(Mark Hollis)

This sure is some kind of party

It's so useful

Surround my life with excuses

For what I choose to lose

And my name

Doesn't look the same to me now now

No no not me now

And inside

Don't you know I feel so bad?

When I tried to turn away

T

o feel new again

Candy

My emotion cost me pain

Did I look the same?

Candy

When I think about the times

That I laughed away

Candy

The idea you'd cheat me

But look again

What you say

'That's my name'

And I hope that I've kept you amused

To wipe that spit right off my boots

And when I'm home and thinking in the dark

I hope I hope I hope

That none of this has had to go too far

When it gets too late

To see me any other way

And it gets so hard to hold on

To everything that I want so bad yeah yeah

Candy

When I tried to turn away

To feel new again

Candy

My emotion cost me pain

Did I look the same?

Candy

When I think about the times

That I laughed away

Candy

The idea you'd cheat me

But look again

What you say

'That's my name'
