We're the pet shop boys

Suburbia's a slipstream to a memory
Of a time when you were close to me
I pretend I'm there again
I close my eyes and see
You better than before
Then I feel you touch me
And it's 1984
I know what you will say
Before you start
In my heart

We're the Pet Shop Boys

Every thought's a fashion or a crime
And every boy is just a waste of time
But I pretend it was different then
Maybe it's a habit, maybe it's a sin
But I find out when I try it on
It crawls beneath my skin
Once it gets inside me it won't go
Now I know

We're the Pet Shop Boys

Rent
Shopping
Being boring
It's alright
It's a sin
I'm not scared
In denial
I want a dog
I want a lover
Can you forgive her
Do I have to

What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this
What have I, what have I
What have I done to deserve this

We're the Pet Shop Boys
