great Pet Shop Boys songs

so hard is a beautiful track. So is being
boring
, and jealousy also has some very nice
moments. I also LOVE left to my own devices, it is
delightfully produced. On the Actually album, my favourites
are rent which has a lovely warm production, it
couldn't happen here
and kings cross

of their earlier work, I love suburbia

of their rarer tracks, I always get a kick out of one of
the crowd
with its ironic Chris Lowe lyric. Your
Funny Uncle
is a very melancholy song. Later
Tonight
thrills me, and I love the simple piano
arrangement. the sound of the atom splitting is a
very interesting little track, nice 303s and 808s used in
it.

word, rent/left to my own devices have been my favourites
for ages. i used to love pet shop boys when i was like 7 or
8.

still listen to them, even though i get called gay by mates

"paninaro"... ehehehe... i'm joking obviously.

"paninaro" was a strange italian movement between guys in
the mid of 80's. "paninaro" were all guys who went to eat
hamburgher in the first fast foods.

strange isn't it?

if PSB singles are as full of b-side tracks as DM singles
are - then i'm gonna search for those PSB singles. too.

i'm not sure anything beats Actually. it might be the peak
of their career so far.

"i want to wake up" has been bringing me to tears for years
- even on that skipping vinyl version [of mine].

A windy day
The cars in slow formation
Not far away
A final destination
One mother's son
His father's distant gaze, regretting
Where they went wrong
He always found it too upsetting

Me and my friend
We lived our lives completely
From start to end
You and your friend, so sweetly
With strength and pride
In spite of everything, and swimming
Against the tide
To obstinately hope of winning

And at the end
Your funny uncle staring
At all your friends
With military bearing
And stopped to stand
To smile and speak of you directly
Goodbye, shake hands
Like you did everything correctly

So wipe away the tears
No more pain, no fear
No sorrow or dying
No waiting or crying
These former things have passed away
Another life begins today
