Jackson first gives an explanation of the song. Taken from a video I taped at Christmas 1994. Programme title Words and Music. Subtitle American writers. Enjoy. I have.Following a suggestion by RedKruzer I have added the Jackson's wonderful lyrics.I'm going to rent myself a houseIn the shade of the freewayI'm going to pack my lunch in the morningAnd go to work each dayAnd when the evening rolls aroundI'll go on home and lay my body downAnd when the morning light comes streaming inI'll get up and do it againAmenSay it againAmenI want to know what became of the changesWe waited for love to bringWere they only the fitful dreamsOf some greater awakeningIve been aware of the time going byThey say in the end its the wink of an eyeAnd when the morning light comes streaming inYou'll get up and do it againAmenCaught between the longing for loveAnd the struggle for the legal tenderWhere the sirens sing and the church bells ringAnd the junk man pounds his fenderWhere the veterans dream of the fightFast asleep at the traffic lightAnd the children solemnly waitFor the ice cream vendorOut into the cool of the eveningStrolls the pretenderHe knows that all his hopes and dreamsBegin and end thereAh the laughter of the loversAs they run through the nightLeaving nothing for the othersBut to choose off and fightAnd tear at the world with all their mightWhile the ships bearing their dreamsSail out of sightI'm going to find myself a girlWho can show me what laughter meansAnd well fill in the missing colorsIn each others paint-by-number dreamsAnd then well put out dark glasses onAnd well make love until our strength is goneAnd when the morning light comes streaming inWell get up and do it againGet it up againI'm going to be a happy idiotAnd struggle for the legal tenderWhere the ads take aim and lay their claimTo the heart and the soul of the spenderAnd believe in whatever may lieIn those things that money can buyThought true love could have been a contenderAre you there?Say a prayer for the pretenderWho started out so young and strongOnly to surrender

i think this song is a challenge, i'm 26 and i can relate to everything in this song, what a shame

As I sit here and hold back tears.....I had a friend who lied about everything in his life...and I am back at the beginning of the song...again....I love you,Jackson......"While the ships bearing their dreams sail out of sight"....30 years ago ...nothing has changed but, my age....

It's amazing to read all the comments of how this song touched so many people's lives. This was my theme song for years until I met my current wife, then I fulfilled the last verse, and now as the housing market dies a slow and painful death and tries to take my business with it, I find myself reliving the rest of the song; how ironic is that? It's hard to believe a song from 30+ years ago has encapsulated my entire life. Anyway, thanks JB, and I hope I can come back as you did.

This is one of the greatest songs of all time. The Pretender is in every human being at one time or another. ..."thought true love could have been a contender". Peace.

what the song means (at least to me) is having your long life dream so so close to coming true and having it gone in a heartbeat
