The Pretenders Glastonbury

Greetings, people from Worthy Farm. It is Glastonbury 2017. We say the

same things every year. It is amazing, it is the biggest, it is

the best, there is nowhere else like it. But you mean it. We will bring

you some of the best acts across the festival, including tonight. It is a

great little smorgasbord of the light. We have Dizzee Rascal, Kris

Kristofferson, Royal Blood and a secret act I can't tell you about.

Stay tuned, in other words. We are going to start off with a band, I

don't want to call them a heritage act, because even though they have

been around a long time, there are new stuff is just as good as their

illustrious back catalogue. Led by one of the characters of rock and

roll. The inimitable Chrissie Hynde. Still so-called. We were lucky to

have them open for us. This is The Pretenders.

What a pleasure it is to be back at Glastonbury. Are you with me, girls?

Fellers? You know what I like. # But some of us are

looking at the stars # Over and over and over

and over and over and over # Your eyes are blue

like the heavens above # Talk to me, darlin',

with a message of love # Say I love you, I love you,

You guys in pink wigs, do you want to dance with me?

# Who can explain the thunder and rain?

# I might be great tomorrow. # But hopeless yesterday.

# I've heard it's lined with the things you don't show

# They will keep on speaking her name

# They will keep on speaking her name

# They will keep on speaking her name

CHEERING. Thank you!

# Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

# Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

# I gotta have some of your attention give it to me

# Gonna make you, make you, make you notice

# I gotta have some of your attention

# I gotta have some of your attention

# Yes, it's time for you to stop all of your sobbing, oh-oh-oh

# It is time for you to laugh instead of crying

# Yes, it's time for you to laugh, so keep on trying, oh-oh-oh

# Each little tear that falls from your eyes

# To take you in my arms and tell you

# And there's one thing you gotta know

People don't know this is by us because it has been done on reality

# When you're standing at the crossroads

# And don't know which path to choose

# Take me deep enyour darkest hour # And I'll never desert you

# I'll Stand By You. # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

# I found a picture of you, oh, oh, oh, oh

# We've been cast out of, oh, oh, oh, oh

# A circumstance beyond our control, oh, oh, oh, oh

# The phone, the TV, and the news of the world

# Got in the house like a pigeon from hell, oh, oh, oh, oh

# Threw sand in our eyes and descended like flies

# When I see what they've done to you

# I found a picture of you, oh, oh, oh, oh

# Those were the happiest days of my life

# Like a break in the battle was your part, oh, oh, oh, oh

# In the wretched life of a lonely heart

# Oh... # Oh... #

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE # Come on now

# In the middle of the road #

In the middle of the road # You see the strangest things

# Like fat guys driving round # In jeeps through the city

# Wearing big diamond rings and silk suits

# Past tin Chabals full up with kids # Oh man I doesn't mean a Hampstead

nursery # When you own a big chunk of the

Third World # Come on baby

# Get in the road # Oh come on now

# In the middle of the road, yeah # Yeah,

Middle of the road # Is no private cul-de-sac

# I can't get from the cab to the kerb

# Without some little jerk on my back

# Don't harass me can't you tell # I'm going home

# I'm not the cat I used to # I got a kid, I'm 33.

# Baby get in the road. Come on now # In the middle of the road

# Yeah. # CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Thank you,

thank you Glastonbury. Brexit means Brexit.

We did it! To pretend that it's going to be

plain sailing is such
