    PRETTY IN PINK
    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 her self 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...
    
    
    
    MR. JONES
    mrs. jones is 17 and 6 and 24
    moderately pretty she is all the girls you know
    we are going far away
    we're going for a ride
    mr. jones has got a plan if you just come inside
    
    so good so far
    slow down ha ha
    move stars and ads
    and radio define romance
    don't turn it on
    i don't want to dance
    
    mr. jones is beautiful
    your eyes are made of glass
    looking through the window you can see the world go past
    here's another 9 o'clock and here's another day
    wonder how the weather is and what the people say
    
    so good so far
    slow down ha ha
    move stars and ads
    and radio define romance
    don't turn it on
    i don't want to dance
    
    mr. jones can turn you on and turn you off again
    mr. jones is all of you who live inside a plan
    put your head upon the pillow, never put it down
    that would only wake you up and turn your head around
    
    so good so far
    slow down ha ha
    move stars and ads
    and radio define romance
    don't turn it on
    i don't want to dance
    
    
    
    NO TEARS
    there's demonstrations
    and demonstrations
    listen to the weathermen
    they're not saying anything
    they're tripping flags for you 
    this crazy face for you
    you don't have a point of view
    you don't have to say you do
    
    no tears, no colours, yeah
    
    there's conversation
    and conversation
    talk about yourself again
    talk about the rain again
    another lie for you
    another point of view
    how can you believe in them?
    don't believe in anything
    
    no colours, no tears, yeah
    
    there's demonstrations
    and demonstrations
    listen to the weathermen
    they're not saying anything
    there's conversation
    and conversation
    talk about yourself again
    talk about the rain again
    
    no tears, no colours, no you now!

    she's making me again
    
    i had to pay the doorman just to let me use the door
    i had to use a muscleman to pick me off the floor

    like romance and engage and divorce
    you have to be crazy to stay in this place
    you just have to laugh at it all
    
    some people are dancing and some fall in love

    like me within a song
    would try and change it all

    into you like a train
    
    
    
    IT GOES ON
    you laugh at her in all the cars
    she's easily confused
    there isn't any wrong or right
    or up and down on you
    there isn't any reason
    there isn't any sense
    nothing else is happening
    this is where you are
    
    it goes on and then it rains
    we run away 
    it goes on again
    
    if you say no just one more time
    he's gonna trash your wife
    he has to have a lie to live
    or something to believe
    he has a god, he calls it you
    he has a highway too
    inside his head these wheels go round
    he says that he loves you 
    
    it goes on and then it goes around again
    it goes on again
    it goes on
    
    it goes on and then it goes around again
    it goes on again
    
    you know this guy that lives downstairs
    there's parties all the time
    where they put on wigs and stuff
    so they can be themselves
    he calls you this
    he calls you that
    you lose your memory
    all this goes on all the time
    so i don't go down there
    
    it goes on and then it rains again
    it goes on again
    it goes on and then it goes around again
    it goes on again
    
    
    
    SO RUN DOWN
    blue cars big beat
    dead on my feet
    i get this heat
    run round lime street
    do this, be there
    i just don't care
    all day day wear
    go home she's there
    
    i don't think that i can stand
    i'm so run down
    she is oh so out of hand
    she's coming down
    
    run down, who cares?
    i'm so happy
    i get some clerk 
    talk talk talk talk
    get up, get down
    this is toy town
    all day day wear
    go home she's there
    
    i don't think that i can stand
    i'm so run down
    she is oh so out of hand
    she's coming down now
    
    sometimes she says she loves me
    i just don't believe it
    all day she says...
    
    my set it plays 
    love songs all day
    it sells toothpaste,
    razors, band-aids
    it sells love
    and it sells hairspray
    ha ha all day
    monday monday
    
    i don't think that i can stand
    i'm so run down
    she is oh so out of hand
    she's coming down now
    
    
    
    I WANNA SLEEP WITH YOU
    she comes in like an angel
    and goes down like these flats
    i don't know why she does all this
    it's making her see that
    i don't want you always
    and i won't hold your hand
    i won't give you flowers
    i just wanna sleep with you
    
    i just want to sleep with you
    i just want to sleep with you
    
    i got my own morals
    you've got your own too
    lovers will just steal your clothes
    but i'm not one of them
    forgive me i just didn't want to run away with you
    there's romance or so she says
    i wanna sleep with you
    
    i just want to sleep with you
    i just want to sleep with you
    i wanna sleep with you
    
    i didn't want to fade in you
    i make my own scenes
    these go-go girls are happening
    they're just like accidents
    he's got sunglasses, electric shoes,
    this vicious dog and i shake
    a uninform in black and blue
    he wants to be your guard
    
    i just want to sleep with you
    i just want to sleep with you now
    
    
    
    ALL OF THIS AND NOTHING
    a phonebook full of accidents
    a girl to drive your car
    a suit to wear on mondays
    and a coat a magazine
    a heavy rain, a holiday
    a painting of the wall
    a knife a fork and memories
    a light to see it all
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    hey i never meant that stuff
    i want to turn you round
    
    dominoes, a pack of cards
    a picture of the queen 
    a dress to wear on sundays
    and a handle for the door
    a letter that i sent for you
    a note you left for me
    a wave, a pack of cigarettes
    a pocket full of beads
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    hey i never meant that stuff
    i want to turn you on
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    hey i never meant that stuff
    i want to turn you round
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    hey i never meant that stuff
    i want to turn you on
    
    the sound of people getting drunk
    a ceiling and a sky
    a bank that's full of promises
    a telephone that lies
    a visit from your doctor
    he crawls in through the door
    a mirror you can look in 
    so that you know where you are
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    hey i never meant that stuff
    i want to turn you round
    
    you didn't leave me anything
    that i can understand
    now i'm left with all of this
    a room full of your trash
