Pretender Lyrics

You have a heart all full of danger

Another leather kid on the street

Animal style and a knife edge smile

You are always thinking fast on your feet

You will try to get away with murder

And your time is always taken as misspent

You have an attitude for troubled minds

And anger that is bubbling and due to vent

You walk like a caged panther

All swagger teeth and snarl

You aren't yet quite legal

Yet you call all the barmaids Darl

You can't get your licence

Yet you own your motorbike

You are angry and oh so sexless

Your friends all call you Spike

The girls all know you are trouble

There is no getting out of that

I hate to burst your bubble

But you ain't no alley cat

You are mediocre childhood angst

With no outlet for your style

One night just try to settle down

Find a girl to go the extra mile

Oh the stories you will tell

On how you walked a mile in hell

Oh if only they could see you

Tucked up at home in bed

The boys that you run with

Would soon lop off your head

You are the great pretender

Getting by on style and luck

But just remember child

You may act wild

But nobody gives a fuck

The girls all know you are trouble

There is no getting out of that

I hate to burst your bubble

But you ain't no alley cat

You are mediocre childhood angst

With no outlet for your style

One night just try to settle down

Find a girl to go the extra mile

Oh the stories you will tell

On how you walked a mile in hell

Oh if only they could see you

Tucked up at home in bed

The boys that you run with

Would soon lop off your head

You are the great pretender

Getting by on style and luck

But just remember child

You may act wild

But nobody gives a fuck

But nobody gives a fuck

You have a heart all full of danger

Another leather kid on the street

Animal style and a knife edge smile

You are always thinking fast on your feet

You will try to get away with murder

And your time is always taken as misspent

You have an attitude for troubled minds

And anger that is bubbling and due to vent

How hot was it in Hell
