Candy Store
Liner notes
This was written for the songwriting group -- the prompt was 'sweet shop' and several of us latched onto the phrase. This does not feel like a significant song except that a) it's very catchy and b) it's the first time in 35 years of songwriting I've felt the need to introduce a key change.You roar round the room like a kid in a candy store
Sweet temptations out on display
Eyes like saucers as you work out what you're looking for
Make a decision and be ready to pay
You've got the moves, you've got the money
You've got the sweet-talk and you've got the style
Want a taste of sugar, want a taste of honey
You've been on a diet, man, it's been a while
You roar round the room like a kid in a candy store
Sweet temptations out on display
Eyes like saucers as you work out what you're looking for
Make a decision and be ready to pay
You're in demand, the new hot commodity
Centre of attention, the man of the hour
Purveyor of distinction and quality
Suck it and see before it all turns sour
You roar round the room like a kid in a candy store
Sweet temptations out on display
Eyes like saucers as you work out what you're looking for
Make a decision and be ready to pay
Take your time, size up the offerings
Giant marshmallows and a stick of rock
It's rude to ask about artificial colourings
Cool as a glacier, sleek as a fox
You roar round the room like a kid in a candy store
Sweet temptations out on display
Eyes like saucers as you work out what you're looking for
Make a decision and be ready to pay
Like taking candy from a baby
Belly to fill and a face to stuff
Sugar rush, act like you're crazy
It's all you ever wanted and it isn't enough
You roar round the room like a kid in a candy store
Sweet temptations out on display
Eyes like saucers as you work out what you're looking for
Make a decision and be ready to pay
