"Candy Says"

(Candy Darling in Memoriam)

And one more Velvet Underground cover.... and once more you can watch me look stupid while I'm singing:



Candy says I've come to hate my body
and all that it requires in this world
Candy says I'd like to know completely
what others so discreetly talk about

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says I hate the quiet places
that cause the smallest taste of what will be
Candy says I hate the big decisions
that cause endless revisions in my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older
What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

That sounded good! And I like being able to watch you as you play - you've got sort of a Randy Newman style going on.

Yay! thanks. Just had to overcome my shyness. I've bought the new Randy newman album, but I haven't listened properly to it yet. I'll have to do it so I can put up a review.
