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 coaches

Pretty in pink, isn't she?
Pretty in pink, isn't she?

Come in here, dear boy, have a cigar, you're gonna go far
You're gonna fly, you're never gonna die
You're gonna make it if you try, they're gonna love you
Well, I've always had a deep respect and I mean that most sincere
The band is just fantastic, that is really what I think
Oh, by the way, which one's pink?

Getting strong now
Won't be long now
Getting strong now
Gonna fly now
Flying high now
Gonna fly, fly, fly

 

 

(If that didn't make you cue up the horn section in your brain, then you're probably under 50.)

1930 when the wall caved in
He made his way selling red-eyed gin


Brown-eyed women and red grenadine
The bottle was dusty, but the liquor was clean
Sound of the thunder with the rain pourin' down
And it looks like the old man's gettin' on

Said hey, little boy, you can't go where the others go
'Cause you don't look like they do
Said hey, old man, how can you stand to think that way?
Did you really think about it before you made the rules?
He said, son

 

That's just the way it is
Some things will never change
That's just the way it is
Ah, but don't you believe them

Little boy sittin' on the corner cryin'
Big man come and ask him why
Says "I can't do what the big boys do"
The man sat down and he cried too

 

 

[edit: This verse is from the Grateful Dead's cover, but the original version of the song was written and recorded by Harry Belafonte. About an hour after I posted it, I saw the news of his death.]

I come from down in the valley
Where, mister, when you're young
They bring you up to do like your daddy done
Me and Mary we met in high school
When she was just seventeen
We'd ride out of this valley down to where the fields were green

We'd go down to the river
And into the river we'd dive
Oh, down to the river we'd ride

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don't pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It's a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

Kiss me, out of the bearded barley
Nightly, beside the green, green grass
Swing, swing, (swing, swing) swing the spinning step
You wear those shoes and I will wear that dress

 

Oh, kiss me, beneath the milky twilight
Lead me out on the moonlit floor
Lift your open hand
Strike up the band and make the fireflies dance
Silver moon's sparkling
So kiss me

If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop

I've been running hot
You got me wrecking gonna blow my top
If you start me up
If you start me up, I'll never stop
Never stop, never stop, never stop

You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry
You make a grown man cry

It's not wrong
To want the world for someone
It's not a feeling you can run from
'Cause we love who we love
So let go
You don't know better than your heart knows
Whether they're here or long gone
And we love who we love
Yeah, we love who we love

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone
Turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song
I closed my eyes and I slipped away

 

It's more than a feeling
(More than a feeling)
When I hear that old song they used to play
(More than a feeling)
I begin dreaming
(More than a feeling)
'Til I see Marianne walk away
I see my Marianne walkin' away

A feeling (woo-hoo)
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good night
That tonight's gonna be a good, good night

 

Tonight's the night, let's live it up
I got my money, let's spend it up (a fee-)
Go out and smash it, like, "Oh my God"
Jump out that sofa, let's kick it, off (a fee-)

We used to drive all night, all over town
We'd go Waltzing Matilda, when Matilda came around
And I always sang them blues to you

There's a dirty wind blowing
There's a storm front coming in
There's an SOS on the seas tonight
Steady now, Steady now
Soldier hold fast now
It's heads or tails on heart attacks and broken dreams tonight

Everybody's talkin' at me
I don't hear a word they're sayin'
Only the echoes of my mind

 

People stoppin', starin'
I can't see their faces
Only the shadows of their eyes

 

I'm goin' where the sun keeps shinin'
Through the pourin' rain
Goin' where the weather suits my clothes

I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' up the country, baby don't you want to go?
I'm goin' to some place where I've never been before

I'm goin' I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
I'm goin' where the water tastes like wine
We can jump in the water, stay drunk all the time

I've got you under my skin
I've got you deep in the heart of me
So deep in my heart that you're really a part of me
I've got you under my skin

 

I'd tried so not to give in
I said to myself, "This affair never will go so well"
But why should I try to resist when baby, I know so well
I've got you under my skin

But I'm the only one
Who'll walk across the fire for you
And I'm the only one
Who'll drown in my desire for you
It's only fear that makes you run
The demons that you're hiding from
When all your promises are gone
I'm the only one
