The Pretenders are an English-American rock band formed in Hereford, England in March 1978. The original band comprised initiator and main songwriter Chrissie Hynde (lead vocals, rhythm guitar), James Honeyman-Scott (lead guitar, backing vocals, keyboards), Pete Farndon (bass guitar, backing vocals), and Martin Chambers (drums, backing vocals, percussion). The band has experienced drug-related deaths of the members, and numerous subsequent personnel changes have taken place over the years, with Hynde and Chambers as the remaining original members. more »

Nobody's perfect 
Not even a perfect stranger 
But oh what a gal 
She was such a perfect stranger 
And you're the best in your field 
In your office with your girls 
And desk and leather chair 
Thought that time was on your side 
But now it's time the avenger

Nobody's permanent 
Everything's on loan here 
Even your wife and kids 
Could be gone next year 
And with what you have left 
You'll be forever under pressure 
To support her 
And a lover who looks strangely 
Like time the avenger

Time, time, hear the bells chime 
Over the harbor and the city 
Time, one more vodka and lime 
To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick

Nobody's perfect 
Not even a perfect gent 
When your property took the a train 
I wonder where your manners went 
You were standing at the station 
In your briefcase 
Was your aftershave and underwear 
Can you hear the whistle blow? 
Sounds like time the avenger

Time, time, hear the bells chime 
Over the harbor and the city 
Time to kill another bottle of wine 
To help paralyze that tiny little tick, tick, tick, tick
