Pet Shop Boys - Requiem In Denim And Leopardskin
.
I thought it was like a film
Reviewed but never seen
Where everybody played themselves
As a drama king or queen
The music was overwhelming
Glittering and thin
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
I visualize the flashbacks
School, punk rock, success
Parties, too much of everything
The cliches, the candles, the mess
.
Lucian in the scene with David
Bryan in a tux
McCartney on a blitz in Zanzibar
All Hollywood Redux
Ossie's last collection
Biba's closing sale
A little more rouge on powdered cheeks
But the base is pale
.
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
.
It ended with the motorbike
A search for evidence
Poring over old photographs
To make it all fake sense
Glamorous in its own way
Shouting above the din
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
.
Johnny's wearing brothel creepers
Malcolm's round the block
Adam's in a Jarman film
But look he's let it rock
The Johnson's leather jacket
Hair by Keith at Smile
All you need to make it big is sex and style
.
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
.
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
.
Requiem in denim and leopardskin
.
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
.
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
