from The Pretenders, The Pretenders - Viva El Amor (1999)
There was a time you thought I was in love with you.
Well think again, you can't read my thoughts. You're so pretty I'd like to break your smile in two. You're so correct I'd like to disconnect the dots. You're such a child, but you're not innocent Another kid for rent. *Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death. The love you have to offer is only baby's breath. There was a time I thought you were magnificent But you've got nothing to have or to hold. You're so pensive but your thoughts are insignificant. Wrap 'em up, another 20 billion sold. You think you're wild and know what danger means In your designer jeans. Why did you send me roses? Save them for someone's death. The love you have to offer is only baby's breath. I'd like to have you alone tonight and rearrange your mind. I'd like to have you, but I know I'd be wasting my time. *Repeat (x2) |

Biker they tell me
You're a dangerous love Well that might be true Oh, but I'd never ride with another Maybe they've never had Their arms around Anything so wild and free You bring the biker out in me I can't understand it Why people give you grief You play the one-armed bandit Like an outlaw with a belief To them it's the norm for A man to conform To a godless society You bring the biker out in me You bring the biker out in me Because they've no interest In the struggle to obtain The status and bogus desires That drive most people insane You who have nothing Have something that only the one percent Could ever see You bring the biker out in me You bring the biker out in me |

I walk the streets at night
Under artificial light Looking for somewhere to live I've been on the east side Where a lady can reside But, I'm waiting for you Waiting for you In the falling rain Oh heal me Heal me...again What's the cost of fame? What's in a name? Maybe, can you Vibrate and clarify So that even lowly I Can find the road that leads to you In the falling rain Oh heal me Heal me...again One more little heartache One more little heartache One more little earthquake Wash me down Wash me down Ghostly memory Come back to me Fill me and then Take me to your grave I promise to behave And let me in the whole Of you In the falling rain Oh heal me Heal me...again (Note: Fantastic song...awesome groove with a devilish hook. Chrissie at her hauntingly beautiful best!) |

We
Watch each other even when we sleep For some small protection It's a promise we keep Love Is hard to define It runs in circles round the mind But a circle Ain't a circle If it's not complete Oh Love me from the heart down If it hurts or if it's bliss Love me from the heart down Reveal me with a kiss My senses must compete with a brain that lets me down Down down We Satisfy each other but the hunger still remains You sink into my flesh Like a knife When day comes to an end We take off all our clothes And stand naked Face to face With real life Oh Love me from the heart down Get me on the floor Love me from the heart down Go under and then come back for more Analytical patter Gives love the run around Around You can't hold a theory Won't you love me Love me from the heart down We Misconstrue intentions When there's distance in between Longing hurts the teeth Like something sweet When You're not here with me You become a memory Thic aching feels like some kind Of defeat Oh Love me from the heart down Get me on the phone Love me from the heart down Lie and say you're Coming home True confessions need the make-up Of a clown Smiles are deceiving Won't you love me Love me from the heart down |

I play a good game,
but not as good as you I can be a little cold, but you can be so cruel I'm not made of brick, I'm not made of stone But I had you fooled enough to take me on If love was a war, it's you who has won While I was confessing it, you held your tongue Now the damage is done... *Well there's blood in these veins And I cry when in pain I'm only human on the inside And if looks can deceive Make it hard to believe I'm only human on the inside I thought you'd come through, I thought you'd come clean You were the best thing I should never have seen But you go to extremes, you push me too far Then you keep going 'til you break my heart Yeah, you break my heart See I bleed and I bruise, oh, but what's it to you I'm only human on the inside And if looks could deceive, Make it hard to believe I'm only human on the inside I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn I'm only human on the inside I stumble and fall, baby, under it all I'm only human on the inside And the damage is done... *Repeat I crash and I burn, maybe some day you'll learn I stumble and fall, baby, I do it all I'm only human on the inside |

Legalize me
Oh I want the legal right to be me Only me Legalize me Bail me, jail me But they're never gonna nail me Pharmaceutically I was sleeping like a baby in bed When I woke up To a voice in my head "We're all outta rooms Try down the road is what I said" I'm just a farmer And I grow marijuana Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that? Oh baby doll We're gonna rattle your combinations Up and down Legalize me Oh I gotta gotta gotta feel free Really free Legalize me Wake me, shake me If they're gonna come and take me Make it legally I been campaigning for The rights of the meek I've been holed up In a tree most the week Hey, sir, your crush boxes Are starting to leak They're saying "never" But we'll wait here Forever and ever and ever and ever Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that? Oh baby doll We're gonna rattle your combinations Up and down And if I want to shake my hair In the sun Don't try to flail me For offending anyone I don't take Prozac And I'll never own a gun I'm just a farmer But, I swear I'd never harm her Oh baby doll Can yo tell that I like that?

What are you doing here? Royalty and people like thee Should queue up in the rear My patience has worn thin My tyres are gonna explode Yeah, yeah Every time I try to get close to you You throw nails in the road This is a sticky situation Will require a measure of tact We just don't like to mix it with you all It's a cultural fact My patience has worn thin My tyres are gonna explode Yeah, yeah Every time I try to get close to you You throw nails in the road This is a clean up job Everybody grab a mop You wanna further your position Well look what floats on top On top Well there's class and then there's class But we're above all that The butcher and the baker and the thief and the witch And the aristocrat My patience has worn thin My tyres are gonna explode Yeah, yeah, yeah Every time I try to get close to you You throw nails in the road... |

room last night And took off all your clothes Did you think I would resist letting you inside Did you think I could resist you My favourite samurai You swam across the bedroom Drunk on my champagne You got into the air Across the river Wye And pushed aside your headstone My favourite samurai Then you showed me something I didn't know How to let go I was falling through the tivoli sky Expecting to fly Expecting to fly When I stood beside your tomb last night Recalling how you rose Did you think I would persist Refusing to die See how I've persisted My favourite samurai |

When we meet again
Just refer to me as "back then" Or pretend not to recall Ever knowing me at all Or hanging round my door Begging for more When you begin Playing to win That's when the losers rush in And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... A man without a home Is never alone Well just look at what he's got The whole parking lot In those unsheltered places There's always other places Take mine for a start It's like a modern work of art Disturbing and lacking in heart And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... It must be so wonderful Being you every day Oh, it must be so wonderful Always gettin' your way A common dialogue Is the best thing that you'll get From the woman you call wife So try not to forget To tear out and burn The things you unlearn Your future exists In her shopping list Please Call your office And I... I got better than you At jumping the queue To get closer to seeing Who's who... I got better than you I got better than you |

You've gone all sad so I feel sad too I think I know some things we never outgrow You think it's wrong I can tell you do How can I explain When you don't want me to Kid my only kid You look so small you've gone so quiet I know you know what I'm about I won't deny it But you forgive though you don't understand You've turned your head You've dropped by hand All my sorrow, all my blues All my sorrow Shut the light, go away Full of grace, you cover your face Kid gracious kid Your eyes are blue but you won't cry I know angry tears are too dear You won't let them go |

I was born with my hand in a fist
And my eyes shut tight Any wonder that I cannot resist Punchin' blindly in a fight The first time I saw swans flyin' to the sun I wanted to be one Like every mother's son When I saw my life had begun I wanted to be someone Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son I was raised within a cause With a purpose to fulfill I was taught to defend what was mine And instructed not to kill My small mortal eyes can see eternity In the clouds that dissolve and then regroup endlessly Like every mother's son When a man showed me how to use a gun I wished I'd never need one Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son Everything in domesticity Assumes it's role better than me I'm a displaced person whose culture let me down I raise my own daughters in a pornographic town Like every mother's son I've lost some and some I've won Now I'm waiting for a new dawn Like my brother and my one and only father And like every mother's son |

I went out on the balcony in the middle of the night
The hotel was dark except for just one light Television burning in the other room I couldn't sleep so i put on some of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony and looked across the way Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like sugar ray I was feeling dizzy - began to swoon Was it his punch or was it just your Hollywood perfume? I feel like a fugitive escaped from my life Seeking refuge in the sensual heat These paper-thin walls make me party to calls Of love wafting through the room The night jasmine bloom Of your hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony to clear my head I was burning up in my queen-sized bed Down on the strip beneath the billboard moon Teenaged girls look for love in the Neon sex and doom Of your hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony with your photograph I dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh You like your tan but you don't like to swim Meanwhile i feel like i'm drowning in Neon sex and doom The night jasmine bloom Of your hollywood perfume |

No business, no money talk. Zero in on my full of intentions, I think you got it because you pulled up and stopped. If money is the root of all evil, I'm begging at the feet of the devil. Talk to me please, Money talk to me. Twenty gets you straight, Forty gets you other, Think of what a hundred could do. I've been gifted with the thing that you want, Who's better than who? Never underestimate a woman like me, The kids have got to eat, And man, that's reality, you see. Money talk to me. You're so deluded, You think that I'm real. You pass your hormones off as love, For five minutes you feel. You can buy a squeegy little silicone sack, But it won't feed the world like the ones that I pack naturally. Money talk to me. |

Went out on the balcony in the middle of the night
The hotel was dark except for just one light Television burning in the other room I couldn't sleep so I put on some of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony and looked across the way Some guy was shadow boxing, he looked like sugar ray I was feeling dizzy - began to swoon Was it his punch or was it just your Hollywood perfume? I feel like a fugitive escaped from my life Seeking refuge in the sensual heat These paper-thin walls make me party to calls Of love wafting through the room The night jasmine bloom Of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony to clear my head I was burning up in my queen-sized bed Down on the strip beneath the billboard moon Teenaged girls look for love in the Neon sex and doom Of your Hollywood perfume I went out on the balcony with your photograph I dropped it in the pool and that made me laugh You like your tan but you don't like to swim Meanwhile I feel like I'm drowning in Neon sex and doom The night jasmine bloom Of your Hollywood perfume |

She's getting older
Yeah, she's getting wise But a change has changed the girl Gone's the sparkle from her eyes She wants to be a good mother So she'll do the best she can But what about the other What about the man Well it's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor To the bone Resignation In her sighs Is a sorry indication Of how time Can brutalise Take away the hope And the will will follow Take away the faith And goodbye tomorrow Well it's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor To the bone She had her dreams too But how can she pursue Her ambitions, be they great or small You took her wings and flew But remember when you're through Your rise was due To somebody else's fall When the hard part's over And the kids are almost grown You'll be their big hero Whenever you make it home Shower them with presents Things she could never buy Delight them with your stories About the great big, great big world outside But dig - It's cold to leave a woman With family on her own It's chill factor Chill factor To the bone |

Into your room I've heard it's lined With the things you don't show Lay me beside you Down on the floor I've been your lover From the womb to the tomb I dress as your daughter When the moon becomes round You be my mother When everything's gone And she will always carry on Something is lost But something is found They will keep on speaking her name Somethings change Some stay the same Keep beckoning to me From behind that closed door The maid and the mother And the crone that's grown old I hear your voice Coming out of that hole I listen to you And I want some more I listen to you And I want some more And she will always carry on Something is lost But something is found They will keep on speaking her name Some things change Some stay the same |

Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.In the middle of the road, You see the darnest things. Like fat cats driving around in jeeps through the city, Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits. Past corrugated tin shacks holed up with kids and Man I don't mean a Hampstead nursery. But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world, The babies just come with the scenery.Come on baby, Get in the road. Come on now, In the middle of the road, yeah.One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six.In the middle of the road, Is my private cul de sac. I can't get from the cab to the curb, Without some little jerk on my back, Don't harass me kid, Can't you tell I'm going home, I'm tired as hell, I'm not the cat I used to be, I've got a kid, I'm thirty-three baby.

Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it They say, "Hey, you can't live without it" Welcome to the human race With its wars, disease and brutality You with your innocence and grace Restore some pride and dignity To a world in decline Welcome to a special place In a heart of stone that's cold and gray You with your angel face Keep the despair at bay Send it away, and Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it I don't want to live without it I don't want to live without it Oh, I want love I want love I want love Welcome here from outer space The Milky Way is still in your eyes You found yourself a hopeless case One that's seeking perfection on earth That's some kind of rebirth, so Show me the meaning of the word Show me the meaning of the word 'Cause I've heard so much about it Don't make me live without it Oh, love I want love I want Love I want love |

It's a thin line between love and hate
It's a thin line between love and hate It's five o'clock in the morning And you're just getting in You knock on the front door And a voice sweet and low says Who is it? She opens up the door and lets you in Never once asks where have you been She says are you hungry? Did you eat yet? Let me hang up your coat Pass me your hat All the time she's smiling Never once raises her voice It's five o'clock in the morning You don't give it a second thought It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] The sweetest woman in the world Could be the meanest woman in the world If you make her that way You keep hurting her She'll keep being quiet She might be holding something inside That'll really, really hurt you one day I see her in the hospital Bandaged from foot to head In a state of shock Just that much from being dead You couldn't believe the girl Would do something like this, ha You didn't think the girl had the nerve But here you are I guess action speaks louder than words It's a thin line between love and hate [2x] |

When we get to tucson you'll see why We left the snowstorms and the thunder and rain For the desert sun, we're gonna be born again What's important in this world A little boy, a little girl Hush little darling, go to sleep Look out the window and count the sheep That dot the hillsides and the fields of wheat Across america as we cross america What's important here today The broken line on the highway All the love in the world for you, girl Thumbelina in a great big scary world All the love in the world for you, girl Take my hand and we'll make it through this world Hush little baby, my poor little thing You've been shuffled about like a pawned wedding ring It must seem strange, love was here then gone And the oklahoma sunrise becomes the amarillo dawn What's important in this life Ask the man who's lost his wife |

Nobody's perfect
Not even a perfect stranger But oh what a gal She was such a perfect stranger And you're the best in your field In your office with your girls And desk and leather chair Thought that time was on your side But now it's time the avenger Nobody's permanent Everything's on loan here Even your wife and kids Could be gone next year And with what you have left You'll be forever under pressure To support her And a lover who looks strangely Like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time, one more vodka and lime To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick Nobody's perfect Not even a perfect gent When your property took the a train I wonder where your manners went You were standing at the station In your briefcase Was your aftershave and underwear Can you hear the whistle blow? Sounds like time the avenger Time, time, hear the bells chime Over the harbor and the city Time to kill another bottle of wine To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick |

Oh, saturday night
Mmm, everyone's having fun I'm down at the laundromat Trying to get my washing done Like I done before Time and time again Watching the clothes go 'round Another week sees it's end Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Oh, I've been working hard Mmm, trying to make some money Would you like sour cream On your potato, honey? I been kissing ass Trying to keep it clean Serving the middle class Yeah, it's a clean routine Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round There go the whites Mmm, getting whiter There go the colors Getting brighter There go the delicates Through the final rinse There goes my saturday night I go without a fight Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round Watching the clothes go 'round |

I wrote a letter to you my friend
So many letters that I never send I think about you at the day's end The time that we had I laughed in my bed The stupid things you said We were two birds of paradise When I was a little girl With clay horses and lambs on the shelf I caught frogs in ditches, listened for elves My friends and I had a world unto ourselves No grownups could find us when we Made our plans so secretly To run away and fly to be With the two birds of paradise Now once upon a time my mind still there wanders Back in the room the things I remember One time when we took off our clothes But you were cryin', cryin' You said nothing lasts forever We were happy together I thought about you in stockholm and rome Me in my hotel room You in your home This is the life they say that Dreams are made of Don't forget Please do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Please don't forget Do forgive me I still have something you did give me Come into my dream with me and dream Oh dream of paradise |

Over the city, over tokyo Silver light, summer moon You'll be over somebody's winter this afternoon While the dolphins swim in the sea You're going grey, my baby Still the war is waging endlessly Day after day, day after day Way up in the sky Over the city and lake erie You remember the flats, you were there Out every night mr moonlight Round and round and round we go Just like yesterday Way up in the sky Over the city where you sleep tonight The light outside your window blinks Hotel, hotel, hotel Open the blind and dream in a moonbeam When the war's finally over We'll meet again And pick up where we left off |

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me Though you are far away I know you'll always be near to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I look around me And feel you are ever so close to me Each tear that flows from my eye Brings back memories of you to me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I was wrong, I will cry I will love you till the day I die You were all, you alone and no one else You were meant for me When morning comes again I have the loneliness you left me Each day drags by Until finally my time descends on me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me I go to sleep, sleep And imagine that you're there with me |

As man and woman Is to love each other Take care of each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good, good Like brigitte bardot Now look at the people In the streets, in the bars We are all of us in the gutter But some of us are looking at the stars Look round the room Life is unkind We fall but we keep gettin' up Over and over and over and over and over and over Me and you, every night, every day We'll be together always this way Your eyes are blue like the heavens above Talk to me darlin' with a message of love Now the reason we're here Every man, every woman Is to help each other Stand by each other When love walks in the room Everybody stand up Oh it's good, good good Say I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you, I love you Talk to me darlin' |
