Is it Monday again already?! Racing through them now aren’t we!! And I love Mondays now because of Music Monday – a weekly tag hosted by Drew over at The Tattooed Book Geek, and it’s a weekly chance to share some favourite tunes and videos!

I seem to have fallen down an Eighties movie rabbit hole recently, and that’s what I’m sharing again today! Pretty in Pink by Psychedelic Furs!! Turn it up!!!

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 coaches

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?
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?

All their favorite rags are worn
And other kinds of uniform
Kitty, you’re really free like individuality
You are what you want to be
Until tomorrow the driveway’s broken
His doorbell sings its chimes
In time with what and for who
God knows why I tried this
Vicious drug and I shake

#MusicMonday Will You? by Hazel O’Connor

Hello! Happy Monday!! Time for more tunes! This is a weekly tag hosted by Drew over at THE TATTOOED BOOK GEEK which gives you the chance to share a favourite song or video!
Another walk down memory lane for me today and back to the eighties as this came up on a random playlist the other day  – Will You? by Hazel O’Connor! Check out the sax solo!! Not sure I’ll be copying her make-up though….

You drink your coffee and I sip my tea
And we’re sitting here
Playing so cool
Thinking what will be, will beBut it’s getting kind of late now
I wonder if you’ll stay now
Stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?I move a little closer to you
Not knowing quite what to do
And I’m feeling all fingers and thumbs
Spill my tea, oh, silly me

But it’s getting kind of late now
I wonder if you’ll stay now
Stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?

And then we touch
Much too much
This moment has been
Waiting for a long, long time

Makes me shiver, makes me quiver
This moment I’m so unsure
This moment I’ve waited for
Is it something you’ve been waiting for
Waiting for too?

Take off your eyes, bare your soul
Gather me to you and make me whole
Tell me your secrets, sing me the song
Sing it to me in the silent tongue

But it’s getting kind of late now
I wonder if you’ll stay now
Stay now, stay now, stay now
Or will you just politely say goodnight?
