West End Girls (original) Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

Sometimes you′re better off dead
There's a gun in your hand and it′s pointing at your head
You think you're mad, too unstable
Kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
In a restaurant in a West End town
Call the police, there's a madman around
Running down underground
To a dive bar in a West End town

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
In a West End town, a dead end world
East End boys and West End girls
West End girls


Too many shadows is whispering voices
Faces on posters, too many choices
If, when, why, what
How much have you got?
Have you got it? Do you get it? If so, how often?
Which do you choose, a hard or soft option?

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

In a West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys, West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls

I′ve said it all before, I′ll say it all again
We're all modern men
We′ve got no future, we've got no past
Here today, built to last
In every city, in every nation
From Lake Geneva to the Finland station


You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone?
Just you wait ′til I get you home
All your stopping, stalling and starting
Who do you think you are, Joe Stalin?
Sometimes you're better off dead
There′s gun in your hand, it's pointing at your head

A West End town, a dead end world
The East End boys and West End girls
A West End town, a dead end world
East End boys, West End girls
West End girls
