The self-titled debut album from 1983 (with Carey writing all the songs, playing most of the instruments, and singing lead vocals on all but one song) features Carey's most commercially successful track "Why Me", which enjoyed very heavy rotation on MTV in its early days. The album combines a strong pop sensibility and hooks with keyboard- & guitar-driven progressive rock. Other noteworthy songs include "Static", "Armageddon", "Send It In A Letter," and "Only You and Me" (with guest lead vocals by David Thomas). The album's production value is reminiscent of Jeff Lynne's on The Electric Light Orchestra's album "Time".

Tony Carey has recorded many albums over the years, including "The Boystown Tapes".

Pink World
Planet P Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

There's a pink world
Comin' down
Yeah, there's a pink world
Comin' down
In a quite little village by the sea
I hear the calling and it calls for you and me
So leave your riches and your houses on the hills
Cancel all your credit cards and settle up your bills

Cause you won't need them anymore
Close down the factories
Blow up all the stores
Cause there's a pink world
Comin' down
Yeah, there's a pink world
Comin' down
Once I stood in new york city with a sign
Sayin', "the end is comin', friends
Repent while there's still time"
I will admit that no one really seemed to hear
They would laugh and point their fingers
At my sandals and my beard
But now they'll listen when I say
I have proof, cause I read it in the supermarket today
There's a pink world
Comin' down
And it rolls like an avalanche
And it will sweep you away

Yes it rolls like an avalanche
And it will carry us away
