What are you fighting for
It ain't nothing you ain't had before
It ain't nothing, you ain't felt before
And still you cry
Is there nothing new
Is there nothing to inspire you
So you found that all your dreams came true
And still you cry
Time is around now
Can't you get back what your blossom had
Can't you round up all those memories
And tell them to breathe
There is a future coming up behind
And I can feel it but I don't know where it's coming from
And I can hold it but I
I cannot see its face
And time is out of my hand

That's a Liquorice Allsort - which may be what you mean by a Bertie Bassett?
A strip of liquorice sandwiched between two pieces of coconutty stuff

White Castle Slider is what came to my mind as well.  
Take the top off and look for the holes in the burger.

But the burger looks to thick for a slider. 
Barely more bun than burger.



You made me crave a White Castle!  The closest one is 50 miles from  me!

Wow...very classic sounding...like from the 60s movie scene maybe?  Before my  time (Gen X) but definitely referencing something like Burt Bacharach and Valley of the dolls?

I thought this was Nick Cave and it makes me dislike it.  I loathe the sound of Nick Cave's voice.

You know when you can’t see the obvious then some one says something like “Very Nick Cave ish” and then you can't see how you had missed it.

Interesting. Every time I hear this on RP I stop what I'm doing to come see who/what. Yet I've not rated it. I love the melody, but not sure what to make of the voice. A tentative 7 from the Moose Marsh.

I will say that Bill's transition to The Cinematic Orchestra's To Build a Home was sublime.  Way to go dude.
