Inbetween Days". However, the CD release of the album also uses "In Between Days" on the actual disc. The 1986 singles compilation "Standing on a Beach" uses both "In Between Days" and "In-Between Days", whereas the 1990 remix album "Mixed Up", the 1993 live album "Show", the 2001 "Greatest Hits" collection and the 2004 b-sides compilation "" each use "Inbetween Days". The 2006 re-release of "The Head on the Door" uses "Inbetween Days" on the back of the box and the tracklisting in the booklet, but uses "In Between Days" as the title in the lyrical portion of the book.
