The Psychedelic Furs Pretty in Pink

From their 1981 album Talk Talk Talk

Lyrics:

Caroline laughs and
It's raining all day
She loves to be one of the girls
She lives in the place
In the side of our lives
Where nothing is
Ever put straight
She turns herself round
And she smiles and she says
'This is it'

'That's the end of the joke'
And loses herself
In her dreaming and sleep
And her lovers walk
Through in their coats

Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?

All of her lovers
All talk of her notes
And the flowers
That they never sent
And wasn't she easy
And isn't she
Pretty in pink
The one who insists
He was first in the line
Is the last to
Remember her name
He's walking around
In this dress
That she wore
She is gone
But the joke's the same

Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?

Caroline talks to you
Softly sometimes
She says
'I love you' and
'Too much'
She doesn't have anything
You want to steal
Well
Nothing you can touch
She waves
She buttons your shirt
The traffic
Is waiting outside
She hands you this coat
She gives you her clothes
These cars collide

Pretty in pink
Isn't she?
Pretty in pink
Isn't she?

im 15 and i only listen to 80s music. i wish i was born earlier.

My biggest dream is to travel back in time to the '80.s. Never before and never again has/will there been/be a decade as awesome and original. The music, tv shows and movies were wonderful, and I am happy to have the memories. It may be 2011 to everyone else, but in my little world, it's 1981, 2, etc... And it's going to stay that way. Pretty In Pink and Psyc Furs....golden memories....

@shrek740 It was a great era to grow up in.

I was an 80s skate punk and loved the Psych Furs! Richard Butler's voice is Boss!

Look, I was a teenager in the 80s and it was shit. I was broke and everyone was shit scared of AIDS. All the girls stunk of hairspray. Interestingly we all wished we grew up in the 60s.

she is a joke. isn't she a joke. she is pretty in the winter. she is many times a bore. isn't she a joke. isn't she a joke. all of the winters and all of the summers and all of the people have been a joke. this worse than happiness. isn't he just a joke. pretty to see a joke die broke and clown dead crying from pain. yeah yeah.

@Bansheeeyes78 - What time it was... I travel back all the time. This past 2011 summer we got to see the Furs with Tom Tom Club and Devo. We all went back and had the time of our lives.

@Bansheeeyes78 Climb aboard my time machine. It leaves every day at noon for destinies where music is still music and tunes like this blare from supersized jukeboxes all day long and all you do is listen to them and cruise and party like there's no tomorrow...and that machine ain't fuckin' ever returning....
