FOO FIGHTERS

'THE PRETENDER'

Keep you in the dark you know they all pretend

keep you in the dark and saw it all begin

Send in your skeletons

sing as the bones come marchin’in again

the knee you buried deep

the secrets that you keep are ever ready

are you ready?

I’m finished making sense

done pleading ignorance

that whole defense

spending this energy

but the wheel that’s spinnin me is never ending,

never ending

same old story

What if I say you’re not like the others

what if I you’re not just another one

look at your face,

you’re the pretender

what if I say I’ll never surrender (x2)

In time I’m so I’m told

I’m just another soul for sale, oh well

he pages I repress

they are not permanent, they are temporary, same old story

What if I say you’re not like the others
what if I you’re not just another one
look at your face,
you’re the pretender
what if I say I’ll never surrender (x2)

I’m the voice inside your head you refuse to hear

I’m the face you have to face mirroring yourself

I’m what’s left, I’m what’s right, I’m the enemy

I’m the hand that takes you down

and brings you to your knees

So who are you, yeah who are you,

yeah who are you, yeah who are you

even in the dark, you know they all pretend

What if I say you’re not like the others

what if I you’re not just another one

look at your face,

you’re the pretender

what if I say I’ll never surrender

What if I say you’re not like the others

(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)

what if I you’re not just another one

(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)

look at your face, you’re the pretender

(even in the dark, you know they all pretend)

what if I say I’ll never surrender (x3)

So who are you

yeah who are you

yeah who are you

eah who are you...

Gran història la d'aquesta cançó... La vaig escoltar a la P4 Norge de la ràdio Noruega i em va enganxar (no sabia de què anava la lletra, eh; encara no m'he tornat satànica ni res per l'estil, no patiu!). A la tornada, no vaig parar fins aconseguir saber-ne el grup i el títol. Finalment, quién la sigue, la consigue. I aquí està.
