    Lyrics:
    Sometimes you’re better off dead
    There’s a gun in your hand and it’s pointing at your head
    You think you’re mad, too unstable
    kicking in chairs and knocking down tables
    in a restaurant in a West End town
    Call the police! There’s a madman around
    Running down underground
    to a dive bar in a West End town
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    West End girls
    Too many shadows, whispering voices
    faces on posters, too many choices
    If? When? Why? What?
    How much have you got?
    Have you got it? Do you get it?
    If so, how often?
    Which do you choose
    a hard or soft option?
    (How much do you need?)
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    West End girls
    West End girls
    (How much do you need?)
    In a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    A West End town, a dead end world
    East End boys, West End girls
    West End girls
    You got a heart of glass or a heart of stone?
    Just you wait ’til I get you home
    We’ve got no future, we’ve got no past
    Here today, built to last
    In every city, in every nation
    from Lake Geneva to the Finland station
    (How far have you been?)
    And a West End town, a dead end world
    the East End boys and West End girls
    A West End town, a dead end world
    East End Boys, West End girls
    West End girls

      ​​@@yankees29what exactly is a "west end girl" tho? I kno it's some English slang, but as an American to me a "west end girl" is a girl with a big bootay lol Why? Because a person's "end" is their butt. And the western part of the US is bigger than the eastern part, so a "west end girl" in American means "bigger butt girl" 😂 I bet you'll never listen to this song the same way again lol

      "The trumpet solo in this version was played by Hague on the Emulator. According to Jacob, "it took about six hours to get the trumpet to sound genuine, purposely playing wrong notes to make it sound more 'jazz'".[14]
      I'm thinking maybe it's why none of their live versions have the trumpet in them.😒

    When my father heard West End Girls for the first time in 1985, he had the feeling that a new era in music was being ushered in. This new synth melody with its melancholy undertone fascinated him. And indeed, the Pet Shop Boys revolutionized Disco/Pop music at that time. My dad thinks it's still a milestone today, and so do I. He made me a huge PSB fan and if I have kids someday, they'll grow up with their songs too❤

    What unbelievable presence Chris Lowe has in the video without a word uttered... Brooding, deep thinking, observant, the quiet epitome of cool... And you know you love it when he lets loose a bit at 2:27. Mesmerizing, evocative of an emotion I can only feel that is beyond language.
