An Icicle in the Sun

Bob Geldof

I know you’re pretty and you're young
You’re like an icicle in the sun
You sparkle and you shine okay
And one day soon you’ll melt away
Fade away, melt away

It’s 6’o clock, and growing colder
And nobody looks out on the bay
Her breath is fogging up the window
But I can see her cry
The water glistened in her eye
It trickled down and caught the light
And crashed down quietly

Yeah you’re pretty and you're young
But no one said it’s any fun
I know you heard somebody say
Every dog must have it’s day
It’s not your day so bark away

It’s 8’o clock and growing older
She wonders why they stay away
Her dress just don’t fit her like it used to
The meter’s running out
She gets another shilling out
She sighs and then she settles down
Another evening…

Yeah you’re pretty and you're young
You're bursting out and having fun
From where I stand you look okay
Oh i'll remember you this way
Come this way, don't delay

Play the worn out tape
The one that has you smiling
Play the part where each one leaves and waves goodbye
Turn the volume down
On all the old excuses
The ones that said I do
Or I will if I could
It's true, 'cause when you're old there's nothing new
But just remember

The ones that said I do
I would if I could, it’s true
‘Cause when you’re old there’s nothing new
But just remember

When you’re pretty and you're young
It’s sad to see what she's become
And you just want to shake and shout
Meet somebody going out
Look straight ahead and part the crowd
That covers her up like a shroud

You you’re pretty and you're young
You’re like an icicle in the sun
Number one, rule of thumb
