Jesus And Mary Chain, The - Some Candy Talking Lyrics

Fuck a Mike Smith on Radio One.

"Instead of light, I obtain, at the end of the tunnel, oh, always more of the same... Isn't it what you wanted to hear?"

wtf ,best music ever ( today ), i'm drunk :) . Fan number one. É doa caralhoooooooo

I love and breath the Reid Brothers. After reading their auto bio, it’s clear that their main influences of the Phil Spector wall of sound and the Velvet Underground are gloriously distilled and on display on this classic track. Definitely one of my favorites from the boys from Killbride.

Us to J B you NAIL it brother, thanks for such a great comment!

Saw them at Leeds University years and years ago when they were at their peak. Jim looked half cut and they only played 4 songs then buggered off!
It was still great though. All part of their image I guess.

Had the same with a Birthday Party gig in NZ '83. Stuff of memories

best thing! fuzzy, warm, rainy, eternal!

About to eat my Halloween candy listening to this song

Luís Filipe barros, Rock em Stock forever!

So good.

Take a love for Phil Spector’s wall of sound, The Velvet Underground and their own Killbride Scottish homeland and you get the classic sound that is the Jesus and Mary Chain. This is my music. Always.

The best band ever

I want stuff

My ever favourite song of them. Still goosebumps 22 years ago since I listened to it for the first time. That cassette TDK, my bro's cassette. Psychocandy was on side A, don't remember what we had on side two. I remember getting drunk on my teens and listened to this song as I arrived to my bedroom. I'm getting old ;)
Just see them play two days ago in Mexico and they were tight as hell. Really, really good. They played this song among many others. Missed some Stoned and Dethroned songs at their gig, as that is a really good record as well. That Velvet vive yeah. Have a nice day!

I have no idea how people can interpret this as a song about heroin. This is obviously about , forgive my French, pussy if you pay attention to the lyrics. I mean , 'The damp and hungry place', come on. Same goes for Just Like Honey.

I think the Stone Roses took a leaf from this band 🍁

Fav psychocandy song ..great band actuali in my 3 top bands ever ¡!¡

I was going to say they've got the " miserable bastard" look off to a tee but then I remembered they were Scottish so I sent them a box of Prozac. I hope it worked out for them in the end but I can't see it myself. Which is a shame because a nice psychologist once said something about catching them young enough, it won't happen and life will crush every atom of hope out of their worthless bodies. But there I go, rambling again. Where have I put my weed?

IF TOTP HAD KNOWN WHAT THIS SONG WAS ABOUT NO DOUBT SOM WOULD NEVER HAVE APPEARED ON THE SHOW LOL

Best song to come out of Scotland since that old favourite "let's fleece the English"

A song about Oral Sex has never sounded so sincere, so beautiful before :)

Not just oral...

I thought it was about H

Awesome....... just awesome

I'll bet that drummers on disability now the tired twat.

NEED ME SOME SEX::::::::: CANDY

If the Velvet Underground had been Scottish.

Sublime. Stuff!

❤️❤️❤️

Velvet Undergorund

Seeing them tonight at Massey Hall, Toronto in less than an hour. So there.

I never thought about it as drugs I always thought he was talkin bout a girls pussy when he says I want your candy

I was thinking the same, you get to wonder if those people who keep saying "it's not a love song, it's about drugs!!!", have actually ever been 'addicted' to a human being in their entire lives -or have even only been lusting for a human being in their entire lives. Lust is a drug and if you mix it with love, then it becomes the most destructive drug ever.

You put it a bit bluntly, but yes I think it is about desiring & lusting someone's treats. . .

M DS couldn't have said it better bro women man can't stand em but can't live with out em

Wesley Wayne lol u right I could have used better choice of words haha

This is when the girls were in the Gloom Room in the movie

I sincerely think that this is the song, the song.

This reminds me of my bro this song! He passed away November 22nd....miss him so much! He was called William Reid too coincidentally! Lol.. Playing this song always makes me feel he is still about! R.I.P. Bro!❤️

Hi Jolly. You've shared about your brother and I'll think of him this November 22. Peace and love and rock and roll to you.

Thanks for sharing mate. Beautiful to hear how special and strong music can be. Peace and Love to you.

Know where you’re coming from. Some songs evoke a special emotion which we reserve for our nearest and dearest. Glad you’ve found yours.

best drug song

SEX::::: CANDY

The band deny the song is about drugs. I remain skeptical, but regardless it's an awesome song.

@Declan Forrest "The damp and hungry place" . I wonder what he's talking about;)

​@johnmodel500 I have no idea how people can interpret this as a song about heroin. This is obviously about , forgive my French, pussy if you pay attention to the lyrics. Same goes for Just Like Honey.

God, I want stuff!
