In the love we share
Is it fate?
Does darkness end in light?

Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Where'd you go?
Did you lose your way?
Tell me now
You're coming back to stay
In my hopes
Paradise is real
Horoscopes
Can't forecast how we'll feel

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me a hope
Give me a hope

Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away

Give me a hope
Give me a hope

I don't know what you want but I can't give it anymore

Produced by: David Morales and Pet Shop Boys. Engineered by: Stephen Barkan.

Schwartz. Strings recorded by: Hugo Dwyer. Additional vocals by: Audrey

Did you get what you want?
Do you know what it is?
Do you care?
Is he better than me?
Was it your place or his?
Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong?
Do you find that it's worse than it was?
Has it gone on too long?
Do you mind that it hurts me? Because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
You're breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code?
Or just filling in time?
Was that all?
So then why'd you go back
to the scene of the crime?
Did you call?
Shall I take further blame
or another assault
on how it was?
Then we'll get to the fact
that it's always my fault
just because
You're breaking my heart

I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
You're breaking my heart
I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
I don't know what you want
but I can't give it anymore
You're breaking my heart

Don't know what you want
Don't know what you want

Happiness is an option

Produced by Pet Shop Boys. Engineered by Richard Lowe. Mixed by Goets at
Sarm West Studios, London. Programming: Pete Gleadall. Additional vocals:
Sylvia Mason-James. Oboe: Kate St. John. Recorded at Metropolis Studios,
London.

It is not easy
It is not easy

Looking from a window
at the back of a house
at the edge of a town
It's a grey
like the day
when I lost it
Clouds overhead
I talked to a flower
that was almost dead
My body a prison
why did i do it?
someone told me not to
but still went throught it

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

Needed somewhere to clear
my head
find some strength
a warmer bed
Maximum love in a
minimal world
I'd never archieved it
but then i believed it
so when I lost it - how?
I'm not sure now -
it was a strange feeling
like a law repailing itself

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

I can wake up in the morning
and not believe what I see
Look in the mirror
And think if that's really me
I don't thing I suit my face
It's not a catastrophe
It's more the philosophy
like the Russians
wondering why
we're born under a blue sky
but die in the dark forest

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

This is neither old nor new
It's always, forever
somewhere between sence
and ambitions
pleasure and decision
we have to make a choice
What do we want?
Everyone singing
War, what is it good for?
while planning the next one?
I don't need to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
Happiness in a option

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

It not easy
the war within us
but it gets easier
the more we learn
I don't needed to win
You don't have to lose
We can choose
happiness is an option

It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option
It is not easy
but don't give up now
It is not easy
Happiness is an option

What a perfomance tonight
Should I react or turn off the light?
Looks like you're picking a fight
In a blurring of wrong and right
But how your mood changes
You're a devil, now an angel
Suddenly subtle and solemn and silent as a monk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

It's better than nothing, I suppose
some doors have opened, others closed
but I couldn't see you exposed
to the horrors behind some of those
Somebody said: listen
don't you know what you're missing?
You should be kissing him instead of dissing him like a punk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk

All of my friends keep asking me
Why, oh, why
do you not say good-bye?
If you don't even try
you'll be sunk
'cause you only tell me you
love me when you're drunk

What's the meaning
when you speak with so much feeling?
Is it over when you're sober?
Is it junk?
You only tell me you love me when you're drunk
You only tell me you love me when yor're drunk

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Sun in the kitchen
Boy, you're still sleeping
When you get hungry
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Night in the city
New Orleans pretty
Do what you want
and then can I do it to you?
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

It's a reflex
Just a reflex
like fear or sex
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Say what you like
I'll do what you want me to do
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire
You're a vampire
I'm a vampire too

Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry
Brother, it don't matter
Sister, don't worry

In the air
In the air

The night was long
Now the crowd has gone
theres's sunlight on my bed
Feels like a radiophonic
workshop's
beaming straight into my head
It could make you weep
I can't get to sleep
There's ringing in my ears
like a radiophonic workshop
orchestraiting all my
stupid fears

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

My skin is itching
I'm totaly twitching
with the pouding in my head
like a dub sub-sonic beat-box
booming bass under the bed
My hands are shaking
My mind is aching
with a feeling deep inside
that you've been staring
sendings signals
every time our paths collide

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

Think I'm in love

Radiophonic
I think I'm in love
Radiophonic
I think I'm in love

In the air
In the air

The only one

Stephen Hilton. Strings recorded by Geoff Foster at Air Studios. Piano and

Fraser. Additional vocals: JB Henry. Recorded at Sarm West Studios, London.

The only one

I think of you
and wonder who
you are and what's your line
I wonder if
there's someone else
or if it's true that I'm
the only one
in your life
I only worry
for your own sake
I don't know much about
the deals you make
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one?
The only one

(The only one
The only one
The only one)

I don't know you
You don't know me
I wonder what we share
It's just that now
and than you smile
and suddenly I know you care
and I'm the only one
for a while
Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one

(The only one
Only one)

As enigmatic
as you can be
I'm not suspicious
naturally
There's so much that
you hide from me
The mystery:
am I the only one
In your life?

Though you've many reasons
to tell me a lie
I can't help believing
That I should be
for you and you for me
the only one

Boy Strange

Produced by Rollo and Pet Shop Boys. Engineered by Goetz. Mixed by Rollo.
Programming: Pete Gleadall. Additional keyboards: Mark Bates. Percussion:
Malcolm Hyde-Smith. Guitar_ Paul Herman. Drums: Andy Gangadeen. Recorded and
mixed at Swanyard Studios, London.

See Boy Strange on the
horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say?

See Boy Strange as an
example of youth
so close to the truth
but still far away

And he's such a strange boy
will he make a good exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?

When you realise that
this boy is strange
it's too late to change
your point of view

He's often there
when the sun meets the sky
with a perfect alibi
unlike you

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
the one before a closed door
that you left behind?

To talk of common sense is a
complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
bound to commit

In the eyes of the world he's
a borderline fool
both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict
him on you?

In denial

Shop Boys. Engineered by Andy Bradfield. Mixed by Goetz. Orchestration and
choir arrangement by Craig Armstrong. Programming and additional keyboards:
Stephen Hilton. Strings recorded by Geoff Foster at Air Studios. Piano and

Father:
In denial, no
my life's a trial
I'm not denying
that every little bit hurts
It's a problem
that I'm not solving
Don't mind admitting
I feel like quitting this job
for a while, getting away
before it gets any worse today

Daughter:
You're in denial
and that is final
You're not admitting
you should be quitting
all these
queens and fairies
and muscle Marys
the rough trade boyfriend
who in his pathetic own way
denies he's gay
Why can't you see?
This is a fantasy world

Father:
Think I'm going mad
How d'you know if you're
going mad?

Daughter:
Look at me I'm lonely

Father:
Look at me I'm sad

I'm not denying
I could be trying
a little harder
to deal with some of this stuff

Daughter:
Know I'm thinking?
Less drugs and drinking
No cigarettes and you'd feel
a little less rough

Father:
Is that enough?
My life is absourde, I'm living it
upside down
like a vampire, working at
night, sleeping all day
A dad with a girl who knows
he's gay

Both:
Can you love me anyway?

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

When you're a boy, some days are tough
Lying on your bed playing punk rock and stuff
Home is a boot camp you gotta escape
Wanna go and wander in the ticker tape

You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

The street is amazing
The hoochies unreal
Check out all the hardware at the latest deal
Hear a song, that's the bomb
If you don't get that mix it's gone eighty-six

You feel, the deal, is real
you're in New York City

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

New York City boy
This is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Then as evening falls
You can return its calls

You feel, the deal, is real
You're a New York City boy
So young, so run
Into New York City

New York City boy (New York City)
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
New York City boy, this is your reward day
'Cause you're a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway
(New York City, New York City)

New York City boy
You'll never have a bored day
'Cause your a New York City boy
Where Seventh Avenue meets Broadway

Footsteps in the dark
Only love break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

Whenever trouble
comes around
or lonely nights lead
underground
and far in the dark
abandoned cars suddenly
start up
an anxious sound
As long as I hear your
footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps

When loneliness induces fear
like wawes against a
ramshackle
pier
When thunder and rain
scar the windowpane
once again
I want you near
As long as I hear your
footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

I'm longing to see you
I want you, I need you
Like child who feels afraid
of the dark at night
hoping to hear a gentle touch
turning on a welcome light
As long as I hear you
footsteps in the dark
that's all I need
As long as I hear your
footsteps in the dark
that's all I need

Footsteps in the dark
Only love break your heart
Footsteps, footsteps
