Trying to make myself a sail
Then I'll float to you my darlin'
With the evening on my tail
Although not the most honest means of travel
It gets me there nonetheless
I'm a heartless man at worst, babe
And a helpless one at best
Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy, before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I'm often false explaining
But to her it plays out all the same
and although I'm left defeated
It get's held against my name
I know you got plenty to offer baby
But I guess I've taken quite enough
Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet
You're my diamond in the rough
Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
before I go
Oh, darling I'll kiss your eyes
And lay you down on your rug
Just give me some candy
After my heart
I know that thereÂŽre writings on the wall
But Darling I'll bathe your skin
I'll even wash your clothes
Just give me some candy
After my heart
Oh I'll be there waiting for you (repeat)
great live performer and his latest album release is superb
Indeed! Here he is singing Robbie Burn's 'A Man's a Man' live at the Barrowlands!


I love almost anything a musician writes and performs. Paolo is a favourite. Except this pos. Bathe your skin? ok. Wash your nickers? Far too degrading. The chick would puke. What next? Blow her nose? It rhymes.
Not degrading for the woman to wash the man's clothes though presumably? How does that work?

his name sounds like good candy!
Completely agree. Please bill and Becca add a couple of tracks from his latest. My top album from last year
Indeed.....'Lose it' is the best rock song I've heard in many years. A classic.

Most women respond to love expressed as an act of service, and washing your lover's clothes (including their underwear) seems to me entirely uncontentious. I sometimes wash my partner's clothes because I love her, and because she washes mine.
Gorgeous.
he really is
I'm pretty sure it's about sex.

I swear to God I hear Burl Ives.
A very young and weedy Burl Ives!
I'm reminded of something most here likely haven't heard: Kurt Weill's "September Song" as sung by Walter Huston in 1938.

To me, this song sounds like he became a coke addict after the death of his wife. I curious what it meant to you.
You say that like it's a bad thing.

Big Clive yes. Nutini no.
Big Clive would like a word.

Stop slamming that lid, lady...
Exactly what I needed.

He's Scottish - Can't go wrong with the Scots. (He's fabulous.)
Big Clive yes. Nutini no.

Any song which wouldn't be used by American Idol gets a bonus point.

Pretty much the same thing you said six years ago. Sorry that you haven't gotten over your issues. It's just a song about lust!
Maybe it is just pathetic.... More so even than your response.
A young Burl.
Today this makes me want to look at my watch and I ain't even wearin' one.

Nice double negative.....multiplying itself infinitely into hate. GR8!
Context please.
Voice and music style make me think of Loudon Wainwright III.
Am I alone in this?
(Sorry if this posts twice -- computer issues.)

Me too :-)
...and so do I!
How?

Now that would be a good idea.
Old eyes & smeared lenses.
It's the vibrato - it makes everything blurry.

This is why I listen to Radio Paradise.
The lyrics are:
"Well I'm some stain there on your bedsheet"

Seriously hot too. So I've been reliably informed.
That sounds nasty, I would get to your doctor as quick as possible.
Apparently this is a song best listened to at low levels... I could not really make out the lyrics just tonal speech and the music. I will have to listen louder and see what everyone is talking about.
Even if he was 80, so what? Older humans are entitled to love making just as much as you are. Too bad that older folks are demonized in this society, but when so much importance and focus is directed to youth and the external, it's no wonder.
Amen
Born in 1987
The tremolo in the voice is purposeful. Also, watching Paolo Nutini's intensity in concert on Austin City Limits, not ick. yum.

You can relax, he's far from 80, but that is a bit of an ageist remark. I hope that everything will still be working fine when I'm 80, and as you age, you may well have a similar hope (for yourself, rather than for me.
Excellent album, well worth a listen.
Some songs are like R.LaM. songs! I must agree!


Italian four generations ago, then third generation Scottish! ;) He is from Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland. His dad was of Italian descent and ran a fish and chip shop. Encouraged early on for his singing talent, Nutini finally moved to London at age 17 and began performing live. Rest is history....

I'm with you. I think it's just a lovely song and I love his voice, accent, phrasing, all of the things the h8ers have flamed about. To each his own — I think it's a bit of a macho man thing. I know lots of men who would absolutely CRINGE to hear these lyrics come out of a self-respecting "man's" mouth. And I mean that in a very non-judgemental way ... just sayin' ...

Whatever. This is an excellent song by an interesting artist. . .

Yep, few self-respecting men admit to being a "stain" on your sheets!
Mosquito's whine is closer to it.

Catchy tune. Good beat (you could dance to it...)
But it reminds me of Adam Sandler.

I'm crazy sensitive songwriter dude! So gimme some candy!
;)
You should remind yourself of your credo (which can be found on 780,000 different pages across the web) more often, because your cute rhetorical flourish is nothing but a personal attack, and a fine example of "making personal judgments on someone you don't even know". But I'll respond to the substance.
When I feel embarrassment on behalf of another person exhibiting cringe-worthy behavior, that is called "empathy", defined as "vicarious experiencing of the feelings, thoughts, or attitudes of another". I imagine that you have experienced it, though perhaps not in this context.
What has Scotland or the Scottish got to do with it? I made no mention of either.
By "complete indecision", I mean a complete absence of decision. Not an oxymoron.
Now I'll admit that "pathetic little whiner" is rather too harsh, and likely what prompted your attack in the first place. Mr. Nutini may be a fine man, and my comment should have been directed at the persona he puts forward in the song rather than him as a person. But I find still that persona and the way it is embodied in the music and voice infuriating and difficult to listen to.

Wow. Um, and ouch. Sorry, folks. I offended, and I really hate doing that. Sometimes my fingers get away from me and type the most unbobly things. I'll try to curb my opinions in the future.
Peace.

Yup

Please make it stop.

of course, this one's more innocent. Wait, what?
