The Pretenders, "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
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
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
I like that Chrissie Hynde in the 1970s was environmentally-savvy enough to re-use her washing rinse water!
