Birthday boy Pet Shop Boys
Lyrics
Birthday boy can't explain
Christmas Eve he's born again
On the lime a broken train
going nowhere endless rain
Birthday boy so afraid
plays the machines in the arcade
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
Christmas Eve the time of joy
if you believe in birthday boy
This time around it's all a mistake
Is he deluded or just a fake?
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
would you feel the same?
If you knew his name
Birthday boy stands apart
as the drama's about to start
A quick betrayal a speedy trial
as before complete denial
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
would you feel the same?
Christmas Eve he's born again
On the lime a broken train
going nowhere endless rain
Birthday boy so afraid
plays the machines in the arcade
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
Christmas Eve the time of joy
if you believe in birthday boy
This time around it's all a mistake
Is he deluded or just a fake?
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
would you feel the same?
If you knew his name
Birthday boy stands apart
as the drama's about to start
A quick betrayal a speedy trial
as before complete denial
Oh baby, do you remember
he's been though all this before
Spent the summer
getting nowhere
Taking all of the blame
for the city
Calculating
from pain comes pity
If you knew his name
would you feel the same?
