[00:00.00] Jackson Browne - The Pretender
[00:17.03]
[00:19.03] I'm going to rent myself a house
[00:23.11] In the shade of the freeway
[00:29.14] I'm going to pack my lunch in the morning
[00:33.51] And go to work each day
[00:38.31] And when the evening rolls around
[00:42.91] I'll go on home and lay my body down
[00:47.55] And when the morning light comes streaming in
[00:51.77] I'll get up and do it again
[00:55.09] Amen
[00:56.74] Say it again
[00:58.77] Amen
[01:00.00]
[01:01.78] I want to know what became of the changes
[01:06.14] We waited for love to bring
[01:11.70] Were they only the fitful dreams
[01:14.98] Of some greater awakening
[01:21.17] I've been aware of the time going by
[01:25.51] They say in the end it's the wink of an eye
[01:30.43] And when the morning light comes streaming in
[01:34.39] You'll get up and do it again
[01:37.53] Amen
[01:38.69]
[01:43.92] Caught between the longing for love
[01:47.15] And the struggle for the legal tender
[01:54.08] Where the sirens sing and the church bells ring
[01:58.78] And the junk man pounds his fender
[02:03.65] Where the veterans dream of the fight
[02:08.03] Fast asleep at the traffic light
[02:12.84] And the children solemnly wait
[02:16.24] For the ice cream vendor
[02:21.31] Out into the cool of the evening
[02:25.09] Strolls the Pretender
[02:31.22] He knows that all his hopes and dreams
[02:35.92] Begin and end there
[02:38.11]
[02:46.77] Ah the laughter of the lovers
[02:50.26] As they run through the night
[02:56.20] Leaving nothing for the others
[02:59.24] But to choose off and fight
[03:03.61] And tear at the world with all their might
[03:08.73] While the ships bearing their dreams
[03:12.19] Sail out of sight
[03:14.29]
[03:17.97] I'm going to find myself a girl
[03:22.14] Who can show me what laughter means
[03:27.66] And we'll fill in the missing colors
[03:31.64] In each other's paint-by-number dreams
[03:37.13] And then we'll put out dark glasses on
[03:41.64] And we'll make love until our strength is gone
[03:46.30] And when the morning light comes streaming in
[03:50.37] We'll get up and do it again
[03:55.38] Get it up again
[03:56.69]
[03:59.85] I'm going to be a happy idiot
[04:03.34] And struggle for the legal tender
[04:09.95] Where the ads take aim and lay their claim
[04:14.84] To the heart and the soul of the spender
[04:18.92] And believe in whatever may lie
[04:23.53] In those things that money can buy
[04:28.19] Thought true love could have been a contender
[04:37.56] Are you there?
[04:40.84] Say a prayer for the Pretender
[04:47.12] Who started out so young and strong
[04:50.78] Only to surrender
[04:54.01]
