lyrics
Candy’s walking on the dark side of the street
Finds Jimmy sleeping on the cold concrete
Takes a knife out of her old trenchcoat
With surgical precision leaves a smile on his throat
Next thing you know she’s at the ranch motel
Picks up a man she don’t know very well
Makes him shiver, makes him speak in tongues
Then stabs a knife through his liver and his longues
Candy kills for fun, yes she does
When she’s around you know you you’d better up and run
Candy’s got no soul, But she’s definately on a roll
Sweet Candy
Hard Candy
Skinny Kenny takes his father to church
Prays for the souls that are lost on earth
Kneels down to talk to the good Lord allmighty
Gets up to find his daddy stabbed twenty times, yeah
Kenny runs outside, to find a fearful sight
Candy on her knees, in each hand a knife
Both arms stikking up to the sky above
You can’t blame a girl for looking for some fathers love
Skinny Kenny, he loses it
Scream at the girl:
“What is this crazy shit?!”
Grabs her by the shoulders only to forget
Two gigantic knives way too close to his head
Candy’s got it bad, yes she does
Won’t stop for no-one, at no cost
She’s onto you and your friends
She’s at the mercy of her murdering hands, sweet Candy
Father William watches from afar
Takes his 45. from behind the altar
Pulls his robes together and he steps outside
Puts a bullet right between Candy’s eyes
Candy’s got it bad, yes she does
Won’t stop for no-one, at no cost
She’s onto you and your friends
She’s at the mercy of her murdering hands, sweet Candy

Wow! Haven't heard this kind of energy from a brass band before. Great to see what happens when musicians are also the composers. Highly recommended! Alex Hall
