The 1975 Being Funny In A Foreign Language

“Oh Caroline” is the fifth song included in The 1975’s fifth studio album Being Funny in a Foreign Language.

The track has been described as a “deceivingly dark melodic pop anthem” and the lyrics are themed around “all-consuming love”.

On the song’s Spotify listing, Matty Healy claims there is no namesake behind “Oh Caroline” – despite previous speculation that the track’s subject was Caroline Flack.

“It’s an invented character, where the cadence really mattered. It couldn’t be ‘Oh Linda’ or ‘Oh Jane’ – you had to have a 3 syllable that really works.”

A snippet was played during the Zane Lowe interview on October 12, 2022 ahead of the album’s release.

Tim Healy, who featured on The 1975’s song “Don’t Worry” with his son and lead vocalist Matty, has labeled “Oh Caroline” as his favorite song on the album.

Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I’ve been suicidal
You’ve been gone for weeks
If I’m undecided, will you decide for me?
Baby, I’ll do anythin’ that you wanna
I’ll try anythin’ that you wanna
I’ll try
‘Cause you’re on my mind

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, Caroline
I wanna get it right this time
‘Cause you’re always on my mind
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)

[Verse 2]
Getting suicidal?
It’s honestly not for me
I’m gettin’ on my nerves by gettin’ on my knees
Getting cucked, I don’t need it
The place I want to be
Is somewhere in your heart
Somewhere guaranteed

[Pre-Chorus]
‘Cause baby, I’ll do anything that you wanna
I’ll try anything that you wanna
I’ll find myself in the moonlight
‘Cause baby, I want everything that you wanna
And I’ve tried to just be me like a thousand times
But you’re on my mind

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, Caroline
I wanna get it right this time
‘Cause you’re always on my mind (You’re always on my mind)
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)

[Bridge]
Oh, I’ve tried to find
Another name a thousand times
But the only one that rhymes (Always on my mind)
Is, “Oh, Caroline!” (Oh)
Just give me one more chance tonight
‘Cause I don’t want to waste my life without you, baby
No, I don’t want to waste my life without you, baby

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, Caroline
Get it right this time
Always on my mind
I wanna get it right
But you’re on my mind

[Chorus]
Oh-oh, Caroline
I wanna get it right this time
‘Cause you’re always on my mind (You’re always on my mind)
Oh-oh, Caroline (Oh-oh)
