1.Downtown
Get to the heart
Baby, the heart of the city
Meet me in a fire fight
Of lusty boys in candlelight
Beat to the heart, baby the heart of the city
Veins pop and cry for more
And lick it off the killing floor
D-d-d-downtown c'mon

D-d-d-d-downtown akron!
Move to the beat. baby the beat of the city

Glorify my oozing head
And raise me from the living dead
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-d-downtown akron!
Downtown me - baby strip me
Chop me, adopt me, bend me like a rubber dolly
Downtown me - demolition me
Raise me, appraise me, the portage hotel and me
Downtown me - with a lobotomy
Take me to the cuyahoga valley and make a man of me
Get to the heart, baby the heart of the city
Say you love it when you shove it
Don't be sentimental
Move to the heart, baby - the heart of the city
This is where the future lies
Beneath the burning sulphur skies
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-downtown c'mon
D-d-d-d-downtown akron!
2.Hold A Candle To This
So much for banning the bomb
The president's wife is carrying a hand gun
If you want blood sports for fun now
They call me 'the hunter' - better run now
You hear a 'crack' in the distance baby
Your phoney mating calls' resistance maybe
Don't smile - we're gonna get you
We'll have your rifle off you too
Gimme a kiss
And hold a candle to this!
Foxy lady dressed to kill
You say you won't but you will
What's on your face and your breath mama？
You wear your glory or death mama
But liberation's on the way
Every dog's gonna have it's day
Pack up your rape racks and crush box out of hell
Farmer in the dell
Oh please i insist
Hold a candle to this!
Bring on the ecstasy!
And the bliss
Bring on my wedding day
And everybody's birthday
Blow up the abbatoir!
Detonate!
We're going home
Where the buffalo roam!
There's a new generation
From osaka, siam and saigon
The sailors mixed it on the shore
They were making love and making war
Well here's a present for the navy
Same meat -different gravy
Those chicks will find you - that's for sure
1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - tell the people what she wore!
(you're american miss)
Hold a candle to this!
3.If There Was A Man
If there was a man i could dream of
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man i could ever love
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you
All my life i have been waiting
Never taking any chances, always hesitating
Where's the prayer, where's the glory
Where's the one i'm holding out for
When's he walking through the door
The one that you walked through
If he isn't you
If there was a man i could dream of
I'd dream about a dream come true
If there was a man i could ever love
I'd wait a million years for someone just like you
Happy endings never find me
I put all my fantasies and hopes of love behind me
Saw my moments overdoomed but
If there was a man out there for me
I wish it would be
Someone who could love me too
If someone was you
4.No Guarantee

7.Middle Of The Road
The Pretenders
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
Middle of the road is trying to find me
IÂ'm standing in the middle of life with my pains behind me
I got a smile for everyone I meet
As long as you donÂ't try dragging my bay
Or dropping a bomb on my street
Lets come on baby
Get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah
(Ooh, ooh)
The middle of the road you see the darndest 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 donÂ't mean a Hampstead nursery
But when you own a big chunk of the bloody third world
The babies just come with the scenery
Lets come on baby
Mmm, get in the road
Oh come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah
One, two, three, four, five, six
(Ooh, ooh)
(Ooh, ooh)
The middle of the road is my private cul-de-sac
(Ooh, ooh)
I canÂ't get from the cab on to the curb
Without some little jerk on my back
DonÂ't harass me, canÂ't you tell IÂ'm going home？
IÂ'm tired as Hell
IÂ'm not the cat I used to be
I got a kid at thirty three, baby
Get in the road
Come on now
In the middle of the road, yeah
Trrr
8.Not A Second Time
The Pretenders
You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you
And now you've changed your mind
I see no reason to change mine
I cry it's through, oh
You're giving me the same old line
I'm wondering why
You hurt me then you're back again
No, no, no, not a second time
You know you made me cry
I see no use in wondering why
I cry for you, yea
And now you've changed your mind

The Pretenders
Let me stay one more day
It would mean so much to me
(Ahh)
I won't make a sound
(Ahh)
I'll just hang around
(Ahh)
I'll sit where the last one sat
But oh no, I'd never do that
Take my mouth as far as you can see
It stretches farther than I care to think
Put me out of my misery
(Ahh)
If I could keep it shut
(Ahh)
I wouldn't be in this rut
(Ahh)
With less chance than a laboratory rat
Oh no, I'd never do that
You're a master of illusion
You say you do but you don't
You think I will, I know I won't
When I see you sitting there
It sends a shock right through me
Never thought an ordinary chair
Could have such poetry
(Ahh)
I don't deserve your time
(Ahh)
I haven't got the tact
(Ahh)
I live above my means in fact
Oh no, I'd never do that
Never do that
Never do that
I'd never do that
10.Let's Make A Pact
The Pretenders

Fill me up with glimpses of you, let the music begin
Oh oh oh

Let's make a pact
One we'll never take back
Let me prove that I'm true
Let's make a pact
Alter me
hange could only do me good
Others have tried to and failed I wish that somebody could
Oh oh oh
Do what no one can do
Let's make a pact
One we'll never take back
Let me prove that I'm true
Let's make a pact, yeah
Take me to the world and let me wonder at the view
Set me off in motion and let me dance
After twenty years of doubt and then a week with you
I'm ready baby, follow through
Cover me in dirt
And leave me to the wind and the rain
If I should ever hurt the one who made me human again
Oh oh oh
Take me to the Altar
Let's make a pact
One we'll never take back
Let me prove that I'm true
Let's make a pact
Let me prove that I'm true
Let's make a pact
Let me prove that I'm true
Let's make a pact

12.One Thing Never Changed
The Pretenders
That old train keeps blowing
Through the center of this town
Restores my faith
When the chips are down
It don't take no passengers
Since the streets got rearranged
But that whistle still blows
'Cause one thing never changed
The boy I was loving
Had to say so long
Back to a world
I don't belong
Affected me so
You could say I was deranged
But that whistle's gonna blow
'Cause one thing never changed
Speak to me
Speak to me again
Speak to me
Speak to me again
That old train keeps blowing
I can hear it in the night
I hold onto myself
It's gonna be alright
And people come and go
Like cars changing lanes
But that whistle's gonna blow
'Cause one thing never changed
'Cause one thing never changed
13.Lie to Me
The Pretenders
That's not honest nothing you've said
Why don't you tell someone, who'll believe you instead？
'Cause I got this feeling is it what they call deja vu？
I'm nodding my head yeah but I don't believe you
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again, oh
I don't even care, so there's nothing to defend
It's so longwinded like a story without an end
This elaborate yorn you left behind like a breadcrumb trail
It's too hard to find the way out of your fairytale
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
And you say that you're my friend and you take me to your bed
As somebody else instead and I wonder where you've been
And the other one began if you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, oh
Don't take me there oh please I do thee implore
Spare me the details the entrails and the gore
I can see there's a point you want to drage me in
To impress me and depress me with your web of sin
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
If you lie to me again, if you lie to me again
If you
14.Time
The Pretenders
Oh yeah, you're always welcome
To stop on by, I'll be there baby
To get you high, you're thinking maybe
This one's for real, you don't know, how good you feel
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time, yes I will
Come on in, we can be free
No one will be here, an' one will see
It's nobody's business, what we do
You want me, baby I want you, oh baby
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time, yes I will
Life is too tough, to work all day
What does it cost, to earn your pay？
If the man is breaking your will
He won't reward you, but I will oh baby
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time oh yeah
Here we go, here we go again
Gimme some time, real good time
Gimme some time, time
Gimme some time yeah, gimme some time oh yeah
Gimme some time yeah, time
Gimme some time yeah, gimme some time oh
Gimme some time yeah, time
Gimme some time yeah, gimme some time oh yeah
Gimme some time, time, yes I will
Here we go, here we go again
15.Goodbye
The Pretenders
I remember holding on to you
All them long and lonely nights I put you through
Some where in there I'm sure I made you cry
But I can't remember if we said, goodbye
I recalled all them nights down in Mexico
The one place I might never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just to hide？
But I can't remember if we said, goodbye
I only miss you every now and then
Like the soft breeze blowin' on from the Caribbean
Each November I break down and cry
But I can't remember if we said, goodbye
I recalled all them nights down in Mexico
the one place I might never go in my life again
Was I just off somewhere just to hide？
But I can't remember if we said, goodbye
Goodbye
16.Loving You Is All I Know
The Pretenders
I don't understand how the sun keeps shining
And I don't understand why the seasons change
And I don't have a clue what makes the river flow
Loving you is all I know
I can't tell you why stars come out in the evening
And I can't tell you where they go when they're gone
And I don't have a clue what makes a flower grow
Loving you is all I know
I don't know how the world keeps on spinning around
I don't know why the sky don't come falling down
I just know that I would die without your touch
I don't know what a time just to reach the shore
Just know that I'll need you for forever more
Knowing that, I guess I know it now
I can't really say if there is a heaven
But I feel like it's here when I feel you near me, baby
If angels are real, they must know how I feel
â~Cause loving you is all I know
17.Kinda Nice, I Like It
The Pretenders
You came to me but I was alone
Tried to drag me in to your danger zone
You told me things, got right inside
And showed me things I'd never tried
You got a hold, you wouldn't let go
You lied and lied and lied, it was a great big show
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
People talk, I hear them do it
They think they know, when I never knew it
You're a gigolo, I've heard it said
I've got a sweet name for you instead
They imagine what must give them a thrill？
They'll never know for sure but I will
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
Whispering is rude in public places
It's so obvious, written on their faces
They think, your taking me for a great big ride
But you know what's more？
They're probably right, I'm hoping on with you tonight
You take me up and let me down
Don't like my friends to come around
If your not center of the stage
You sulk and rant and go into a rage
Oh, but I can leave at any time
But I'd miss the oh, so absurd and so sublime
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
Everything about us looks wrong
But I swear, it feels right
18.Clean Up Woman
The Pretenders
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
Women think men belong in resorts
We watch the children, they watch the sports
A man wouldn't help us even if he could
While we clean up the mess
He's made of the neighborhood
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
Women refuse to witness the kill
Of man's safaris and his battles of will
She washes the wounds he sustains in his fight
She cradles him in her arms all night
Woman is there at the end of the day
She workin' as hard as a man can play
She carries the blame she doesn't deserve
She bears his name when he loses his nerve
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm the cleaning woman
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm the clean up woman
Here to clean up your mess
I'm here
I'm here to clean up your mess
I'm here to clean up your mess
19.I Should Of
The Pretenders
If I'd known then
If only I had known
What, where or when
I would of kept you on the phone
Hindsight is tough
It's so obvious
Never enough for the two of us
I would of tried a little harder
I would have cried a little louder
I would have lied with more aplomb
I, I, I, I, I, I, I should have known
When we made love
Sometimes it was great
Just once or twice
I would have called it second rate
Anyway the days passed by in peace
I never thought
You needed more release
I should of tried a little harder
I, I should have cried a little louder
I should have lied with more aplomb
I, I, I, I, I, I, I should have known
If I had, if, if, if
(If I'd known then)
I should have, I should have
(I would of kept you on the phone)
I could have, I could have
(The days passed by in peace)
Oh fuck, I really miss you
I really miss you
I should have tried a little harder
I, I should have cried a whole lot louder
I, I should have lied with more aplomb
I, I, if only I, I should have known
20.Nothing Breaks Like A Heart
The Pretenders
You don't love me anymore
I can feel it
But I want you more than before
So I conceal it
Walk on, walk on baby
Don't look back
This happy face is just a disguise
Oh baby, when love dies
Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart
When you walked out
At first I celebrated
But this footloose fancy
Free stuff's overrated
Oh, I got my way
Now I'm free to roam
These tears of laughter are just lies
Oh baby, when love dies
Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, oh, oh, I feel so bad, bad, bad
Oh, oh, oh, I'm so sad, sad, sad
I wasn't this shook in the L.A. earthquake
How much one heart break？
You don't love me anymore
I can feel it
But I want you more than before
So I conceal it
Walk on, walk on baby
Don't look back
This crumbling heart is no surprise
Oh baby, when love dies
Nothing breaks like a heart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Glass shatters, even cars fall apart
Nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, nothing breaks like a heart
Oh, nothing breaks like a heart
21.Everyday Is Like Sunday
The Pretenders
Trudging slowly over wet sand, back to the bench
Where your clothes were stolen
This is the coastal town that they forgot to close down
Armageddon, come Armageddon, come Armageddon, come
Everyday is like Sunday, everyday is silent and gray
Hide on the promenade scratch out a postcard
And how I dearly wish I was not here
In the seaside town that they forgot to bomb
Come, come, come, nuclear bomb
Everyday is like Sunday, everyday is silent and gray
Trudging back over pebbles and sand
And a strange dust lands on your hands and on your face
On your face, on your face, on your face
Everyday is like Sunday, win yourself a cheap tray
Share some greased tea with me, everyday is silent and grey
Everyday is like Sunday, everyday is like Sunday
Everyday is like Sunday, everyday is like Sunday
22.Cuban Slide
The Pretenders
Remember the nights I cried
You were doing that old Cuban Slide
All night I tried and tried
I could not master the Cuban Slide
Remember the night I started to weep？
Under lights you did the 'creep'
That night, I could not sleep
Oh Lord, how goes the creep？
Ai, yi, ai, wanna dance but my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance would someone help me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance but my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ya
Last night I could not talk
On the street you did the Charring Cross walk
Up and down, I swoop and stalk
Only I can run but I can't walk
Ai, yi, ai, wanna dance but my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance would someone help me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance, my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ya
Remember the nights I cried
You were doing that old Cuban Slide
All night I tried and tried
I could not master the Cuban Slide
Ai, yi, ai, wanna dance but my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance, would someone help me
Ai, yi, ai, yi, wanna dance but my feet won't let me
Ai, yi, ya
Now dance
23.Angel of the Morning
The Pretenders
There'll be no strings to bind your hands
Not if my love can't bind your heart
And there's no need to take a stand
For it was I who chose to start
I see no reason to take me home
I am old enough to face the dawn
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away from me
Maybe the sun's light will be dim
So it won't matter anyhow
If morning's echo says we've sinned
Well, it was what I wanted now
And if we're victims of the night
I won't be blinded by the light
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, oh, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Then slowly turn away
I won't beg you to stay with me
Through the tears of the pain
Of the years, oh, baby, baby, baby, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby
Just call me angel of the morning, angel
Just touch my cheek before you leave me, baby, baby
Oh, baby
24.Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas
The Pretenders
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light
From now on, our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas, make the yuletide gay
From now on, our troubles will be miles away
Here were are as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more
Through the years we all will be together
If the fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough
And have yourself a merry little Christmas now
25.Creep (Live)
The Pretenders
You were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here？
I don't belong here
Even if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell I'm doing here？
I don't belong here, oh, oh
She's running out again
She's running out
She runs, runs, runs
Runs, runs, runs
Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want？
You're so fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep
I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here？
I don't belong here
I don't belong here
26.I'm Not In Love
The Pretenders
I'm not in love, so don't forget it
It's just a silly phase I'm going through
And just because I call you up
Don't get me wrong, don't think you've got it made
I'm not in love, no, no
It's because
I'd like to see you, but then again
That doesn't mean you mean that much to me
So if I call you, don't make a fuss
Don't tell your friends about the two of us
I'm not in love, no, no
It's because
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
Ooh, you'll wait a long time for me
Ooh, you'll wait a long time
I keep your picture upon the wall
It hides a nasty stain that's lying there
So don't you ask me to give it back
I know, you know it doesn't mean that much to me
I'm not in love
I'm not in love
Be quiet, big boys don't cry
Big boys don't cry
27.Reconsider Me
The Pretenders
If you're all alone and you need someone
Telephone and I'll come running
Reconsider me, reconsider me
If the past still makes you doubt
Darling, that was then and this is now
Reconsider me, reconsider me
And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I'll never make you sorry if you'll try
Let's let bygones be forgotten
Reconsider me, reconsider me
Reconsider me, reconsider me
You can go and be what you wanna be
It'll be alright if we disagree, I'm the one who cares
And I hope you'll see that I'm the one who loves you
Reconsider me
Let's let bygones be forgotten
Reconsider me, reconsider me
And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I'll never make you sorry if you'll try
And I'll never make you sad again
'Cause I swear that I've changed since then
And I promise that I'll never make you cry
28.Back Down
The Pretenders
I found a picture of you
What hijacked my world that night
To a place in the past
We've been cast out of？
Now we're back in the fight
We're back on the train
Back on the chain gang
A circumstance beyond our control
The phone, the TV and the news of the world
Got in the house like a pigeon from hell
Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies
Put us back on the train, back on the chain gang
The powers that be
That force us to live like we do
Bring me to my knees
When I see what they've done to you
But I'll die as I stand here today
Knowing that deep in my heart
They'll fall to ruin one day for making us part
I found a picture of you
Those were the happiest days of my life
Like a break in the battle was your part
In the wretched life of a lonely heart
Now we're back on the train, back on the chain gang
29.Get Out of London
The Pretenders
Hold tight, one day morning wake up yawning
Break an egg, bust my head, maybe it's a warning
Ring on the bell says it's half past eight
Keys in my tea, hey I'm gonna be late
I'm walking on the pavement skipping on the lines
So the bears won't eat me send me to the salt mines
Get on the bus but the bus don't start
My feet are sittin' down my head on the tire
I can't open the window 'cuz there ain't no sun
I think somebody's tellin' me to get out of London
My feet's keep movin' and I don't wear any socks
Can't stop singing, head ting a lingin'
I like my housetop, I think I hit a phone box
Makin' coffins out of bits of no woods
Sellin' tea to the council though I know it's no good to be a
trader
Collaborator, still I rather be a snitch then a cocktail waiter
Commit my crime now while I'm on my probation later
Okay alright I know I'm doin' wrong but save it till tomorrow
'Cuz I, get out of London
Last night I left my car keys I settled in to revers in a night
Of wed and bliss, I had a bee in my body tiger in my tan
I was on my maiden voyage spent my night with a saint
They call me jack of hearts did some one say a name
My mother was the queen of tarts my baby was a head slave
Parts sellin' records to the red manufacturer
I do myself in public just to get on the action turn to my face
see my
Race is run my cars on fire got to get out of London
Oh you don't wear a suit don't wear a smile
Don't wear my spikes said I only go the mile keep my hand on my
nine
My eye on my mind keep my heat at feet when I'm racin'
To the front line change bangs racin' on the bits of afar
So I rock my body to the sound of the box
The louder you scream the faster we go
It's an act of battery a boom, boom, boom hands
Still fluttering comin' down soon head banger
Judge thug night of fun slide on my knees
I got to get out of London park
Straight as a crow waiting for my treasure at the lottery
Blues in my pockets rain on the fair the weighs
Are buildin' blacks on a bit of an air
Facin' a photo a beauty is there tears on her cheek
She's livin' a nightmare turn the page to a brand new leaf
resolute
Psycho dude, time to be a z okay we do this tons of times
Keep out of sync singin' get out of London
Everybody in the lines stuck waitin' for the tube beg like a
puppy dog
Raise like a hedgehog when you come here
Let me tell you the truth tell you a wonder why
They make us look good party
For my friends so they wouldn't be lonely
They wouldn't let me in said it's membership only don't worry
bout me
'Cuz I'm doin' fine standin' on my head
And sittin' on a door mine we get crazy three times a day
I got to get out of London
