LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: DIFFERENT STARS/TRESPASSERS WILLIAMS

So you'd sing a lullaby to get me to sleep
So it's no surprise my eyes are never heavy
For I've not seen you in the flesh for so long
That I'm not sure we would know each other at all

The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are
The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don't think twice wherever you are

So I will hum alone, too far from you
All that I say now is nothing to you
We will lie under different stars
I am where I am and you're where you are
You're where you are

The weight it must be light wherever you are
And I know you don' t think twice wherever you are
And I'd ask if you're all right wherever you are
And do you think of me, you might, wherever you are

On candystripe 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
And I realise with fright
That the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight

Quietly he laughs and shaking his head
Creeps closer now
Closer to the foot of the bed
And softer than shadow and quicker than flies
His arms are around me and his tongue in my eyes
"Be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
Don't struggle like that or I will only love you more"
But it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
The spiderman is having you for dinner tonight

And I feel like I'm being eaten
By a thousand million shivering furry holes
And I know that in the morning I will wake up
In the shivering cold

The spiderman is always hungry

LA CANZONE DEL GIORNO: GALAPOGOS/THE SMASHING PUMPKINS

Ain't it funny how we pretend we're still a child?
Softly stolen under blanket skies

And rescue me from me, and all that I believe
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?

Carve out your heart for keeps in an old oak tree
And hold me for goodbyes and whispered lullabyes

And tell me I am still the man I'm supposed to be
I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Will you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?

Too late to turn back now; I'm running out of sound
And I am changing, changing
And if we died right now
This fool you love somehow, is here with you

I won't deny the pain
I won't deny the change
And should I fall from grace, here with you
Would you leave me too?
Will you leave me too?
