Back On the Chain Gang - The Pretenders [View all]

Released in 1982 as a single and later included on the album, Learning to Crawl in 1984. The song was a memorial to Honeyman-Scott, their lead guitarist who died of a drug overdose. It was also written during her strained relationship with Ray Davies (of the Kinks) when she was three months pregnant with their daughter.
