"Caroline's Monkey", une suite de "Pretty in Pink"?

Bonjour tout le monde,
D'après un post sur Reddit, "Caroline' Monkey" serait une sorte de "suite" à "Pretty in Pink" de The Psychedelic Furs, écrite par par le coauteur de la première chanson, Richard Butler, et initialement parue en 1981, puis réenregistrée en 1986 pour le film du même nom - Rose bonbon en français - (Merci Wiki !).
À la lecture des paroles, le lien parait évident, car les couplets sont écrits pareils : l'évocation "exclusive" des faits et gestes de Caroline, une fille qui, dans sa quête d'amour, se donne sans compter, et qui, manifestement, aurait fini junkie en 2023...
Je vous laisse juger...

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 herself 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?

PS: le passage "All of her lovers all talk of her notes/And the flowers that they never sent" rappelle aussi celui de "Don't Say You Love Me" : "You'll be the flowers/That some lover sent/I'll be the goodbye note/That is hiding in them"...

Ouais, ben si c'est le cas, comme la plupart des suites, c'est beaucoup moins bien que l'original !
