Pretty In Pink

Now we’re back in 1984
He’s waiting by the door
She’s all dressed up for the perfect night
Oh and he’s bad
But you know she doesn’t care
She’s living on a prayer
Bon Jovi’s on the radio

Her mother hates him
She says ‘Baby please, you’re too young to see what I see’
But she just says ‘Mama, you don’t understand
and you can’t live my life for me!’

She’s pretty in pink
With a heart of sixteen
Yeah she’d do anything to be his world
To be his girl
She’s pretty in pink
With a heart of sixteen
Yeah she’d do anything to be his world
To be his girl

When you think of a marshmallow type candy you are probably thinking of something that is soft and pliable; that’s not the case with the Hello Kitty Marshmallow Lollipop. It’s made of compressed marshmallow so while it tastes like a regular soft and fluffy marshmallow when you are eating it, it’s more dense and chewier.
At the  tea party these Lollipops are their favorite, so they saved them for last.

White haired girl

In Real Life,white hair indicates either age, bleach or albinism. In anime and manga, white hair tends to indicate dignity and skill, unless the character in question is a bishonen, in which case he is almost always a villain.  Often this is treated like a variation on blond hair—”platinum blond”—with the character having blue eyes to match. Unless she has red eyes, which would suggest she’s an albino.

Red Hair

I guess I fell in love too quick kinda got burned up by a red head chick.
So I ain’t tryin go that route again.
I was rolling through a stop sign, lookin at a red light when I seen her ass walk by.
That’s when I found my new friend.
And she had blonde hair, bright blue eyes, looking like a flower child.
Top down, music loud jamming to her favourite song.
I’m down, she was down, so we really hit it off.
And I know she could never do, do to me what them red heads do.

I’m scared that girl’s a red head.
I’m scared that girl’s a red head.
Cause everytime I go there I see them red head girls just ain’t no good.
I’m scared that girl’s a red head.
I’m scared that girl’s a red head.
Cause everytime I go there I see them red head girls just ain’t no good.

 

The Ghost and the Black hat

A widow’s life is no life at all
Look said the ghost,
there in the hall
Her big brown eyes
And northern beer
Pulled her through her living years
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
The gravedigger’s work
is almost done

A hole in the ground
spits dirt at the sun
The water-tank is dirty and dry
Dust from the creek covers the sky
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
Five years without a sound
The railroad’s melted down
Ten years further on
A husband in the ground
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
Won’t you wear the
Black Hat
