Three Boats Down From The Candy Lyrics - Marillion

Three boats down from the candy, vacant deckchairs on a floodlit beach 

Three boats down from the candy, rollers coast invade the deepest sleep 

Three boats down from the candy, carnal dancer let their senses preach 

It's a social disease, it's the new moral cancer 

Don't think crying wolf will give you the answer 

You ask for my love on the strength of a kiss 

But can't you just play for experience? 

I'm a poet, I'm a poet, I'm a minstrel, I'm a minstrel 

I don't need your chains 

Romance lies in ruin let debauchery reign, let it rain 

Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe the sweat from your thighs 

Don't crawl to me with sentiment, my laughter drowns your cries 

You're a memory trapped on Polaroid, a puppet drawn on celluloid 

So drink the wine, confess your sin, just flotsam in a silent void 

Three boats down from the candy 

I'll remember you 

Three boats down from the candy, much to much to lose 

Three boats down from the candy, those words were never true 

Three boats down from the candy 

I'll remember you 

I'll remember you 

I'll remember you
