Pet Shop Boys - Miserablism lyrics
(tennant/lowe)
---------------
It seems to me there's something serious beginning
A new approach found to the meaning of life
Deny that happiness is open as an option
And disappointment disappears over night
Say that love is an impossible dream
Face the factsthat's what it's always been
Relaxwhat you see is what you've seen
What you getis a new philosophy
(that's what you gotthat's what you get)
(that's what you gotthat's what you get)
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Meanwhile your life is still directed as a drama
With realism on the sparsest of sets
Every performance tends to reach the same conclusion
No happy endings but a message to depress
Saying life is an impossible scheme
That's the point of this philosophy
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
But if is wasn'tand isn't were
You can't be surebut you might find ecstasy
(oh no)
Just for the sake of itmake sure you're always frowning
(get get get)
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth
You knowlife is an impossible scheme
And love an imperceptible dream
(that's what you gotthat's what you get)
(that's what you gotthat's what you get)
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserablismis is and isn't isn't
Miserable
