the theatre

very albümünden bir pet shop boys $arkisi

it's another world here
the streets are gleaming
i was even dreaming
that they're paved with gold

seventeen, at half past ten
all the crowds are surging past
an electric display

there's another world here
below shop windows
upon the pavement
where you wave goodbye

boys and girls
come to roost
from northern parts
and scottish towns
will we catch your eye?

while you pretend not to notice
all the years we've been here
we're the bums you step over
as you leave the theatre
