Here's more interesting things in songs and lyrics tied to The Pretenders or about the 1990s in general.

Legalise me
Oh, I want the legal right to be me
Only me
Legalise me
Bail me, jail me
But they’re never gonna nail me
Pharmaceutically

I was sleeping like a baby in bed
When I woke up to a voice in my head
There’s no room here, try down the road is what I said
I’m just a farmer and I grow marijuana

Oh, baby doll
Could you tell that I liked that
Oh, baby doll
We’re gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

Legalise me
Oh, I gotta, gotta, gotta feel free
Really free
Legalise me
Wake me, shake me
If they’re gonna come and take me
Make it legally, yeah

I’ve been campaigning for the rights of the meek
Well, I’ve been holed up in a tree most of the week
Hey, sir, your crush boxes are starting to leak
They’re saying never
But we’ll wait here forever
And ever and ever and ever and ever and ever

Oh, baby doll
Could you tell that I liked that
Oh, baby doll
We’re gonna rattle your combinations
Up and down

And if I wanna shake my hair in the sun
Don’t try to flail me for offending anyone
I don’t take prozac and I’ll never own a gun
I’m just a farmer
But, I swear I’d never harm her

Oh, baby doll
Yeah
We’re gonna rattle your combinations, baby
