PRETENDERS - Middle Of The Road V. 1 lyrics

rate me

Version one<br><br>The middle of the road is trying to find me<br>I'm standing in the middle of life with my plans behind me<br>Well I got a smile for everyone I meet<br>As long as you don't try dragging my bay<br>Or dropping the bomb on my street<br><br>Now come on baby<br>Get in the road<br>Oh come on now<br>In the middle of the road, yeah<br><br>In the middle of the road you see the darndest things<br>Like fat guys driving 'round in jeeps through the city<br>Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits<br>Past corrugated tin shacks full up with kids<br>Oh man I don't mean a hampstead nursery<br>When you own a big chunk of the bloody third world<br>The babies just come with the scenery<br><br>Oh come on baby<br>Get in the road<br>Oh come on now<br>In the middle of the road, yeah<br><br>One...two...three...four...<br><br>The middle of the road is no private cul-de-sac<br>I can't get from the cab to the curb<br>Without some little jerk on my back<br>Don't harass me, can't you tell<br>I'm going home, I'm tired as hell<br>I'm not the cat I used to be<br>I got a kid, I'm thirty-three<br><br>Baby, get in the road<br>Come on now<br>In the middle of the road<br>Yeah
