West End Girls
Pet Shop Boys · Discography
THERE´S A GUN IN YOUR HAND
AND IT´S POINTING AT YOUR HEAD
YOU THINK YOU´RE MAD, TOO UNSTABLE
KICKING IN CHAIRS AND KNOCKING DOWN TABLES
IN A RESTAURANT, IN A WEST END TOWN
CALL THE POLICE THERE´S A MADMAN AROUND
RUNNING DOWN UNDERGROUND
TO A DIVE BAR IN A WEST END TOWN
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD
THE EAST END BOYS AND WEST END GIRLS
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD
THE EAST END BOYS AND WEST END GIRLS
WEST END GIRLS
TOO MANY SHADOWS, WHISPERING VOICES
FACES ON POSTERS, TOO MANY CHOICES
IF,WHEN, WHY, WHAT, HOW MUCH HAVE YOU GOT
HAVE YOU GOT IT, DO YOU GET IT
IF SO, HOW OFTEN
WHICH DO YOU CHOOSE
A HARD OR SOFT OPTION
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...
HOW MUCH DO YOU NEED
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...
YOU GOT A HEART OF GLASS OR A HEART OF STONE
JUST YOU WAIT TILL I GET YOU HOME
WE´VE GOT NO FUTURE
WE´VE GOT NO PAST
HERE TODAY BUILT TO LAST
IN EVERY CITY AND EVERY NATION
FROM LAKE GENEVA TO FINLAND STATION
HOW FAR HAVE YOU BEEN
IN A WEST END TOWN A DEAD END WORLD...
