@mapple432 she did say that but its not apparant from the lyrics it could be a bout a kid that is going down with the titanic there is no verse that goes " i got knocked up and nobody knows who the father is wo wo wo wo maybe you have aids and youll be dead next year chrisie hynde speaks her mind wo wo wo wo"
"It is not one man nor a million, but the spirit of liberty that must be preserved. The waves which dash upon the shore are, one by one, broken, but the ocean conquers nevertheless. It overwhelms the Armada, it wears out the rock. In like manner, whatever the struggle of individuals, the great cause will gather strength"
Even listening to this record today, after all the stunts and gimmicks and bullshit from a thousand other performers, it still sounds entirely original and unique.
@bruce958c Beatles are my fave all time but as judging by the times, this is one of the BEST debut albums ever and I'll make a nod to Appetite too, listed above but just consider the era and popular mood at the time and they fit great for that time but still remain fantastic today.
@bruce958c There are MANY debut albums better than the first Beatles LP. This is just one of them. Even in the 60's, there were better debuts: Are You Experienced?, The Velvet Underground & Nico, and The Doors, for three.

Chrissie says this song is about what happens when a child finds out his mother is a prostitute.

THANK YOU!!! I've been hoping this brilliant track and vid would be posted.
Elvis Costello noted that this track and its writer, Pretender's leader Chrissie Hynde, are too sublime.

Isn't it just so great? Is it too obvious to say how phenomenal the vocals are? I mean, Chrissie Hynde is amazing!
