Let's Make A Pact*


No particular reason for picking this,
bought Pretenders 'Packed!'-cd the other day for 3 euros.
This song was no. 2, and boy, did the gentle guitars sweep me off my feet already at the beginning. Together with Chrissie's sweet, gentle, mysterious voice it's like a soft bed,
makes you wanna fall asleep, and never get out of it.

Sorry Chris, I know you're too old.
But I think I love you.

Let's Make A Pact
Empty me,
like a dustman rids a rubbish bin.
Fill me up with glimpses of you,
let the music begin.
Oh oh oh,
take me to the altar.
Let's make a pact.
One we'll never take back.
Let me prove that I'm true.
Let's make a pact.

Alter me.
The change could only do me good.
Other have tried to and failed,
I wish that somebody could.
Oh oh oh,
do what no one can do.
Let's make a pact.
One we'll never take back.
Let me prove that I'm true.
Let's make a pact.

(bridge)

Take me to the world and let me wonder at the view.
Set me off in motion and let me dance.
After 20 years of doubt and then a week with you.
I'm ready baby - follow through!

Cover me in dirt,
and leave me to the wind and the rain.
If I should ever hurt,
the one who made me human again
Oh oh oh,
take me to the altar.
Let's make a pact.
One we'll never take back.
Let me prove that I'm true.
Let's make a pact.

Let me prove that I'm true.
Let's make a pact.


Let me prove that I'm true.
Let's make a pact.
