Time The Avenger Lyrics - Pretenders

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
