Candyman[John Peel 10/2/81]

- Siouxsie And The Banshees

Sickly sweet his poison seeks

For the young ones who don't understand the danger in his hands

With a jaundiced wink see his cunning slink

Oh trust in me my pretty one come walk with me my helpless one

Candyman

Syrup lies upon your tongue

Gelatine saliva spills the flash of a guillotine a smile

Candyman

Oh candyman

No pity for him their misery screams unspeakable things

No pity for him their misery screams unspeakable things

Candyman

A cool missile yes it's in his smile

With open arms to welcome you beware the masked pretender

He always lies this candyman

Those lips conspire in treachery to strike in cloak and dagger see

Candyman

Oh candyman

And all the children he warns don't tell those threats are sold

With their guilt and shame they think they're to blame for candyman

Candyman

Candyman

Candyman
