CANDY AND A CURRANT BUN

CANDY AND A CURRANT BUN


The B-side to "Arnold Layne" was recorded at the same session along with an early version of "Interstellar Overdrive". Originally titled "Let's Roll Another One" the lyrics were changed due to the obvious drug inferences. Waters commenting on the BBC's attitude towards the track, recalled "They didn't like that at all. Very under the arm." The song dates back to the Floyd's Free School repertoire.


Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
lay back......

Oooh, don't talk to me
Please, just walk with me
Please, you know I'm feeling frail

It's true, sun shining very bright
It's you, I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, tastes good in the afternoon
Ice cream, tastes good if you eat it soon

Oooh, don't touch me child
Please you know you drive me wild
Please you know I'm feeling frail

Don't try another cat
Don't go where other
you must know why
I'm very very very frail

Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Lay back......
