[My Robot Friend cover]    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
