Friendly Fire (2012 - Remaster) - Pet Shop Boys

Written by：Chris Lowe/Neil Tennant

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

Slandered without shame or tact

I who studied make up mime 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

But there's 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 on a cloud

Of love and insanity and pagan profanity

Before a worshipping 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
