Pet Shop Boys - Jack The Lad lyrics

(tennant/lowe)

---------------

Ooooooh oooooh

Lawrence in the deserthow was he to know

Under so much pressure from the men back home?

Play with fireyou must be mad

Are you only jack the lad?

Play with gunsyou must be bad

Or hiding somethingjack!

Telling lies in publicbreaking codes at home

Underneath the blanketsfor another role

Tell these liesyou must be mad

Are you only jack the lad?

To feast with panthers every night

You must be carefuljack!

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

We all falleven jack the lad

We all falleven jack the lad

Will fall

Philby in the desert

Looking for a phone

Waiting on the pavement

For a call from home

Play with fireyou must be mad

Are you only jack the lad?

Turn your back on friends you had

They must have hurt youjack!

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

We all falleven jack the lad

We all falleven jack the lad

Don't let them try to restrain you

This is your only religion

Don't let them try to detain you

You're not the only fool

We all falleven jack the lad

We all falleven jack the lad

Will fall...
