Artist/Band: Pet Shop Boys
Lyrics for Song: King's Cross
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Pet Shop Boys



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

Released during a period where the group frequently explored London's urban landscape, the track captures the atmosphere of the historic district with characteristic sophistication. The recording showcases Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe's ability to transform everyday settings into compelling musical narratives, utilizing their distinct synth-pop textures to evoke a sense of place and memory. As part of their broader body of work, the song demonstrates their enduring commitment to crafting intelligent pop that balances accessibility with artistic ambition. It remains a testament to their skill in weaving social observation into memorable melodies, securing its place within their celebrated discography.
