Thread: Morcheeba - "... powder pink ..."

There is the song "What New York Couples Fight About" by Morcheeba in duo with Kurt Wagner.
And this song contains the lines

Powder pink and general,
the kitchen sink, a funeral

What can "powder pink" and the entire phrase mean?

What New York Couples Fight About

Code:

Once a label is on something
It becomes an it
Like it's no longer alive

It's like a loss of vision
Or some dark impression
Or a black spot on your eye

If it's up to you
My little sweet baboo
Through the shouting and the fever
Think of life as queer
Think of it my dear
And some knobs or a fancy tone


From here there is no reason
Baby's got it made
But it's not what the life's about

What is imagination
May become a fact
If we think of it that way

If you want to know
I can tell you now
Oh if you make it through somehow
Or is it best to keep
Or fall to sleep
It isn't looking very good to me
From here


Hey
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know 'cause I forget

     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know


                                        (What do,)
                                        (New York
                                        (Couples fight about
                                        (Brothers gonna work it out)
Baby's got the bed sheet                (How do)
That was under you                      (New York)
When your time and life expires         (Couples fight it out)
                                        (What these couples fight about)
Keeps it in the closet                  (What do)
Keeps it to herself                     (New York)
She should throw the damn thing out     (Couples fight about)
                                        (But this gonna work it out)
Why should you continue                 (How do)
To shake it off                         (New York)
Would you write things on the wall?     (Couples fight it out)
                                        (What these couples fight about)
You could make it hard
To be
In the shouting you will see
Or is it best to change the world you're keeping
Down again


Hey
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
                                   #3 times
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know


Such is the sound of sorry
Without the shy report
Or the grips that could hold you down     (just when things were looking up
                                           you act just like a horse's butt)
Everything was simple
But the body's worn
Got the life spread on the ground         (Powder pink and general,   <---------------------------------------
                                           the kitchen sink, a funeral)
Every loving other
Don't you fade on me
Like a bomb that's about to blow          (Often we will overlook
                                           the things that make it undercooked)
We can make it hard
Or we can take the world apart
Or you'd never be that sure
Of the simple things that makes you want
To cry, again

Hey
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
                                   #3 times
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know 'cause I forget
     He's distressed and I forget
     I don't wanna know, I don't wanna know

With (brackets) I marked Sky Edwards's words which are weaving into the Kurt Wagner's words.
I was trying to keep formatting so It was unable to mark the phrase with a color, so I marked the phrase with an arrow.

"Powder pink" = пасткль. The color of face powder.
The whole phrase? I dunno, maybe it means everyday things.
