Antony And The Johnsons - Candy Says Lyrics






Candy says
I've come to hate my body
And all that it requires
In this world

Candy says
I'd like to know completely
What others so discretely
Talk about

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

Candy says
I hate the quiet places
That cause the smallest taste
Of what will be

Candy says
I hate the big decisions
That cause endless revisions
In my mind

I'm gonna watch the blue birds fly
Over my shoulder
I'm gonna watch them pass me by
Maybe when I'm older

What do you think I'd see
If I could walk away from me

  1. J.... B....

    none of you people below understand Antony

  2. C.... G....

    Fucking awful. A travesty. This isn't what the song was about at all.

  3. A.... C....

    adore her ... please do !!!!

  4. K.... B....

  8. A.... S....

    I didn't know he was a trans woman. Now this interpretation has so much more sense. Love her, I really do.

    A.... S....

    @***** Where did you get that from? Maybe you should know what the song is about, "Candy Darling"... the meaning + the interpretation are a perfect match.

    A.... S....

    why are you misgendering her when you know that she is a transwomen?

    A.... S....

    He says her at the end of the post, innocent mistake, and he obviously is supportive of her. Over PCing these issues drives peopl on the fence away. Why criticize someone who is clearly exercising tolerance.

    A.... S....

    does it matter at all?

    A.... S....

    Gender doesn't matter here.

  9. G.... J....

    s.... s....

    Alison Moyet

  15. w.... ....

    So you brag about studying literature for four years and the next comment you feel the need to insult a great artist in way that shows no proof of that.
    But then, I'm Dutch and I'm likely to miss the delicate subtleties only native speakers will notice.

  16. A.... B....

    Incredible.

  17. H.... B....

    So very, very pretty!

  18. H.... H....

    way to be sensitive, "sensitivetony"

    your description says it all

  20. m.... g....

    i'm in love.

  21. T.... ....

    @sensitivetony get a life moron..

  22. s.... ....

    s.... ....

    sensitivetony SHUT UP YOU OLD UGLY SHIT. YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO DISRESPECT HER AT ANY TIME. SHE HAS DONE MORE SHIT THEN YOUR WHOLE ENTIRE FAMILY. I WOULDNT BE TALKING IF I WERE YOU.

    s.... ....

    Cielo Carrillo arent you kinda being hypocritical..

  23. s.... ....

    The most self indulgent, whiny, adolesently gimmicy, over stylised, hypo-sentimental, emo-on-crack, singer I have ever heard. The antidote to this ball-shrinking sound is Aerosmith.

    s.... ....

    sensitivetony Aerosmith is your definition of masculinity?

    s.... ....

    hahahahaha

    s.... ....

    Ok pleb
