Jackie Cane
Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn't harden
Jackie cane was everybody's sugar
She'd melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour

Jackie Cana
Jackie cana era um doce com todos
Ela dava tudo o que levava a qualquer lugar
Eles a usaram antes do seu prazo de validade
Ser tão doce era seu único erro
A única flor num jardim de concreto
Destinada a ser a pedra que nunca endureceria.
Jackie cana era um doce com todos
Ela se derreteria, se ela pudesse
Tida como certa
Abusaram-na e a drenaram
Esgotada, eles correram dela e
Então, nunca mais choveu
Ela era a rainha
Das 25 horas
Eles pareciam ser tão doces
Mas depois o gosto foi amargo
