King’s Cross 2

#1 Post by mylene »

How do you think, will Neil and Chris write a new song about terrorism, after this terrible events? Something like “King’s Cross”.
there's been some speculation

I don't think they should write a new song about it. The lyrics of the original King's Cross did already get a totally new meaning... - After "Dreaming Of The Queen", this is now the second PSB song that gets a new meaning due a dramatic event taking place years after the song was released.

There was already a tragic fire at King's Cross one year after Actually.

Does "Dreaming of the Queen" have a different meaning now to what was originally meant in 1993? I don't think so....

"Kings Cross" on the other hand has several lines that bear a huge coincidence to a disaster at Kings Cross station.

Maybe "No Time For Tears"?...terrorism is a battle too.

"It´s fundamental that we do only exist in our own universe. When you like Pet Shop Boys, you are in our world. This is absolutely crucial to our entire outlook...what we do has an incredibly strong identity and applies only to us. It´s a case of not recognising the existence of anybody else!". Neil Tennant.

Eh, if they do, and they release it as a single, I'll auction all my PSB records on eBay, starting from 1 cent.

I also thouht about it, but I thought that maybe they could just release
"London" as it was never released in UK..., and for example give all the money from it for charity - helping the families of the victims...
This song was written prior to the attacks, and will just be a proof that PSB have ALWAYS loved this city...

After reading Ray's comment, I think that many people might just find this as a "cheep and desperate" promotion efford..., but maybe if it was done in a "right way" - it would make sense? What do you think?

'Let's do it, Let's break the law' might not be the most sensitive lyric
Still waiting to hear the Adam Freeland, Manhattan Clique and Axwell mixes of Integral.

I agree, but maybe they could just slightly re-write the Lyrics for this release - as... Elton did for Lady Di few years ago...

no time for tears would be very fitting, but if there was any debate if they were going to release it as a single perhaps they would now release it for the money to go to victims.but then again its a tough call as there are some who might feel any release of such a song at this point in time wouldnt be proper. its a tough call.

It´s nearly 9 years old song so maybe not. I don´t think they´ll release any charity single this time.

I don't think PSB should be singing about terrorism at all, let alone terrorism in London.

I got a better idea, lets find these bastards responsible, put them all in a room and use the flame thrower. Maybe we can all stone them.
