declare June Pet Shop Boys Month

I believe I accomplished this as well as possible, considering my only two cds of Pet Shop boys are not with me at the present moment!!! This goal had reminded me of how much I’ve missed this music, so I’ve gone and ordered Fundamentalism: Deluxe Edition online here. Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe’s voices are just so distinctive, as are their beats, and now I can appreciate it without having to wait a few months! : )

I feel kind of bad because I joined this team because I love the pet shop boys but didn’t really follow thru on it! Sorry team! June has been a nightmare of a month. Next year I promise to make good on this one! Sounds like everyone else really enjoyed it though : )

However, not only for listening to some of my old Pet Shop Boys CDs (and ripping them to mp3 files) but also inspiring me to rip other CDs, especially ones from the same timeframe, like Erasure…

...it’s a great way to start (or end, or get through) the day!

It’s on the PSB site, not on the Paramount’s calendar yet though. OMG! First time they’ve ever played Seattle :) Can’t WAIT!

(Again… Again… Again… Again… ...)

You dress me up, I’m your puppet
You buy me things, I love it
You bring me food, I need it
You give me love, I feed it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it’s easy
You buy whatever I need

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we’ve spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent

You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are

We never-ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we’ve spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent

I’m your puppet
I love it

And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you’re lying next to me

But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we’ve spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) Ooh, I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we’ve spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent

Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we’ve spent
(Ooooh) I love you, oh, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent
(Ooooh) I love you, you pay my rent (It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(Ooooh) You pay my rent (It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(Ooooh) You pay my rent (It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(Ooooh) I love you (It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)
(It’s easy, it’s so easy)

The CDs I have are:

• Please
• Actually
• Introspective
• Behavior

Pet Shop Boys month helped motivate me to get this done… Now if only I had my home theater set up, I could list to them… (I actually can… but it would be better if I had a whole house integrated system, of course).

Now, just to get my other CDs ripped, if we could only have ABC Month, Police Month, Dead or Alive Month, Bronski Beat Month, T-4-2 Month, Simply Red Month, Blow Monkeys Month, Tears for Fears Month, Spandeau Ballet Month, OMD Month, Yaz Month, Erasure Month … and a few hundred more, then I would complete my goal of creating mp3 files from all my CDs…!!

If you’ve done nothing wrong
you’ve got nothing to fear
If you’ve something to hide
you shouldn’t even be here

Long live us
the persuaded we
integral
collectively
to the whole project
it’s brand new
conceived solely
to protect you

One world
One reason
Unchanging
One season

If you’ve done nothing wrong
you’ve got nothing to fear
If you’ve something to hide
you shouldn’t even be here
You’ve had your chance
now we’ve got the mandate
If you’ve changed your mind
I’m afraid it’s too late
We’re concerned
you’re a threat
You’re not integral
to the project

Sterile
Immaculate
Rational
Perfect

Everyone has
their own number
in the system that
we operate under
We’re moving to
a situation
where your lives exist
as information
One world
One life
One chance
One reason
All under
one sky
unchanging
one season

If you’ve done nothing wrong
you’ve got nothing to fear
If you’ve something to hide
you shouldn’t even be here
You’ve had your chance
now we’ve got the mandate
If you’ve changed your mind
I’m afraid it’s too late
We’re concerned
you’re a threat
You’re not integral
to the project

Take these dogs away from me
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah, Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah, Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah, Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah, Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)

Your life’s a mystery, mine is an open book
If I could read your mind, I think I’d take a look
I’m not scared
Baby, I don’t care

What have you got to hide? What do you need to prove?
You’re always telling lies, and that’s the only truth
I don’t care
Baby, I’m not scared

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don’t know why
Oh, take these dogs away from me
Before they, they bite

What have you got to say of shadows in the past?
I thought that, if you paid, you’d keep them off our backs
Where do we have to be, so I can laugh and you’ll be free?
I’d go anywhere
Baby, I don’t care
I’m not scared
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah, Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) I’m not scared (Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)

Tonight the streets are full of actors
I don’t know why
Oh, debarasse-moi de ces chiens
Avant qu’ils mordent
Avant qu’ils mordent
Tonight I fought and made my mind up
I know it’s right
I know these dogs still snap around me
But I can, I can fight

If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn’t treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn’t treat me the way you do – you
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn’t treat me the way you do
If I was you, if I was you
I wouldn’t treat me the way you do – you

(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) I’m not scared (Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) Baby, I don’t care (Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) I’d go anywhere (Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) Baby, I’m not scared (Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah)
J’ai pas peur
J’ai pas peur
(Ah Ah Ah Ah – Ah Aah Aah) I’m not scared
