Great song! It reminds me so much of the summer of '84 everytime I hear it. Wasn't the chorus inspired by a Joni Mitchell song?

nod the lyrics are inspired by Joni's song "Both Sides Now",which features these lyrics...

bows and flows of angel hair
and ice cream castles in the air
and feather canyons everywhere
I've looked at clouds that way

that song is fantastic. and it's even better in her new version
with her raspy matured voice.

the prince song is tres cool too cool
and true love lives on lollipops and crisps
