Tox Tunes #107: Lullaby (The Cure)

There is, to be sure, whether the subtext of this song involves child abuse or drug addiction. The director of this video, Tim Pope, has stated that Lullaby is “an allegory of [The Cure frontman] Robert Smith’s druggy past.” Certainly, the lyrics would back back this up: On candy stripe legs the Spiderman comes Softly through the shadow of the evening sun Stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead Looking for the victim shivering in bed Searching out fear in the gathering gloom and Suddenly A movement in the corner of the room And there is nothing I can do When I realize with fright That the Spiderman is having me for dinner tonight Thanks to reader @MandrakeF12 for reminding me of this great song.
