Birthday Boy Songtext

von Pet Shop Boys

Birthday boy can't explain
Christmas eve he's born again.
On the line a broken train
Going nowhere endless rain.
Birthday boy so afraid
Plays the machines in the arcade.

Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before?
Spent the summer getting nowhere.
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating form pain comes pity.

Christmas eve a time to joy
If you belive in Birthday boy.
This time around it's all a mistake
Is he deluded or just a fake?

Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before?
Spent the summer getting nowhere.
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating form pain comes pity.

If you knew his name
Would you feel the same?
If you knew his name?

Birthday boy stands apart
As the drama's about to start.
A quick betrayal, a speedy trail
s before, complete denial.

Oh baby do you remember
He's been through all this before?
Spent the summer getting nowhere.
Taking all of the blame for the city
Calculating form pain comes pity.

If you knew his name
Would you feel the same?
