"Brass in Pocket"
Misheard Lyrics: Got brass in pocket
Got Bardot, I'm gonna use it In tension, I feel it mountin' Gonna make you, make you, make you more tense Got motion, with strained emotion Been divin', deeter-leanin' No reason, just seems so prepared ... Gonna use my art Gonna use my legs Gonna use my style Gonna use my suds-save Gonna use my fingers Gonna use my, my, my allegin'-ation ... I gotta have some ill attention given to me Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat Got new scat - so reet Got something - I wink and I tell Original Lyrics: Got brass in pocket
Got bottle, I'm gonna use it Intention, I feel inventive Gonna make you, make you, make you notice Got motion, restrained emotion Been driving, Detroit leaning No reason, just seems so pleasing ... Gonna use my arms Gonna use my legs Gonna use my style Gonna use my side step Gonna use my fingers Gonna use my, my, my imagination ... I gotta have some of your attention - give it to me Got rhythm, I can't miss a beat Got new skank - so reet Got something - I'm winking at you | "Angel of the Morning"

"Brass In Pocket (I'm Special)"
The Nonsensical Lyrics: Got a new skank, so reet.
Why They're Nonsensical: Is Chrissie a lesbian because she has a new 'skank' (whatever that is)? And I suppose she uses 'reet' in the next phrase (rather than the usual word, "right"), because she wants to rhyme it with "can't miss a beat"... most of us don't know the word 'reet'!

"No Guarantee"
The Dirty Lyrics: Oh, guarantee when you're coming in me
You got a rubber on, baby Guarantee when I love you for free I'm gonna pay one day Oh, guarantee When you sock it to me When you punch it to me When you hook it to me When you knock it to me When you talk it to me You guarantee, my love Oh! Why They're Dirty: These lyrics are pretty self-explanatory. Some of them use boxing metaphors worthy of Muhammad Ali. The man has a rubber on. Right at the song's end, after some electric studio racket, Chrissie proclaims, "I knew you were rubbish!". Yeah, rubbish even when using a rubber. Go figure.

"Back On The Chain Gang"
The Lyrics: 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 fail to ruin one day For making us part Why: A Top five song for the Pretenders back in 1983, "Back On The Chain Gang" is such a depressing tune, but with a great dance hall style beat. The words read as though even when you succeed in love (which is definitely not a given in this song), it still feels like way too much work to deal with it. Makes you wonder why anyone would fall in love?
