Sweet Sixteen - Live in Odense
Alright lovely, let's take it downs, Joe thank you
Alright this not song, it really does-
(I love you) oh, I love me too, thlere's two of us
I'd like to thank you Livia, I love you, thank you, just joking
Alright this next song, it really does have a story that goes along with it
It's about a guy called Ed, who came all the way from Latvia
After he was horribly jilted and left at the altar by his sweetheart
Yeah, and he came down to Homestead, in Florida, in the United States
He started to build this gigantic place
He called it the Coral Castle, it was made out of huge slabs of granite
Yeah, there's like a big moon for rockin' chair
There's a one-ton slab that stands on its own axis
It revolves, you can push it with one finger, it becomes a doorway
A portal into the Coral Castle
Anyway I thought it was all rather romantic
So I took a guided tour, 'cause Ed used to give guided tours for about 25 cents
And halfway around, being English, I just had to ask
Hey Ed, w-what the fuck you build this place for? Come on, uh
He look me right in the eye, he said, "It's for my sweet sixteen"
Gave my heart an engagement ring
She left everything
Everything I gave her
Oh, sweet sixteen
A rocket moom for a rocking chair
I never guessed it could rock her far from here
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house and housed her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house and housed her in
Said, "I'd do anything"
For my sweet sixteen
Said, "I'd do anything"
For that runaway child
See a memories can burn you
A memories get's old as people can
They just get older
Cry sweet sixteen
I know, I see it's clear
My, baby, that you are all through here
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house and housed her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built my candy girl, Julian
Said, "I'd do anything"
For my sweet sixteen
Said, "I'd do anything"
For that runaway child
That same, sad and lonely and blue
Gettin' over you
How, how do you think it feels?
To get up in the morning, work over you
To get up in the morning, work
I hsd to get up in the morning, and work over you
I get my leg over, leg over
Sweet sixteen
My, runaway child
Oh, sweet sixteen
My runaway girl
I gave my heart an engagement ring
And she took everything
Everything I gave her
Sweet sixteen
Like a moon for a rocking chair
I never guessed it would rock her far from here
Oh, oh, ooh
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house and housed her in
Someone's built a candy castle
For my sweet sixteen
Someone's built a candy house and housed her in
Said, "I'd do anything"
For my sweet sixteen
Said, "I'd do anything"
For that runaway child
Do anything
Oh, sweet sixteen
Oh, sweet sixteen
