Candidate Lyrics by Johnny Marr

Spirit Power: The Best of Johnny Marr (Deluxe Edition)

2014

[Verse 1]
Big screen, real life, be a part of the story
Get free, it's time, be a candidate
The things that you wanna say
They disappear into fear and they're gone then
Mystery always hides in your eyes
Mystery's always found in your eyes

[Chorus]
Now the moment's come
And the story goes on
When you're feeling young, oh
And you just want fun
Get in the picture, come on
Now turn the future on us

[Verse 2]
Get free, it's time to be somebody's story
Be free, it's time, be a candidate
Pictures don't only fade
They reappear into view if you want them
Visions, they always flashed in your eyes

[Chorus]
And the moment's come
Just let the story go on
And the future return, oh
Now you just want fun
Get in the picture, belong
And you think so young, oh

[Instrumental Bridge]

[Chorus]
Let the feeling come
Get in the story, come on
Now turn the future on us
