Letra de Syd Barret
Produtor Joe Boyd
"Candy and a Currant Bun" foi o lado B do primeiro Single dos Pink Floyd, Arnold Layne. When performed live in 1967, the song was known as "Let's Roll Another One" and contained the line "I'm high - Don't try to spoil my fun", but the record company forced Syd Barrett to rewrite it without the controversial drug references. It features the first released Waters scream, which would reappear in Careful with that Axe, Eugene, Run Like Hell and others.
LETRA - Lyrics
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......
Oooh, don't talk to me
Please just fuck with me
Please you know I'm feeling frail
It's true, sun shining very bright
It's you, who I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream, taste good in the afternoon
Ice cream, taste 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
Very very very frail
Oh my, girl sitting in the sun
Go buy, candy and a currant bun
I like, to see you run
Like that......
Let's Roll Another One
Oh my a girl sitting in the sun
Go buy a candy and a currant bun
I'm high! Don't try to spoil my fun
Don't cry we'll roll another one
Ooh don't touch me child
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Ooh don't talk to me
Please, just walk with me
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
It's true sun's shining very bright
It's you I'm gonna love tonight
Ice cream tastes good if you eat it right
Ice cream tastes good if you treat it right
Ooh don't talk to me
Please, you know you drive me wild
Please, you know I'm feeling frail
Oh my a girl sitting in the sun
Go buy a candy and a currant bun
I'm high don't try to spoil the fun
Go cry or I'll have another one
