The Monday Morning Memo

Pink Cadillac

You may think I'm foolish
For the foolish things I do.
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do.
Well baby you know you bug me,
There ain't no secret 'bout that.
Well come on over here and hug me,
Baby I'll spill the facts.
Well honey it ain't your money
'Cause baby I got plenty of that.
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night.

Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac.
Pink Cadillac.

Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along.
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong.
Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That the flesh does surely hold.
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that.
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night.
Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back
Of your pink Cadillac.
Now some folks say it's too big
And uses too much gas.
Some folks say it's too old
And that it goes too fast.
But my love is bigger than a Honda.
It's bigger than a Subaru.
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do.
Anyway, we don't have to drive it.
Honey, we can park it out in back.
And have a party in your pink Cadillac

– Bruce Springsteen

Random Quote:

“…you’re weeks older now, is your hair grey? have you put your hair up, and do you look like a real adult person…? You mustn’t look too grown up, because you’d look older than me; and you’ll never, I’ll never let you, grow wise, and I’ll never, you shall never let me, grow wise, and we’ll always be young and unwise together. There is, I suppose, in the eyes of the They, a sort of sweet madness about you and me, a sort of mad bewilderment and astonishment oblivious to the Nasties and the Meanies…. I know we’re not saints or virgins or lunatics; we know all the lust and lavatory jokes, and most of the dirty people; we can catch buses and count our change and cross the roads and talk real sentences. But our innocence goes awfully deep, and our discreditable secret is that we don’t know anything at all, and our horrid inner secret is that we don’t care that we don’t.”

- Dylan Thomas, 21, part of an early love letter he wrote to Caitlin McNamara, whom he later married.
