From my orig June 2021 post. I have not reviewed or updated...

Lighten up a little bit, baby
And put a smile upon your face
Lighten up a little bit, baby
Put on some powder and some paint

Lighten up a little bit, babe
Put on some silk, put on some lace
C'mon, sugar

Let's see your broken smile
Broad as the River Nile
C'mon now, babe
Put on some powder and some paint

When all's said and done
We had the biggest fun
Accept my fond regrets
Let's stay the best of friends

And goodbye to the gilded youth
And so long to the velvet rooms
and the pain that is burning right in my heart

And goodbye to the gilded youth
and so long, if you need the proof
Feel the wounds that you gouged right into my heart

Don't you worry about a thing now, babe
Just because the train is pulling out
Wipe away those tears now
Put some lipstick on your mouth

No star-eyed view,
I know your heart is bruised
but you can't put the clock right back to the start

Thank You so much, sorry for late.

Not a bad song, eh?

The youtube post and comments seem to give the impression its from 2021, but thats when it circulated on the 'Fully Finished Outtakes' set

It's from the 'Bridges to Babylon' sessions in spring 1997

But who/what's it (really) about, as they say?
Is it a mix-up of Jogger's thoughts on Teeth, on the Hall (of mirrors), on prossies, on S&M, onjust a wardrobe of trousers (and cardigans) even? Like 'Close To You' its speaks of ageing, of dreams, bad or regular just  freaky dreams; also additionally and seemingly of Jerry & The Pacemaker/r/Old Rupey?.
Is it too pretentious to read lyrics as fine poetry?
What would the Frogs say, or Marianne?

Good tune , the beginning is excellent
