And I'll keep it confidential
It's secret, confidential
It may come as some surprise
but I can stay secret from prying eyes
so don't worry I'll keep this confidential
between you and me

And I'll keep it confidential
It's secret, confidential
It may come as some surprise
but I can stay secret from prying eyes
so don't worry I'll keep this confidential
between you and me
Every thoughtβs a fashion
or a crime
and every boy is just
a waste of time
but I pretend
it was different then
In audience I receive the media's pleas
They kiss my ring in interviews on bended knees
In victory I'm magnanimous and charming when
I speak exclusively at length to CNN
Weβve heard quite enough
of experts and their dealings
Why face the facts
when you can just feel the feelings?
Letβs lead this world a merry dance
Letβs give stupidity a chance
I can ask you when or why
and you look up to the sky
The parade is marching by
Passion and love and sex and money
Violence, religion, injustice and death
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
Youβre hoping for a miracle
to get you out of here
Hoping for a miracle
A miraculous career
Where everyone loves you
everyone wants you
a photo on their phone
Time runs out
we all start dying
after all
You called me baby
What d'you want from me, baby, now?
You called me baby
What d'you want from me, baby, now?
Maybe itβs a habit
Maybe itβs a sin
But I find out
when I try it on
it crawls beneath my skin
Once it gets inside me
it wonβt go
Now I know
So I'll just pin this note
within your coat
And leave the garden gate
unlocked
Miracles happen
when you're around
Somehow the grass is much greener
Rivers flow faster and cleaner
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
You don't need to give me reasons
I understand
Some things are best kept secret
and you've done all you can
I want no recompense
just as much as you can give of yourself
and nothing else
I wanna
live like beautiful people
give like beautiful people
with like beautiful people around
Power it up and turn it on
Electric
Turn it up
Electric
Feel the power
Electric energy
We're the Pet Shop Boys
We're the Pet Shop Boys
Rent
Shopping
Being boring
Itβs alright
Itβs a sin
Iβm not scared
In denial
I want a dog
I want a lover
Can you forgive her?
Do I have to?
Told everyone Iβm over it
Iβve quit this cul-de-sac
But just when I thought
Iβd lost it for good
that feeling comes right back
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
Back in the library
his revenge is his story
What he will write
will recall the bite
of his wit
and legendary appetite
The sybarite
Casanova is well
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
And all the others
running 'round so hot and bothered
anything to give their lives some meaning
in the evening
running around with guns and
said they would act in self-defence
with violence
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
Paninaro, Paninaro oh oh oh
And now our time has come
and I'm feeling really horny
You're with me
and together we're in ecstasy
I close my eyes and see you
better than before
then I feel you touch me
and itβs 1984
I know what you will say
before you start
in my heart
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Never been closer to heaven
Never been further away
Give me hope
Give me hope
And if you ever feel
the pain is far too big a deal
I say with pride
I'll be on your side
But for all of those
who don't fit it
who follow their instincts
and are told they sin
This is a prayer for
a different way
Forget political correctness
I mean WTF?!
I donβt wanna think about the world
I wanna talk about myself!
Where have they gone, les Petites Bon-Bons?
Who dances now to their sweet old song?
I wish I lived my life free-and-easier
I need to find a new bohemia
