Jackie Cane - Hooverphonic

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 have

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

Salty days

For Jackie Cane

Salty days

For Jackie Cane

Salty days

For Jackie Cane
