1. I watched her falling to the ground
And saw the glass go flying

2. Now with passion in our eyes
There's no way we could disguise it

3. Baby seems we never ever agree
You like the movies
And I like TV

4. You're shying away
I'll be coming for you anyway

5. Hoping for the best
But expecting the worst

6. Hop in my Chrysler, it's as big as a whale and it's about to set sail!

7. Strange voices are saying
Things I can't understand

8. All the cops in the donut shop say:
Way-oh-way-oh-way-ooo-aaa-ooo...

9. Because the man from Mars stopped eating cars
And eating bars
And now he only eats guitars

10. Just turn around now
You're not welcome anymore

11. Exactly who'm I'm supposed to be
Don't you know which clothes even fit me?

12. She calls out to the man on the street
"Sir can you help me?"

13. Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream
Red gold and green, red gold and green

14. When I die and they lay me to rest
Gonna go to the place that's the best

15. We're leaving together
But still it's farewell

16. I want to breathe in the open wind
I want to kiss like lovers do

17. Er war ein Punker
Und er lebte in der groáen Stadt

18. I'll protect you from the hooded claw
Keep the vampires from your door

19. Strapped in the chair of the city's gas chamber
Why I'm here I can't quite remember

20. You were working as a waitress in a cocktail bar
When I met you

21. But my friend you have seen nothin'
Just wait 'till I get trough...

22. Pope Paul, Malcolm X, British politician sex
JFK, blown away, what else do I have to say

23. Once I never could hope to win
You starting down the road leaving me again

24. And as the tears run freely
How I realise they were the best years of my life

25. Hey girl, move a little closer

26. Wouldn't it be good to be on your side
The grass is always greener over there

27. Her hair is Harlowe gold
Her lips sweet surprise

28. Some boy take a beautiful girl
And hide her away from the rest of the world

29. Been working so hard, out punching my card

30. I fell in love with San Pedro
Warm wind carried on the sea, he called to me

31. Lying in a den in Bombay
With a slack jaw, and not much to say

32. Mama's dancin', there's baby on her sholder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky

33. Hast du etwas zeit fur mich
Dan singe ich ein Lied fur dich

34. All the flowers that u planted mama
In the backyard

35. Are you happy, are you satisfied
How long can you stand the heat

36. I ain't afraid of no ghost

37. Too many shadows, wispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices

38. Dream if you can a courtyard
An ocean of violets in bloom

39. I see neon lights
Whenever you walk by

40. Lay a whisper on my pillow
Leave the winter on the ground

41. I follow the Moskva
Down to Gorky Park

42. Say you don't know me, or recognize my face
Say you don't care who goes to that kind of place

43. I don't drink cofee, I take tea my dear

44. Hurry boy, she's waiting there for you

45. Where have all the good men gone, where are all the Gods

46. If you hear something late at night
Some kind of trouble, some kind of fight

47. Feel the rain like an English summer
Hear the notes from a distant song

48. God bless Mother Nature
She's a single woman too

49. Have some more yogurt, have some more Spam.
It doesn't matter if it's fresh or canned.

50. But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again

51. No April rain, no flowers bloom
No wedding Saturday within the month of June

52. Since you've been gone
I shut my eyes and I fantasize that you're here with me

53. Well he was Thailand based
She was an airforce wife

54. Planes are crashing out of control
And all in all I think you've lost him forever

55. I've never felt good with permanent things
Now I don't want anything to change


Give your best shot!

AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!!! I KNEW I knew #44 and #52!!! I kept singing the lines in different ways to try to jar the cobwebs outta my brain!!!
The rest, most of them I never heard the song, I NEVER liked The Pretenders so I pretty much ignored anything they put out. Last Christmas and It's Raining Men I have heard but just didn't know the words.
