It's a rainy afternoon
In 1990
The big city geez it's been 20 years-
Candy-you were so fine
Beautiful beautiful
Girl from the north
You burned my heart
With a flickering torch
I had a dream that no one else could see
You gave me love for free
Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
Candy baby [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/i/iggy_pop/candy.html ]
Yeah, well it hurt me real bad when you left
I'm glad you got out
But I miss you
I've had a hole in my heart
For so long
I've learned to fake it and
Just smile along
Down on the street
Those men are all the same
I need a love
Not games
Not games
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so
Candy, candy , candy I can't let you go
Life is crazy
I know baby
Candy baby
Uou uou uou
Candy, candy, candy I can't let you go
All my life you're haunting me
I loved you so
I think it's pretty simple. It's in the lyrics... No reading between the lines. It is not about candy darling (they never even dated) and according to kate's lyrics the "girl from the north" is an actual girl, not a drug. I think it's silly when people make things up to sound like deep thinkers.
