Pink Floyd – Candy and a Currant Bun

  General Comment:I know that in this case, "fuck" is used to mean "copulate," but it just occurred to me that the song's even more interesting when you interpret "fuck with" to mean "mess with, tease." As in, "I know you're not going to talk to me, you're just going to tease me and lead me on and drive me crazy."
  
  Eh. I'm tired, so take this with several grains of salt.

  General Comment:The funny thing is that, if I remember right, the "Let's Roll Another One" version had "please just walk with me" instead of "please just fuck with me". So they got rid of some drug references, but added in an even more blatant sex reference. And apparently successfully slipped it by.

    Exactly. Very Sydlike. "I'll teach you to try to censor my drug-addled genius! Bwahahaha!"

  General Comment:inpraiseoffolly, you can get it on 'The Early Singles', which was a disc in the 'Shine On' Pink Floyd box set. Or I'll send it to you if you give me your email :]

  General Comment:shakeymango, your friend is right, they wanted to name this song "lets roll another one" but they couldnt because the meaning was to obvious that is was about pot smoking. so the BBC told them they had to change the title and lyrics. it was on the B-side of the arnold layne single and had lyrics like"tastes right if you eat it right"

  General Comment:I got the song, and it's my least favorite on the Early Singles album. It is the worst of Syd Barrett's songs with Pink Floyd.
