Lyrics - The Theatre by Pet Shop Boys

(
Yeah)(
Yeah)(
Yeah)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Yeah)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)(
Yeah)(
Yeah)
It's another world here
The streets are gleaming
I was even dreaming
That they're paved with gold
Seventeen, at half past ten
All the crowds are surging past
An electric display
There's another world here
Below shop windows
Upon the pavement
Where you wave goodbye
Boys and girls
Come too roost>
From
Northern parts
And
Scottish towns
Will we catch your eye?
While you pretend not to notice
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over
As you leave the
Theatre (
Yeah) (
Yeah)
It's another world here
Somebody is singing (
Yeah)
I was only wishing
For a bit of cash>
From a patron of the arts
Or at least the phantom of the opera
Will
I catch your eye?
While you pretend not to notice (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the
Theatre (
Yeah) (
Yeah)(
Ha ha ha ha...)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)(
Everybody)
Pavarotti in the park
Then you walked back up the
Strand
Did you catch my eye?
And then pretend not to notice (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
All the years we've been here
We're the bums you step over (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the
Theatre (
Yeah) (
Yeah)
In the end, you pretend (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu) '
Cause it's so much easier
We're the bums you step over (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the
Theatre (
Yeah) (
Yeah) (
Yeah) (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
We're the bums you step over (
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu
Tu ru tu tu tu tu)
As you leave the
Theatre (
Yeah) (
Yeah)(
Ha ha ha ha ...)(
Ha ha ha ha ...)(
Ha ha ha ha ...)
