Je n'ai marre with your theatrics
Your acting's a drag
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off
Your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial I hate everything official
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
Attachment to obligation, regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Oh!
You asked my advice I say use the door
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Oh!
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your acting's a drag
It's ok on TV, but you can turn it off
Your marriage is a tragedy
But it's not my concern
I'm very superficial I hate everything official
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Sentimental gestures only bore me to death
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath
Attachment to obligation, regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Oh!
You asked my advice I say use the door
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore
And now you want to use me for emotional blackmail
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Oh!
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out

Man, I don't want to be "that guy" and offer up a correction, but here goes. This song was on the album Warm Leatherette - also a great record - and yes, a superb cover of The Pretenders tune as mentioned by Tippster. If one is to cover another performer's song, do it your own way! Slave to the Rhythm is TERRIFIC, and it's Trevor Horn showing off his mastery of the sound recording technology of the time. Cool note: the Slave to the Rhythm album consists of eight variations of the same tune. Stay cool, y'all...
Such a great version of a Pretenders Classic. I've always loved Grace's swagger.
Great artist she is. Performer, dancer, voice, model and an icon for us 80ies girls! Gen X dream!
