WE'RE PET SHOP BOYS
a song from Rudebox
What Robbie Says about We're Pet Shop Boys:
"I just love the fact that the Pet Shop Boys covered it, it is not one of their songs and I love the irony of me covering a cover. Above all that the romance for me in this song is paramount. Did I feel like a Pet Shop Boy when I was recording it? Yes, absolutely (said with a big smile). Chris Heath (the person who co-wrote Feel, my autobiography, with me) played it to me and I fell in love with it. I must say, when I’ve listened to it back and when I get a chance to sing it, the 'What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this' bit sends shivers down my spine everytime it comes up. It’s a sense of history, yours and mine, and those particular lyrics really affect me. It’s an honour to do it. I love the Pet Shop Boys and I was pleased to learn that amongst pop genii I can hold my own."
LYRICS:
Suburbia's a slipstream
To a memory
Of a time when you were
Close to me
I pretend
I'm there again
I close my eyes and see you
Better than before
Then I feel you touch me
And it's 1984
I know what you will say
Before you start
In my heart
We're the Pet Shop Boys
We're the Pet Shop Boys
Every thought's a fashion
Or a crime
And every boy is just
A waste of time
But I pretend
It was different then
Maybe it's a habit
Maybe it's a sin
But I find out
When I try it on
It crawls beneath my skin
Once it gets inside me
It won't go
Now I know
We're the Pet Shop Boys
We're the Pet Shop Boys
Rent
Shopping
Being boring
It's alright
It's a sin
I'm not scared
In denial
I want a dog
I want a lover
Can you forgive her?
Do I have to?
What have I? What have I?
What have I done to deserve this?
We're the Pet Shop Boys
We're the Pet Shop Boys
TRADUZIONE:
La periferia è una scia di un ricordo di un tempo
quando eri vicino a me
Fingo di essere lì di nuovo
chiudo gli occhi e ti vedo meglio di prima
Poi sento che mi tocchi ed è il 1984
nel mio cuore so cosa dirai prima che tu lo dica
Noi siamo i Pet Shop Boys
Ogni pensiero è moda o crimine
e ogni ragazzo è solo una perdita di tempo
ma fingo che fosse diverso quando
forse è un'abitudine
forse un peccato
ma lo scopro quando ci provo
striscia dentro la mia pelle
e una volta che è dentro di me
non va più via
Ora lo so
Noi siamo i Pet Shop Boys
Affitto
Shopping
Essere noiosi
Va tutto bene
E' un peccato
Non sono spaventato
a negare
voglio un cane
voglio un amante
Puoi perdonarla?
devo?
Cosa ho'Cosa ho?
Cosa ho fatto per meritarmi questo?
Noi siamo i Pet Sop Boys
