Candlebox is a rock band from Seattle, Washington. Formed in December 1991, they originally named the band Uncle Duke and later changed it as a tribute to a song by Midnight Oil. They were sometimes looked down upon by grunge fans for their style, which was considered by many to be a derivative version of true grunge, and their commercial success as result of it. Despite this, the band played the Seattle club circuit during the early 1990s to the many of the same fans who had supported many of the bands that had come immediately before them. The members did not consider Candlebox to be a grunge band however; they viewed themselves as a rock and roll band more than anything and their style reflected that.

Steel And Glass Lyrics
Candlebox
By john lennon
There you stand
With your l.a. tan
And your new york walk
And your new york talk
Your mother left you when you were small
But you're gonna wish
You wasn't born at all
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Your phone don't ring
No one answers your call
How does it feel to be off the wall
Your mouthpiece squawks as he spreads
Your lies
But you can't pull strings if your hands
Are tied
Your teeth are clean but your mind
Is capped
You leave your smell like and alley cat
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
There you stand with
Your toilet scent
And your mickey duck
And your donald fuck
Your daddy left when you were small
But you're gonna wish
You wasn't born at all
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
Steel and glass
