[Candida, quoting from
Em
some book]
"I was only about eleven
when this happened.
We were living in a big block of flats
with a central courtyard.
All the bedroom windows
opened onto this court,
And sometimes in the middle
of the night,
In that building it sounded like a mass orgy.
I may have only been eleven,
But no- one had to tell me what all
that moaning and yelling was about.
I'd lie there mesmerised,
listening to the first couple.
Invariably, they'd wake
up other couples,
And like some kind of chain reaction,
Within minutes the whole
building was fucking.

I mean, have you ever heard other people fucking,

G
and really enjoying it?
Em
It's a marvellous sound.
Not like in the movies, but when it's real.
It's such a happy, exciting sound.'
Verse 2
Em
The city is a woman
Bigger than any other
Oh, sophisticated lady
Yeah, I wanna be your lover (not your brother,
not your mother, yeah)
The sun rose from behind
the gasometers at six- thirty a.m.
Crept through the gap in
your curtains
And caressed your bare feet poking from
beneath the floral sheets.
I watched it flaking bits
of varnish from your nails
Trying to work it's way
up under the sheets.
Jesus! Even the sun's
on heat today;
F
The whole city getting
Em
stiff in the building heat.
Verse 3
Em
I just want to make contact with you
Oh that's all I wanna do

Verse 4
Em
Now I'm trying hard to meet her
but the fares went up at seven
F
She is somewhere in the city,
somewhere watching television
Dm
Em
Watching people being stupid,
doing things she can't believe in
F
Love won't last 'til next installment
Ten o' clock on Tuesday evening
Em
The world is going on outside,
the night is gaping open wide
F
The wardrobe and the chest of drawers
are telling her to go outdoors
Em
He should have been here by this time,
he said that he'd be here by nine
F
That guy is such a prick sometimes,
Em
I don't know why you bother, really.
Verse 5
Em
F
Oh babe oh I'm sorry
Em
But I had to make love to every crack in
the pavement and the shop doorways
F
And the puddles of rain that reflected
Em
your face in my eyes.
Verse 6
Em
The day didn't go too well.
Too many chocolates and cigarettes.
I kept thinking of you and almost
walking into lamp- posts.
Why's it so hot (Peace garden!)
The air coming up to the boil; rubbing up against
walls and lamp- posts trying to get rid of it.
Old women clack their tongues in the shade
of crumbling concrete bus shelters.
Dogs doing it in central reservations and causing
multiple pile- ups in the centre of town.
I didn't want to come
here in the first place
But I've been sentenced to three years
in the Housing Benefit waiting room.
I must have lost your number
in the all- night garage
And now I'm wandering up and down your street,
calling you name, in the rain
Whilst my shoes turn to sodden
cardboard.
[Jarvis:] Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you?

[Jarvis:] Where are you?
[Candida:] (I'm here!)
[Jarvis:] Where are you?

Verse 7
Em
I'm still trying hard to meet you,
but it doesn't look like happening
F
'cause the city's out to get me if I
won't sleep with her this evening
Dm
Em
Though her buildings are impressive and
her cul- de- sac's amazing
F
She's had too many lovers and I
know you're out there waiting
Em
And now she's getting into bed he's
had his chance now it's too late
F
The carpet's screaming for her soul,
the darkness wants to eat her whole
Em
Tonight must be the night it ends
Tomorrow she will call her friends and
F
go out on her own somewhere
Who needs this shit anyway?

F
And listen, I wandered the streets the whole night crying,

trying to pick up your scent
Writing messages on walls and the puddles

We finally made it on a hill-

The whole city is your jewellery- box; a

million twinkling yellow street lights.
G
Em
Reach out and take what you want,
you can have it all.
Gee it's so hot tonight!
I didn't think we were gonna make it.
It was so bad during the day,
but now I'm snug
Verse 9
And warm under an eiderdown sky.
Em
All the things we saw:
A
Em
Everyone on Park Hill came in
G
Em
unison at 4.13 AM,
And the whole block fell
down.
The tobacconist caught fire,
and everyone in the street died of lung cancer.
The grunts from the T- reg Chevette; you bet,
you bet, yeah, you bet. Mmmmm, yeah.
Verse 10
Em
All I wanna do is make contact with you. Tomorrow,
