All our money went on this in the jukebox in a pub in islington '86. Memories. Still sounds great.

it don't understand how this song can be so beautiful... it's like from another world

[TheCDS4444]

This song to me was always an allegory for being young and picking up people in bars... But expecting more than a one night stand and subsequently getting your heart broken. Yeah, the allegory most go with for this song is drug related... But "candy talking" could be code for the slimy and sleazy "hooking up" that goes on among the young and wanton. Am I right?

[ayrblu]

All hail to the chain

@javierdiaz72 As i hammer this out using A , E. D and G chords, i am reminded of how little i actually sound like the chain. And how bored they look as they effortlessly complete a masterpeice

[shuchr]

a great band from east kilbride in scotland

[javierdiaz72]

Great!! A simple and beautiful song. It's amazing what these guys can do using only 3 chords. It sends shivers to my spine at the end of the song.

back in their early days long ago they once played for 15 minutes and when they refused to play an encore the audience went insane and destroyed everything...
