Released in 1979, this was a worldwide hit. The Pretenders, led by singer Chrissie Hinde, certainly knew how to write a hit song and produced many over their career.
Brass in Pocket
The Pretenders
I got brass in pocket
I got bottle, I’m gonna use it
Intentions, 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 make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my, imagination, oh…
‘Cause I, gonna make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special (special), so special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
I got rhythm, I can’t miss a beat
I got a new Skank, so reet
Got something, I’m winking at you
Gonna make you, make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms, gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style, gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my, imagination, oh…
‘Cause I, gonna make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special (special), so special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
‘Cause I, gonna make you see
There’s nobody else here, no one like me
I’m special (special), so special (special)
I gotta have some of your attention, give it to me
Oh… anyway you want
