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 |

I don't want to feel ya I don't want to feel sad tonight You make me suffer and you just don't know Estoy barrochos down in new mexico I want to remember but I try to forget That scene in the car park that I still regret Just like before, times I've even lost track I ran away crawling 'cause I fall everytime I look back Miles, baby, hundreds of highways and truck stops I've used Cars, baby, hundreds of cars have passed and refused I stood on the shoulder with tears in my eyes I drank tequila and watched the game in the bar I don' t care who loses, I don't know who the teams are We had our time, but the bell's finally tolled My ohio winter was finally too cold |

Anger and lust my senses running amok
Bewildered and deluded, have I been hit by a truck? When my tongue lay inside his lip Felt like the time in the womb But I woke up with a headache that split my skull Alone in the room I got down on the floor with my head pressed between my knees Under the bed with my teeth sunk into my own flesh I said baby, oh sweetheart Lust turns to anger, a kiss to a slug Something was sticky on your shag rug, look at the tile I remember the way he groaned and moved with an animal skill I rubbed my face in the sweat that ran down his chest It was all very run of the mill But I noticed his scent started to change somehow His face went berserk and the veins bulged on his brow I said baby, oh sweetheart Bondage to lust, abuse of facility Blackmailed emotions confuse the demon and devotee I was sure his intentions were sweet And that mine was as well But a wish is a shot in the dark When your coin's down the well I got out in the hall with my teeth in my head Up to my neck and I said, said, said dead I said baby, oh sweetheart |

from The Pretenders, The Pretenders - Pretenders II [Reissue] [W/Interactive Booklet] (1981)
Take, take, take, takin' what you don't need
You'll get, get, gettin' what you don't need Stand back, take a look and take heed All the children in god's kingdom bleed See the networks of concrete and steel They've no mystery but what they reveal Tells a story of a future that's void Of the beauty and the majesty that life on Earth is meant to be Talk, talk, talk, talk about the government And not a word about political favour Everything touched is my political choice The life you take is your political voice The sacred cows come crashing to their knees Golden harvest reaped without intelligence There's no chance between the heavens and the seas In a blood bath don't laugh Grab your piece of golden calf Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not Do unto others as you wish be done to you There's a million lies 'round everything true You slaughter when you feast You disrespect the beast Make our beds and lie there, take your share Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Waste not want not pick it up Pick it up and eat it Waste not want not |
