Who are the little girls on this videoclip? Just watched it and now I'm curious. I have never wondered about it before.

I have always really liked hearing this song live. Was very glad to hear it at MSG in 2016. The bass line gives it a much more straight ahead post-punk feel.
Lyrically, I take it to be about falling in love with someone at a very young age along with what age does to you in terms of changing over time / becoming more jaded. Kids do dream and it's great to see. Then, what happens to us?
It's inevitable people change over time. "Oh please don't change" would make it so much simpler. I hope we're forever in flux as people, otherwise life would feel veeeeery looooooong.
I've been on a Primary kick since hearing a few fairly different versions of it. I love to see how it changed so much as a song from the earliest ones I've heard to the album version we all know so well.
Anyone know what the different lyrics are Robert sings in this version from Lancaster University 1980 and the Morgan Studio outtake version on the Faith Deluxe Edition are?
For the Lancaster U version, the sound quality isn't great so to me it sounds roughly like:
Yellow is such a happy color/ but I feel so old - unintelligible blah blah blah/ girl sits in a room drawing pictures/ ah yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
The Morgan Studio version has really different lyrics, I think. But because I'm American and there are heavy effects on Robert's voice, it's harder to figure. There are other colors mentioned, blue, and I'm assuming red, because it's the third primary color?
