Pet Shop Boys- The End of the World

Lyrics

Floods of tears and doors slamming
Stamping feet across the landing
Because of your obligation
To stay home and fight

Sitting down to a composition

Test the limits of your inhibition

If the phone hasn't rung by midnight

It's over tonight


If someone tried, you'd realize

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the worlds


Piles of toast and broken promises

Among the books and pens and reading glasses

It seems there's no escape from the humdrum

It's over and done


If someone tried, you'd realize

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world


If someone cried, you'd sympathize

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the worlds


At midnight in desperation

Imagine total teenage destruction


The Prophets all predicted extinction

The virgin spoke in apparitions

And if it all came to pass now

You feel we'd all deserve it somehow


But if someone tried, you'd realize

(You'd realize)

(And sympathize)

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world


If someone cried, you'd sympathize

(You'd sympathize)

(And realize)

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

It's not the end
