Confectionery is the set of food items that are rich in sugar and often referred to as a confection. Modern usage may include substances rich in artificial sweeteners as well. The word candy (North America), sweets (UK and Ireland) and lollies (Australia and New Zealand) are also used for the extensive variety of confectionery.
Generally speaking, confections are somewhat low in micronutrients but rich in calories. Specially formulated chocolate has been manufactured in the past for military use as a high density food energy source.
Confectioneries are defined by the presence of sweeteners, usually sugars. Most common is the disaccharide sucrose. Hydrolysis of sucrose gives a mixture called invert sugar, which is sweeter and is also a common ingredient. Finally confectioneries, especially commercial ones, are sweetened by a variety of syrups obtained by hydrolysis of starch, these include corn syrup.
Different dialects of English use regional terms for confections:
Confectionery items include sweets, lollipops, candy bars, chocolate, candy floss, and other sweet items of snack food. The term does not generally apply to cakes, biscuits, or puddings which require cutlery to consume, although exceptions such as petit fours or meringues exist. Speakers of American English do not refer to these items as "candy".

Green shadow
Want to wait all o- all over me
The end will shelter me away from me
Can we meet again
Meet and meet and meet and meet again
Can you fill the can
If you can feel me
Who you followin'?
Who you starting to move like?
Who you falling for?
Who you falling for?
Whose lies?
Who you followin'?
Who you falling for?
This sound's on your side!
Secret blue, purple, pink and green right over it
Hold on 'cause the coldest hasn't thawed yet
Well, if we meet again
Meet and meet and meet and meet again
Can you catch the can, if you can fill it
How will you want something to hit with
Again and again and again and again
What's your crime?
What's your crime?
Well how will you want
How will she sit
What's been and again and again and again and again?
What's your crime?
What's your, what's your, what's your, what's your, what's your crime, crime, crime.
Little Magdalene, we all know about the places that you've been
You think you're hidden there but everyone has seen
They can see you now you're out in the rain
It's five a.m. and you're on some corner again
Soaking wet and there's no taxi with your name, you say
"I take sweets from strangers
You got a car then let's take a ride
Wanna see some places, gotta make some changes
Gotta do some living tonight, I'm not shy"
Never unseen, ventured out into the great in between
Eucalyptus and the burnt gasoline
On dusty nowhere roads you hitch yourself a ride
With a burnt-down man, who's eyes are still wide
All that you can talk about is suicide, you say
"I take sweets from strangers
You got a car then let's take a ride
Wanna see some places, gotta make some changes
Gotta do some living tonight, I'm not shy"
"I take sweets from strangers
You got a car then let's take a ride
Wanna see some places, gotta make some changes
Gotta do some living tonight, I'm not shy"
