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 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 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?
