The album Psychocandy makes several references to cocaine, including the name of the album itself (\"candy\" being slang for cocaine). The line, \"walking back to you is the hardest thing that I could do\" implies addiction.\n\nAs the leadoff track and third single off Jesus and Mary Chain's debut album, Psychocandy, this song was the band's first big hit, peaking at #45 on the British charts, and was on their setlist when the band first performed on the televised UK music show The Tube in 1985.\n\nThe drum intro is quite famous; it was borrowed from \"Be My Baby,\" a 1963 hit by The Ronettes. The intro was originally played by Hal Blaine. https://tinyurl.com/yytjewvc", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
