Really? You do realize Runaway was written before there was even a band? Never mind the band hitting the road and then writing about it.

It was written about the girls Jon saw around Port Authority while he was working at Power Station studios.

I heard it was about a 25 year old man running away from his job at a cheese factory in Wisconsin.

Peaches - Did you help Jon write that one too?

Good catch.

Peaches probably just got the timeline mixed up. The years between 82 - 88 were a crazy blur, what with her escapdes with the band, helping write number 1 singles and making out with Jon.
