Jack The Lad - Lyrics by Pet Shop Boys


Lyrics
Ooooooh oooooh
Lawrence in the desert, how was he to know
Under so much pressure from the men back home?
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Play with guns, you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack!
Telling lies in public, breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets, for another roam
Tell this lies, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
To feast with panthers every night
You must be careful, Jack! 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 fall, even Jack the Lad We all fall, even Jack the Lad We'll fall
Filthy in the desertlooking for a phone
Waiting on the pavementfor a call from home
Play with fire, you must be mad
Are you only Jack the Lad?
Turn your back on friends you had
They must have heard you, Jack! 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 fall, even Jack the Lad We all fall, even 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 fall, even Jack the Lad We all fall, even Jack the Lad We'll fall...
