Pet Shop Boys - The End Of The World lyrics

Floods of tears and doors slamming

Stamping feet across the landing

Because of your obligation

To stay home and fight

Sitting down to a composition

Test the limits of your inhibition

If the phone hasn't rung by midnight

It's over tonight

If someone tried, you'd realise

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

Piles of toast and broken promises

Among the books and pens and reading glasses

It seems there's no escape from the humdrum

It's over and done

If someone tried, you'd realise

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

If someone cried, you'd sympathise

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

At midnight in desperation

Imagine total teenage destruction

The Prophets all predicted extinction

The Virgin spoke in apparitions

And if it all came to pass now

You feel we'd all deserve it somehow

But if someone tried (you'd realise)

You'd realise (and sympathize)

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

If someone cried (you'd sympathize)

You'd sympathise (and realise)

It's just a boy or a girl

It's not the end of the world

It's not the end
