We grabbed the opportunity to see The Pretenders at Mountain Winery in Saratoga, California. It’s our favorite open-air venue. There isn’t a seating area to avoid, great acoustics, intimate setting….
Sadly, this was an event that prohibited pictures. So, we’ll only post a Pretenders song, and not one played at Mountain Winery. “Private Life” was written by Chrissie Hynde in 1980. That year, it was covered by Jamaican singer Grace Jones. But we favor the The Pretenders’ version.
Lyrics of “Private Life” by The Pretenders
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me
J'ai les glands with your theatrics, your acting’s a drag
It's okay on T.V., 'cause you can turn it off
But don't try me
Yes, your marriage is a tragedy, but it's not my concern
I'm very superficial
I hate anything official
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone and now me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone and now me – Stop!)
Your sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
Attachment to obligation through guilt and regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me)
You ask me for my advice, I say, “Use the door.”
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Private life, private life, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me)
[Instrumental bridge]
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Private life, private life, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
(You've been lying to someone about me – Stop!)
Oh you’re mean
