Kid what changed your mood
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to
Kid my only kid
You look so small you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped by hand
All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow
Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face
Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go
You've gone all sad so I feel sad too
I think I know some things we never outgrow
You think it's wrong
I can tell you do
How can I explain
When you don't want me to
Kid my only kid
You look so small you've gone so quiet
I know you know what I'm about
I won't deny it
But you forgive though you don't understand
You've turned your head
You've dropped by hand
All my sorrow, all my blues
All my sorrow
Shut the light, go away
Full of grace, you cover your face
Kid gracious kid
Your eyes are blue but you won't cry
I know angry tears are too dear
You won't let them go

One of the great LPs in rock history. And definitely one of the greatest debuts. KICKS ASS.
When I am feeling bad-ass, on top of the world, rebellious cool. with-it, on fire and I feel as though nothing in the world can stop me.....
I'm really pretending I am Chrissie Hynde

Summer of 1981, stayed in Chamonix, France, climbing as much as we could for the season. All of the Americans and Brits hung out at the Bar National. It was right next to the post office so we could get our "Post Restant" letters from home. Owned by Maurice, who put up with us for our money, and the two waitresses were his daughters, who also put up with us. Brass in Pocket was on regular rotation on somebody's` boom box. Great summer, great climbing, and only almost died once=great stories and memories. Cheers! (Sorry for the spelling)

As debut albums go, I always thought this was pretty much unbeatable. Track after track of edgy, thoughtful, gritty, clean & dirty music. Fantastic.

My God this song .... On an album that really consisted of one standout after another, this one still manages to hit the mark.

Bought this record in 79 in London. London was a very great city, with punk, jamaican people ,music at every corner, man could drink beer in the street and left glass outside... , it's one of the first i bought, i was 16 years old and all my life to come. Great to hear it now, 40 years after.

Stop Your Sobbing, followed by Kid then Brass In Pocket. What a run for the first three Pretenders singles - almost unsurpassable by any pop group. All fantastic records though BIP, arguably the weakest of the trip, was their breakthrough No.1 in the UK. Kid is one of those records that uplifts your spirits every time you hear it. Just magnificent.

Yeah, Nick produced the debut single "Stop Your Sobbing", which was used on the 1st album.
Famed U.K. producer Chris Thomas helmed the other eleven songs on the debut.
Legend has it that Nick dumped out early because he thought this band was D.O.A.
I think Nick Lowe produced one or two tunes on this album, not this one though.

She's got a lot in common with Cat Stevens. A gruff voice with heartfelt, surprisingly emotive lyrics. Have you read them? This would make an excellent pair with Father & Son.

The Pretenders' live version of Kid on The Isle of View album is just as good as this one in a completely different way.

I just finished Chrissie's book "Reckless - My Life As A Pretender" and, as I didn't know much about them I got quite a few insights into her and the band. RIP James Honeyman-Scott and Pete Farndon.

"CLINK!!!" cheers young man, that's a splendid remembrance, many more!
Lived in a big house in Carlisle, there was no furniture and no heating. But I had this on stereo and a new significant other. At a distance of almost 40 years the flood of memories triggered by this song are not about my squalid, 'working poor' existence but are mostly about a bohemian and romantic life.
I hold myself lucky that my subconscious tends to remember things this way round.

Phenomenal debut Album. Was 19 and brought it with me to Seattle, (on cassette) from NYC January of 1980.
Incredible Band. Pete Farndon (bass) and James Honeyman-Scott were just too good to be true ~

I loved it since the first time I ever heard it. WABX (Detroit) played this album repeatedly through one entire afternoon upon its release because it "was just so cool."
Fine LP filled with fine memories living on Redondo Beach Esplanade

This album was the soundtrack for the early 80s for me and I thought Chrissie would never reach these heights again but I have to say Stockholm comes very very close.

Love this album but also put Learning to Crawl right up there with it, better than Pretender's II IMHO. Also more recent highlight was Breaking Up the Concrete. You should check it out.
Ohhhh - I've heard some stuff from Breaking Up the Concrete, and it's awesome! Hard, harsh, trite, and true. So typical of Chrissie and the ghosts of the Pretenders. I know it isn't fair to compare the new band with the original. Things change. People change. Ideas and ideals change. I think I'll embrace the Pretenders as they were in the beginning, and apart from what might have been some soul-searching in the middle of the mess, I'll embrace them as they are now - a new band, with their roots where they always were - in brutal truth, sharp observation of the world around them, and a glimpse into the tenderness that can still be found, if one looks in the right place at just the right moment.
And that read just like a critical review... GUH. Shutting up now.

Love this album but also put Learning to Crawl right up there with it, better than Pretender's II IMHO. Also more recent highlight was Breaking Up the Concrete. You should check it out. AMG on Learning to Crawl:
Hynde was forced by circumstance to reinvent the Pretenders for their third album, 1984's Learning to Crawl, but if the new edition of the group lacked some of the spark of the band that made the first two LPs, through sheer force of will Hynde created a masterpiece. While Hynde hardly held back in her emotionally potent songwriting in the Pretenders' early work, on Learning to Crawl there's a gravity to her lyrics that blended with her tough but wiry melodic sense and streetwise intelligence to create a set of truly remarkable tunes. "Back on the Chain Gang" is a touching tribute to her fallen comrades that still sounds bitterly rueful, "Middle of the Road" is a furious rocker that explores the emotional and physical toll of a musician's life, "Time the Avenger" is a taut, literate examination of a businessman's adulterous relationship, "My City Was Gone" deals with the economic and cultural decay of the Midwest in a manner both pithy and genuinely heartfelt, and "2000 Miles" is a Christmas number that demonstrates Hynde can be warm without getting sappy.

It's chords and melody are fleetingly reminiscent of a few classic, instrumental tunes: "Telstar", "Perfidia", "Theme From A Summer Place" - which was probably intentional. I'm not sure about why you hear a Christmas sound though, but I do hear a distinct Fender® sound in the solo.

Oh, man - what memories this song brings back! I was living in Ventura, CA with my boyfriend and his whole family in a tiny little house. I'd never even heard of The Pretenders until BF's younger brother Christian played "Up the Neck," and I was hooked. Left that life and those people and never looked back (well, until now...), but I carried the early music of Chrissie Hynde and the Pretenders in my heart. To this day, I can't hear "Mystery Achievement" without dancing...

chyk5,
Nice retort on the Rush cut today. Believe me, I hear them all the time, whether my ears are plugged or not, and I'm not even trying to listen for them. And I'm not dissing the fact that you like them, I'm just a little sad they crop up on RP occasionally.
I just had to fire back on your Pretenders comment here . Ray Davies wrote Stop Your Sobbing (it was on the first Kinks album), and Hynde either wrote or co-wrote every other song on Pretenders except Space Invader.

This is OK but not the most exciting thing the Pretenders did in their first (and best) incarnation. Personally I prefer most anything from the harder rocking first half of this album to most anything from the second half.
OoooOooooooooh....not my favorite. lol
Why oh why do I not own any Pretenders? *has to remedy that very quickly* I've always liked them...

I remember a snippet from Rolling Stones Random NOtes many years ago after Chrissie was arrested at some club in Nashville for causing a disturbance. The item said something like: Said Hynde: "I don't like to be touched. They touched me."
It was at Tootsie's on 2d Avenue (Printer's Alley Area). She slugged a groupie who tried to put his/her arm around her. Slobbering drunks at Tootsie's are a hazard of the profession, male and female. Seems to me this was a female groupie, but I had had about 15 beers that night, so maybe I disremember.
Chrissie is Unique. One of a kind. Delicious!

Better than what I usually hear from them. Still not a fan though.
Brilliant track - Brilliant album. Brilliant band- pity J H Scott died so young.
One of my favorites from a great, great band.
Love Chrissie's quavering voice.

this was such a great album... just about every track.
Love this song but, because I heard it first, I prefer the Everything but the Girls version.
This song is nothing but a 10. Nothing but. Great guitar,great vibrato vocals.
Oh man I love this song. Brings back so many memories.
I believe I read that this song deals with a young boy finding out what his Mom did for a living (a prostitute)...lyrics take on a whole new meaning
True or not, it's undeniable that as much as Chrissie is the epitome of a badass rocker - her songs are full of emotional lyrics. Kinda like how Cat Stevens has that gruff voice, but writes about deep important ideas.
