Taste of Cindy Lyrics
Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Til she's had her fun
She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun
Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day
And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Til she's had her fun
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

This song is not about drugs. He is singing about a girl.
He really likes this girl, and sleeps with her. She then leaves, and she is off seeing other guys.
Crack of dawn Cindy's movin' on Talking Cindy to everyone Til she's had her fun
She is a slut and not interested in being monogamous with the singer. This really hurts him because he really likes her. It hurts him that she won't be exclusive with him, but he likes her too much to just end it.
She has me We twist the sun and sea Still she's talking to everyone Cindy's had her fun
Though I've heard it before Still I need you more and more But I just can't get away Cindy kills me every day
He thinks she is really sweet and it kills him that she could go sleep with other guys between hooking up with him. He tries his best to win her heart but is failing. She just looks through him to other guys. She wants to keep hooking up with the singer and seeing other guys at the same time. This causes his feelings for her to be painful, like a knife in his head.
And I tried and I tried But you looked right through me Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly Knife in my head when I think of Cindy Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy
Honestly, this is a really relatable song for me because my ex did this to me whenever we broke up, and I tried to to get her back. Most of the songs off Psychocandy are about a girl who hurt the singer. The drug songs came later (when they could actually afford to abuse them).
Psychocandy was the soundtrack of my life, a very important album of mine.
Taste of Cindy is one of my favorite JAMC songs. I have always thought it was about LSD, at least the way I interpreted it. Back when this was released, I played this over and over when I would dose. I still do, to this timeless classic JAMC tune!
Another great tune from the Mary Chain although the lyrics don't have any significant depth the use of the name Cindy is a direct reference to the stable of girls names which litter the Lou Reeds songbook; Candy, Stephanie, Lisa etc.
I can't decide which version of this song I like better. The original version has a certain punch which I find appealing, however, the version found on Barbed Wire Kisses is a wonderfully haunting piece of accustic guitar work and quite appealing in itself.
Heh, "crack of dawn".
cindy is speed.
It really is hard to say which version of the song is best. The live versions are great too.
And I agree, Cindy is definitely a speed metaphor.
