    this is the perfect example of this album as a whole: the sad lonely guy who acts like a shitty dude because he thinks it makes him look cool, when in reality he's just crying out for love and affection. This is how Alex Cameron make characters like these feel like real people with real flaws, and then makes you feel real empathy for them. Love it

      hey, that's me but I kind of replaced negative attention with love and affection.

      Thats so awesome. I once saw Alex do Billy Idols 'Hot In The City' live. It was just before the first record came out, and it was just him and a shitty keyboard in a park in Sydney.

    Discovering Jumping The Shark last year was truly one of the greatest discoveries I've made to date, and Alex Cameron is amongst the most electrifying and mesmerising characters in music right now. I cannot begin to describe how excited I am for this new record. It's going to soundtrack my winter discontent. All love to you Alex

      I was him at Primavera in Barcelona a few months ago. I was pleasantly surprise with how entertaining and good he is live, easily surpassed my expectations. If you are a fan then I'd highly recommend catching him live, it gave me a new appreciation for 'Jump The Shark' and got me excited for the new album.

    • @curtisdoyle7908
      @curtisdoyle7908 7 лет назад +3

    Candy May, I think I'm dying
    Yeah, 'cause I'm frail and I'm tired
    And I constantly complain about the pain I'm in
    But Candy May, she knows me better, yes, she knows my ways
    She has seen me naked, she knows I'm packing heat
    She has a way of saying "baby, come to me" complete
    She's my sweet sweet Candy May
    Got me stuck and I want to stay
    But I never wanted to look shocked
    Down the barrel of a broken heart
    So I live with a deep regret
    Of all I do on the internet
    And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
    She's a brown on her doily frills
    She loves me still
    Sweetest eyes, so dark and shining
    They see a shadow in their vision
    Then it fades and then it dies, sweetest eyes
    But Candy May, don't think I'm lying
    I got a flavor in my mouth, it never truly goes away
    That's Candy May
    So when you see me and Candy May
    And we're walking down the street at a mean pace
    And she is crying out "You f'n lonely man
    "You worthless piece of shit
    You all wouldn't understand"
    'Cause Candy May, I know she loves me in her own true way
    You call it as you see it, you think you know the score
    But you just never had a girl like Candy May before
    She's my sweet sweet Candy May
    Got me stuck and I want to stay
    But I never wanted to look shocked
    Down the barrel of a broken heart
    So I live with a deep regret
    Of all I do on the internet
    And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
    She's a brown on her doily frills
    She's my sweet sweet Candy May
    Got me stuck and I want to stay
    But I never wanted to look shocked
    Down the barrel of a broken heart
    So I live with a deep regret
    Of all I do on the internet
    And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
    She's a brown on her doll with frills
    She's my sweet sweet Candy May
    Got me stuck and I want to stay
    But I never wanted to look shocked
    Down the barrel of a broken heart
    So I live with a deep regret
    Of all I do on the internet
    And I'm filled with a dirty white guilt
    She's a brown on her doily frills
    She loves me still
