Suburbia Lyrics By Pet Shop Boys

    lost in the high street where the dogs run
    roaming suburban boys
    mother’s got her hairdo to be done
    she says they’re too old for toys
    stood by the bus stop with a felt pen
    in this suburban hell
    and in the distance a police car
    to break the suburban spell

    let’s take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia
    you can’t hide run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia

    break the window by the town hall
    listen a siren screams
    there in the distance like a roll call
    of all the suburban dreams

    let’s take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia
    you can’t hide run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia

    i only wanted something else to do but hang around
    i only wanted something else to do but hang around
    i only wanted something else to do but hang around
    i only wanted something else to do but hang around

    interlude

    it’s on the front page of the papers
    this is their hour of need
    where’s a policeman when you need one
    to blame the colour tv

    let’s take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia
    you can’t hide run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia

    take a ride and run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia
    you can’t hide run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia

    run with the dogs tonight
    in suburbia
    you can’t hide
    in suburbia
    in suburbia
    in suburbia
    in suburbia
    in suburbia
