It is so hard to cover a song that is strongly identified with one artist as this song is. And yet, Chrissie does it spectacularly well, totally gives it her unique sound and makes it seem so easy. Bravo!
Lyrics: Trudging slowly over wet sand. Back to the bench where your clothes were stolen This is the coastal town. That they forgot to close down Armageddon - come, Armageddon Come, Armageddon, come Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Hide on the promenade Etch a postcard How I dearly wish I was not here In the seaside town That they forgot to bomb Come, come, come, nuclear bomb Everyday is like Sunday Everyday is silent and grey Trudging back over pebbles and sand...
Many years ago I saw an unplugged concert with her, here in the portuguese television. I was positively impressed with her ability to cover several songs from different artists. It was an intimate and quite pleasant concert.
pretenders are not my favourite band and i prefer morrisey but chrissy hynde as one of the greatest voice i have heard she can sing anything and this cover is very good .
Morrissey once called this cover "astonishingly good". He and Chrissie are mates! Both were seen together last week at Ronnie Scott's in Soho/London watching the birllaint Mary Coughlan.
Greased Tea is the kind of Tea you get served in some run down cafe, and cheap trays are often given as prizes in seaside town prize bingo halls.....ok ?
Chrissie beats the crap out of Natalie Merchant easy. I saw 10k maniacs once and they reminded me of a boring holiday inn cover band so I left after a few songs zzzz....
Morrissey brought this song on a tour and played it before he came out. He has said of it "astonishingly good". As for 10K Maniacs, he did not like that version and then wrote "Have a go Merchant"....
@FoxIslandman You're right. Intensely dislike. I find Natalie Merchant to be a very affected singer and an undistinguished writer. She wears her 'sensitivity' like a medal and it's cloying. If you ever listen to Sandy Denny, you'll hear she ripped off her entire vocal style from her.
@lyonslaforet if you are looking for the audio version, it was the b-side to "Candy Everybody Wants" cd maxi single thing also w/ R.E.M.'s "(Don't Go Back To) Rockville" ... I think
I have heard the original and I like this better, it just sounds better with a female singing it and I like their arrangement better... it's true to the original but more pleasing.
@macatti i dare say this version is as equal as that of 10000 maniacs. the song got more sexier ^_^ but i agree to a point well..its to be so..any original song is the best and the Pretenders and 10000 Maniacs made the finest of the finest version covers for this song ^_^
Chrissie Hynde rules.
