Oooooh, this is tough! Each one is a beast. I reserve judgement (for now).

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 sentimental gestures only bore me to death,
You've made a desperate appeal, now save your breath,
Attachment to obligation, through guilt and regret, shit that's so wet
And your sex life complications are not my fascinations,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
You asked my advice I say use the door,
But you're still clinging to somebody you deplore,
And now you wanna use me for emotional blackmail,
I just feel pity when you lie, contempt when you cry,
Your private life drama, baby, leave me out
Great lyrics but only Grace gives them the right amount of steel and menace. Grace Jones cannot kiss a rhinocerous' arse, although I'm sure she could batter anyone here.

Chrissie gives it that crazy vibrato, which is deep. Grace Jones lays on the ill monotony.
I dunno!!

"Private Life" is probably my least favorite song on the Pretenders' debut. can't remember if I've heard the Grace Jones one, though.
