The final part is the narrator of the song being with Caroline perhaps being a guy who likes her and who knows who she is and is in a relationship with her. "Pretty In Pink" could be seen as sort of a code of sorts an attractive but upopular girl who is a bit of a dreamer, wanting to fit in with her peers and is always seen wearing pink, which becomes how her peers think of her (IE the hot looking girl who is always wearing pink that they can't be bothered to remember her name yet brag about having sex with her in private). The middle section (the one who insists he was first in the line/is the last to remember her name) makes me think of the "Caroline" character being sung about being someone who wasn't easy but all of the guys say they slept with her, are really the guys who shunned her and not bothering to remember her name if told. I never saw the song to be about a promiscuous girl so much as a girl who her classmates/friends all gossip about as far as guys claiming to have slept with her. Maybe the writer was trying to imply that she was better than that and just had to relaise it.) She is obviously beautiful as the traffic stops for her 'These cars collide'. (Waving goodbye to yet another guy who is leaving straight after getting what he wanted. There's nothing these guys want from her except what they've already had.) (Perhaps she's not so well off, which makes her the way she is. (She attempts to give her casual encounters some level of romance, without much sucess.) (Stealing her things and taking the piss out of her, even further emphasising her not being accepted) They'll promise her the world and then abandon her when they've got what they wanted.) (She thinks the guys genuinely care about her when in reality, they don't even care who she is. And the guys commenting how good she looks naked?) (Pretty obvious- an easy shag, basically. 'Flowers that they never sent' shows that they didn't care about her enough to send her flowers.) (This sounds to me like she was thinking there was something serious with these guys, so sending them love notes that they ignored. (To me this feels either ironic or, like someone else said, a reference to being naked.) ![]() (Dreaming of better things, maybe where guys actually like her rather than just use her.) She turns her self round and she smiles and she saysĪnd loses herself in her dreaming and sleepĪnd her lovers walk through in their coats 'The side of our lives' means she's not an important part of the lives of the guys she has sex with, and the situation between them is 'never put right' because she feels for them and they just see her as a meaningless booty call.) (She likes to feel like she fits in, and flirting and having sex with guys makes her feel that way. (She laughs even though her life isn't great, and it's 'raining') I'd tend to agree with the theories of a promiscuous teenage girl than the transvestite simply because there seems to be more evidence in the words. She lives in the place in the side of our lives
