You Want the Candy

The Raveonettes are a Danish indie rock duo, consisting of Sune Rose Wagner (born 1973, Sønderborg, Denmark) on guitar, instruments, and vocals, and Sharin Foo (born 12 December 1979, Emmelev, Denmark) on bass, guitar and vocals. Their music is characterized by close two-part vocal harmonies inspired by The Everly Brothers coupled with hard-edged electric guitar overlaid with liberal doses of noise, very similar to The Jesus and Mary Chain. Their songs juxtapose the structural and chordal simplicity of '50s and '60s rock with intense electric instrumentation, driving beats, and often dark lyrical content (e.g., crime, drugs, murder, suicide, love, lust, and betrayal), similar to another of the band's influences, The Velvet Underground. more »

[Chorus]
I know that you want the candy [Repeat x4]
Gimme candy I've never had
Tastes so sweet makes good love bad

Sweet sweet lips
The taste of you tonight
Turn me on
Strangers in delight
Sugar done melt the day
The dark comes bittersweet
Black lollipops
Come on gimme a dirty treat

[Chorus]

Fallen out with my love
A grievous time to pass
Sugar done break my heart
A heart not meant to last
In spite of saddened days
I hooked myself on you
But all my troubled ways
Still walked with me boo hoo

[Chorus]

Gimme some C to kill
Gimme some C to tease
Gimme some C so I can wrap
Myself in you
Oh please

But everything came around
Candy done taste sweet
Made me think what I found
An expired love treat
I gave myself to you
I wanted nothing back
I plowed my way through hell
For a sweet sweet love attack

[Chorus]
