Hi,
I need some help with lyrics to this one. I only got the first verse,
someone got the second and third ? Almost impossible for me to hear what
Chrissy Hynde is singing.

If someone have the solo as well, great !

e-mails appreciated

Regards/Stefan

(this is from memory, sorry if any mistakes)

        or dropping a bomb on my street
