New Featured Unknown/Underrated Song: "Mystery Achievement" by the Pretenders

The Pretenders rode the crest of the New Wave in the early 80's to the top, beginning with their debut album.  The first two LP's from the group contain some of the great undiscovered music of the Rock Era--here's one example from their debut, never released as a single:

 

"Mystery Achievement"

Pretenders

Words and Music By

Mystery achievement
Don't breathe down my neck no
I got no trophies on display
I sign them away
I mean what the heck
All of your promises
Don't fill me with pride no
I just wanna get out on the floor
And do the cuban slide, slide, slide, slide

[Chorus:]
But every day, every nighttime I find
Mystery achievement
You're on my mind
And every day, every nighttime I feel
Mystery achievement you're so unreal

Mystery achievement
Where's my sandy beach? yeah
I had my dreams like everybody else
But they're out of reach
I said right out of reach
I could ignore you
Your demands are unending
I got no tears on my ice cream but you know me
I love pretending

[Chorus]
