Lyrics

CANDY STORE

Monday morning, rulers of the universe of access
Putting, calling, betting on the open lines of madness
Winning losing running blind
We can do no wrong
Raiding, trading, fade away
Always going long

(chorus)
Pushing the quarter's bottom line
Pleasing the chairman more
Fighting compulsions, convulsions, expulsions
While sampling the candy store whore

Credit swapping, derivitivitating night and day
Basking, tasking, way too big to fail and lose our way
Floating, crashing, charging bull
Credit malfunctions
Bonfire of the vanities
Dissing dysfunction

(chorus)
Pushing the quarter's bottom line
Pleasing the chairman more
Fighting compulsions, convulsions, expulsions
While sampling the candy store whore

Monday morning, rulers of the universe of access
Putting, calling, betting on the open lines of madness
Winning losing running blind
We can do no wrong
Raiding, trading, fade away
Always going long

(chorus)
Pushing the quarter's bottom line
Pleasing the chairman more
Fighting compulsions, convulsions, expulsions
While sampling the candy store whore

Monday morning, rulers of the universe of access
Putting, calling, betting on the open lines of madness
Monday morning, rulers of the universe of access
Putting, calling, betting on the open lines of madness

Excellent vocals and harmonies. Fun song. Very solid/professional instrumentation as well with interesting lyrics.

Now THAT was beautiful. Lot's to like here. Great precision and smooth vibe. Liked the vocal tone a lot, with the crisp phrasing and modulation. Also liked the way the vocal had an eerily beautiful resonance with the instrumentation in some parts, and fit with the sonic detail in very cool ways in other sections. Great drumming. Liked those ascending vocals tremendously at 1:37 and 2:30. And that section after 1:43 -- I wanted to stand up and cheer!

Really interesting track really love the feel and dynamics going on here. I really like how it changes and gets heavier as it progresses, and then returns to the original theme at the end.

good song. I can feel a cross between the police and the beatles.
