"The Walk" is the name of a 1983 single by The Cure. It later appeared on their album Japanese Whispers. "The Walk" is known to be the only Cure song that Robert Smith's mother liked up to that point. It was also a successful commercial single, peaking at #12 in the UK.

One of the three B-sides is "Lament" which is a re-recording of a promo-single released in late 1982 for the Flexipop magazine. Unlike the earlier version, which was garbled and experimental, the lyrics are understandable and the music has better flow.
