Lyrics - West End Girls 1984 Version by Pet Shop Boys

West
End girls
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's 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, 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?
And 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
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
And a
West
End town, a dead end world
The
East
End boys and
West
End girls
Ooh
West
End town, a dead end world
East
End boys,
West
End
Girls
West
End girls
You've got a heart of glass or a heart of stone
Just you wait 'till
I get you home
All your stopping, stalling and starning
Who do you think you are,
Joe
Stalin?
Sometimes you're better off dead
There's gun in your hand and it's pointing at your head
In a
West
End town, a dead end world
The
East
End boys and
West
End girls
And a
West
End town, a dead end world
East
End
Boys,
West
End girls
West
End girls
West
