(lyrics: derek dick)<br><br>Three boats down from the candy, vacant deckchairs on a floodlit beach<br>Three boats down from the candy, rollers coast invade the deepest sleep<br>Three boats down from the candy, carnal dancer let their senses preach<br><br>It's a social disease, it's the new moral cancer<br>Don't think crying wolf will give you the answer<br><br>You ask for my love on the strength of a kiss<br>But can't you just play for experience? <br>I'm a poet, I'm a poet, I'm a minstrel, I'm a minstrel<br>I don't need your chains<br>Romance lies in ruin let debauchery reign, let it rain<br><br>Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe the sweat from your thighs<br>Don't crawl to me with sentiment, my laughter drowns your cries<br>You're a memory trapped on polaroid, a puppet drawn on celluloid<br>So drink the wine, confess your sin, just flotsam in a silent void<br><br>Three boats down from the candy<br>I'll remember you<br>Three boats down from the candy, much to much to lose<br>Three boats down from the candy, those words were never true<br>Three boats down from the candy<br>I'll remember you<br>I'll remember you<br>I'll remember you
