Baby got your groove back another kind of life
One you assumed that you deserve
Nothing you should lack now
Reverting back to type
Never mind you lost your nerve
Yeah you had a go at
Sleeping in the van
But you couldn't let it go too far
Now you got a pension plan
And your name's on the insurance
And you can drive another woman's car
A kind of glamour
You can lend yourself
Like dark sunglasses
And you'll remember
How good it tasted
Inside the ruling classes
Wasted, behind your dark sunglasses
She's got a ball gown for charities and such
Like a débutante from days gone by
Shaving, wearing a tie, isn't sacrificing much
You lucky guy you can still get high
Yes sir, No sir
Sunday will be there
You only have to please that lady
Think anything you like
But be careful what you say
For another warm night, another dry day
A kind of glamour
You can lend yourself
Like dark sunglasses
You remember
How good it tasted
The ruling classes
Wasted behind your dark sunglasses
I'm not toein' the line
You'll be fine
I'm not toein' the line

You can lend yourself

Can't tell if Ms Hynde is condemning the person in the song or lamenting a period in her own life.
Perhaps both?

Stockholm has become one of my all time favorite albums. The songwriting, musicianship and production are exceptional. Chrissie at her best IMO.

A nice flip on the usual attitude that it's the woman who's kept. But be it a woman or a man in that position I suspect the undercurrent is much the same...."Think anything you like; but be careful what you say." Yes indeed. In fact, to go with a generalization, I'll bet this is the prevailing attitude for most everyone who works for anyone other than themselves....

Back to the lyrics. I'm lucky enough these days to often find myself, "... wasted behind my dark sunglasses." (Though never driving; see second paragraph. Drunk driving is NOT staying safe.)

The song is not too bad. However, considering this brain dead woman recently wrote in her autobiography that when she was raped it was her fault for wearing provocative clothing and acting immodest (I am not kidding, she did), well she can sink in despair and/or go bust for all I care.

If I go into a rough bar and start to flash around a lot of cash I don't think I deserve to be beaten up and robbed. However I would suggest I didn't use good judgment on staying safe. My understanding is her comments were comparable.
Personally I also don't believe abusing victims of a traumatic assault is a constructive way to behave, no matter what views they may express.
I wonder who the kept guy was in this song
Chrissie Hynde reading a grocery list gets a 5 from me. She's outlasted so many pretenders. The real deal!
The pretenders ( chrisie Hynde) made some absolutely outstanding songs ( go back to their original album... Sadly this is not one of them.
rock-n-roll!!!!!!
Chrissie,
Honey, you're still younger than I am, and you're still hot, hot, hot.

mmm, Chrissie in the morning and now in the afrternoon
Chrissie always gets an extra point from me. Just because she's Chrissie.
Gotta agree that she is allowed to say what she wants to say and she did say something not so politically correct. But get over it.
Are there any moderates out there ?

I do wish that folk wouldn't interpret the f*ck out of what rock stars say in unguarded informal interviews - it's that interpretation, and interpretation of interpretations, yea unto the Nth interpretation, that makes celebs get their PR folk to manage their public pronouncements to the point of terminal blandness. At least she was honest.

Quite liking this, but just noticed it reminding me of another tune (which also came as 'new' to me, through RP) -
Richard Thompson - Crawl Back Under My Stone
(at least i think that's what its called)
Now i'm going to have to go & find that & see if it really does, or not . . .

I absolutely loved the Pretenders first and second albums but each subsequent released I liked slightly less to the extent I hadn’t kept up with Chrissies later work. However after hearing tracks on Radio Paradise I bought this album. It is, without doubt, the best and most complete album I’ve bought this year packed with really strong tunes. If you like this track get the album its 5 star.

Surprisingly likeable tune. Dont usually like Chrissy Hinds tracks. Def like this one tho
Far too much AirPlay really sick of it
always been a huge fan of hers and of the pretenders. however much i love her voice, this song falls flat for me. i feel like it's being phoned in.

So does this mean the usual warbling is an affectation?
it shows good taste naming the album Stockholm!
GO Chrissie!

YES. Nice to hear that voice. Verdict still out on the song but she sounds good
We all love Chrissie, but this is beginning to remind me of when Blondie released Maria however many years ago it was, and I'm beginning to lose interest through overexposure. The rest of the album cannot come out soon enough, but in the mean time, how about a few more Pretenders classics? I know, I could get my own CDs out, but it's always such a treat when someone else chooses a track or two for you and it reaches you by surprise (and it's no surprise when it's the same track over and over again).
Tainted Love, for example, which came on after, is not a song I'd dig in my collection for these days (having heard it probably 15,000 times already), but as the last time I heard it must have been at least a year ago, part of me derived a modicum of joy at the recognition of the intro.
So roll on June 10th!
Age is no barrier to rockiness, spikiness and attitude. Chrissie sounds as good now as back in the Pretenders era, possibly better. 8 from the rockin' and smitten-anew Nottingham jury 
Maybe a bit overproduced, but Chrissie sounds pretty good! Also sounds better than most of the various Chrissie and post-198x Pretenders stuff I've heard
sounding so good, Chrissie 
Thanks for PSD than that Pretenders song you that has been soooo overplayed for unknown reasons.
wow. great photo. but imo much more attractive as a brunette, not that she'd care what i think.
IDK. I Agree with you!
