Friendly Fire (Live At The Mermaid Theatre) - Pet Shop Boys

Written by：Wimbish Doug/Alexander B(Macdonald Skip)/Nelson Shara

An inspirational tirade against me how to explain my life

Girls to the left of me boys to the right of me

Neither husband nor wife

Though the days are filled with pain there is no one who'll explain why

I'm coming under friendly fire

Shot in the fatal cause of rock and roll

But there's no one really no one to say

Why I endure under force majeure slander without shame or tact

I who studied make up mine and buddha who taught two generations to react

About me the critics lied I ignored them and survived

In spite of coming under friendly fire shot in the fatal

Cause of rock and roll I have nothing really nothing to deny

When I look back my eyes are filled with tears

Danger to mascara applause to my peers

When fame sustained me and arenas acclaimed me

I floated through life in a cloud of love and insanity and pagan profanity

Before a worshiping crowd now my status is ill defined

As an icon I'm inclined to be coming under friendly fire

Shot in the fatal cause of rock and roll

But whatever dull or clever points they've scored

I have never oh no never been ignored
