I was perched outside in the pouring rain
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 found 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 there´re 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

Paolo Nutini - Candy

Very clever bird box modelled to look like a CCTV camera – nice sense of humour indeed. Joking apart, I’d imagine that it may make intruders think twice before coming over the fence into your garden!

German language website has all the details – anyone know if these are available in the UK? I’d have one, I can just picture the place I’d put it at home.

Cool adidas marketing…

Their finest moment so far?

My girl, seeks an ocean of trust,
It takes an effort it does.
My girl, it takes an ocean of trust,
Its in a kingdom of rust.

The Doves – Kingdom of Rust (2009)
