Bm Bm E A x2

F#m                              E
Inside every teenage girl thereʼs a fountain
F#m                              E
Inside every young pair of pants thereʼs a mountain
Bm                                E          A   F#m
Inside every motherʼs eyes is Tommy Tinkremʼs bed
Bm                               E      A   F#m   E E
Inside every candidate waits a grateful dead
Bm                           F#          A            A
I make it a thing, when Iʼm on my own to relieve myself
Bm                            F#                     A      A
I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself
Bm                            F#                           E  E
I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased
with myself
A                             F#
Yeah, and pretend Iʼm walking home

Bm Bm E A x2

I took it so bad, I sat in the correction room
Took me a fag, and a kick in the moon
Well, I ainʼt gonna suck no radar wing
Because inside this tin is tin
Would you like to techno-plate ʼcause Iʼm your candidate, oh yeah

Itʼs a matter of life
And the way you walk, youʼve got a BrylCream queen
Itʼs a matter of tact
In the things you talk, that keeps his passport clean
A matter of fact
That a cock ainʼt a cock on a twelve inch screen
So Iʼll pretend Iʼm walking home

You donʼt have to scream a lot to keep an age in tune
You donʼt have to scream a lot to predict monsoons
You donʼt have to paint my contact black
Now Iʼve hustled a pair of jeans
Do I have to give your money back when Iʼm the Fuhrerling?

Iʼll make you a deal
Iʼll say I came from Earth and my tongue is taped
Iʼll make you a deal
You can get your kicks on the candidate
Iʼll make you a deal
For your futureʼs sake, Iʼm the candidate
Lets pretend weʼre walking home

Uh-huh, uhhh
Iʼm the candidate
Make way for the candidate
Vote now for the candidate
