suspect they are all on ebay, like Kylie's signed Golden cassette. Capitalism.

Written with invisible ink or braille- to maintain the minimalist look.

I don't write crime
I don't write romance
I don't write westerns
I don't write much do I?
But what I do write I write passionately.

Is the poem ‘Tennant’s extra’? Strong stuff apparently.
Just for the sake of it, make sure you're always frowning.
It shows the world that you've got substance and depth.

Re: Neil Tennant announces new book
Too much interest. Fare has gone up ya'll. 800 quid. But I'll throw in a glossy photo of the Electric box set signed by yours truly.
And tryin' to figure out what happened to 'Germaine Propaine'
"He couldn't have fell off that hard" Ain't no way
"What happened to the way you was rappin' when you was scandalous
That Canibus turned into a television evangelist"
Plus he raps with his regular voice [BOOSH! BOOSH!]
[BOOSH! BOOSH!] (What was that?) Pet Shop Boys

Re: Neil Tennant announces new book
I’ve booked the Talk followed by the signing. Ticket doesn’t mention the fact that I’ve paid an extra £10 to pick up my copy there.
Anyone else had this?

I Bought both so £26 odd, I assumed that the £16 did not cover the book!

Perhaps the venue's version (of a very steep) handling charge? If so, smh.tottenhammattspurs wrote: ↑Fri 27 Jul 2018, 6:23 pm I’ve booked the Talk followed by the signing. Ticket doesn’t mention the fact that I’ve paid an extra £10 to pick up my copy there.

Re: Neil Tennant announces new book
The Amazon listing states
...Which suggests it's more than just the lyrics themselvesOver a career that spans four decades and thirteen studio albums with Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant has consistently proved himself to be one of the most elegant and stylish of contemporary lyricists. Arranged alphabetically, One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem presents an overview of his considerable achievement as a chronicler of modern life: the romance, the break-ups, the aspirations, the changing attitudes, the history, the politics, the pain.
The landscape of Tennant's lyrics is recognisably British in character - restrained and preoccupied with the mundane, occasionally satirical, yet also yearning for escape and theatrical release. Often surprisingly revealing, this volume is contextualised by a personal commentary on each lyric and an introduction by the author which gives a fascinating insight into the process and genesis of writing.
Flamboyant, understated, celebratory and elegiac, Neil Tennant's lyrics are a document of our times.
