lyrics

(hoy! hoy!)

Ten years of weddings and I know the exact minute
When a room decides it is going to be a good night
It is never the first song, it is always the fourth
(the fourth, the fourth)
Get the fourth song wrong and everybody goes home

The bride's father requests a song
(requests a song)
I play it. I always play it. That is the job.

Kandy lights, Kandy lights
Everybody dancing and nobody knows my name
Kandy lights, Kandy lights
And that is exactly how I like it

I have sung at four weddings for the same family
Different couples, same hall, same uncle falling over
He requests the same song and I play it every time
(every time)
He thinks it is his song. It is. That is a gift I give.

Two in the morning. The hall is empty.
I drive home and I do not play music in the car.
(BRASS RETURNS, BRIGHT AND FAST)

Kandy lights, Kandy lights
Everybody dancing and nobody knows my name
Kandy lights, Kandy lights
And that is exactly how I like it

(Kandy lights...)
