Artist/Band: Pet Shop Boys
Lyrics for Song: King's Cross
Lyrics for Album: Ultimate Pet Shop Boys: Special Edition [2010]



The man at the back of the queue was sent

To feel the smack of firm government

Linger by the flyposter, for a fight

It's the same story every night

I've been hurt and we've been had

You leave home, and you don't go back



Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee



Only last night I found myself lost

By the station called King's Cross

Dead and wounded on either side

You know it's only a matter of time

I've been good and I've been bad

I've been guilty of hanging around



Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee



So I went looking out today

For the one who got away

Murder walking round the block

Ending up in King's Cross

Good luck, bad luck waiting in a line

It takes more than the matter of time



Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee



Someone told me Monday, someone told me Saturday

Wait until tomorrow and there's still no way

Read it in a book or write it in a letter

Wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee

And there's still no guarantee

There is still no guarantee


King's Cross

King's Cross stands as a poignant song in the Pet Shop Boys' extensive catalogue, reflecting the duo's enduring ability to blend electronic textures with narrative depth. Released during a period of continued artistic evolution, the track captures the atmospheric essence of its London namesake, a historic transport hub that has long served as a cultural landmark. The recording showcases the group's signature synthesis of pop sensibilities and sophisticated production, maintaining the high standards established throughout their decades-long career. As part of their broader body of work, the song contributes to the rich tapestry of British electronic music, offering listeners a moment of introspection within a polished sonic landscape. It remains a testament to the artists' capacity to find emotional resonance in everyday urban settings.
