Candidate Lyrics by Al Stewart

Al Stewart - Candidate

Inside the lonely building
Sits the candidate
His speech is typed and ready
The hundred-dollar plates
Sit on deserted tables
Beneath fluorescent light
But no one comes to hear him
No cheers disturb the night
So where are all the voters?
Where the voter's wives?
They've all gone to the movies
Trying to understand their lives.
The candidate is slipping
Into some dream of old
Not noticing around him
A thousand rubber chickens going cold
Al Stewart - Candidate      Inside the lonely building   Sits the candidate   His speech is typed and ready   The hundred-dollar plates   Sit on deserted tables   Beneath fluorescent light   But no one comes to hear him   No cheers disturb the night   So where are all the voters?   Where the voter's wives?   They've all gone to the movies   Trying to understand their lives.   The candidate is slipping   Into some dream of old   Not noticing around him   A thousand rubber chickens going cold
