Tickle me pink
I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin
Except I've never been as sweet
I've rolled around the orchard
And found myself too awkward
And tickle me green I'm too naive
[Chorus]
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground
Time is too early
My hair isn't curly
I wish I was home and tucked away
When nothing goes right
And the future's dark as night
What you need is a sunny sunny day
[Chorus]
Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears
Don't know where I can buy a heart
The one I've got is shoddy
I need a brand new body
And then I can have a brand new start
[Chorus]
Monsters in the valley
And shootings in the alley
And people fall flat at every turn
There is no straight and narrow
Offload your wheelbarrow
And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn
[Chorus]
[Repeats till end]
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
I'm rosy as a flushed red apple skin
Except I've never been as sweet
I've rolled around the orchard
And found myself too awkward
And tickle me green I'm too naive
[Chorus]
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead
Muffled out and pushed back down
Pushed back through the leafy ground
Time is too early
My hair isn't curly
I wish I was home and tucked away
When nothing goes right
And the future's dark as night
What you need is a sunny sunny day
[Chorus]
Don't know where I can find myself a brand new pair of ears
Don't know where I can buy a heart
The one I've got is shoddy
I need a brand new body
And then I can have a brand new start
[Chorus]
Monsters in the valley
And shootings in the alley
And people fall flat at every turn
There is no straight and narrow
Offload your wheelbarrow
And pick up your sticks and twigs to burn
[Chorus]
[Repeats till end]
Pray for the people inside your head
For they won't be there when you're dead

I think this song is a refernece to Brighton Rock by Graham Greene.. I havent actually read the novel but i know from Pete doherty lyrics in the song "I love you (but youre green)" "Oh you, you're green You don't know what love means Well let me tell you It tickles you pink oh yeah" is similar to the lyrics "Tickle me pink and tickle me green I'm too naive"
This is a reference to the novel "there's the part where Pinkie tells Rose, who is in love with him "You're green. You don't know what people do. You're innocent." He doesn't believe love brings much good, and thinks that rose could only love anyone because she is 'green' (which would definitely mean ignorant or naive in this case)." courtesy of songmeanings page for the pete doherty song
anyway its such a good song.
