A while back someone gave me a web site for the Pretenders lyrics. I have since lost the site...and the lyrics...can anyone either post the lyrics or the site address. Thanks in advance.
Christine.

Here's how I hear it:

Brass in Pocket

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
I been driving, Detroit leanin'
No reason, just seems so pleasin'
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'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention, give it to me!

I got rhythm, I can't miss a beat
I got a new skank so reets
Got something, I'm winking at you,
Gonna make you, make you notice
Gonna use my arms,
Gonna use my legs,
Gonna use style,
Gonna use my sidestep,
Gonna use my fingers,
Gonna use my, my, my, imagination

'Cause I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here, no one like me
I'm special, so special
I got to have some of your attention,
Give it to me!

This is one tough song to figure out. The only line I know isn't right
is the "skank" and "reets" line and I welcome all suggestions!
