Cm Cm F7 A# x2

Gm                              F7
Inside every teenage girl thereʼs a fountain
Gm                              F7
Inside every young pair of pants thereʼs a mountain
Cm                                F7          A#   Gm
Inside every motherʼs eyes is Tommy Tinkremʼs bed
Cm                               F7      A#   Gm   F7 F7
Inside every candidate waits a grateful dead
Cm                           G          A#            A#
I make it a thing, when Iʼm on my own to relieve myself
Cm                            G                     A#      A#
I make it a thing, when I gazelle on stage to believe in myself
Cm                            G                           F7  F7
I make it a thing, to glance in window panes and look pleased
with myself
A#                             G
Yeah, and pretend Iʼm walking home

Cm Cm F7 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
