Can you Forgive her - depressing man with gay inclinations who wants to be straight tormented by his girlfriend
A diffrent point of view - 2 people in a relationship constantly fighting
dreaming....is about people dying of AIDS
Yesterday..is about insincere people
The THeatre..homeless people
To Speak is A Sin..need i say more
Very is a depressing album.
IN fact they don't have any happy albums..
come on.. stop it music is happy. lyrics is another thing
I'm sorry, how ridiculous.
You cannot strip away the lyrics from the music, just because it does not support your crazy statements about 'most' Pet Shop Boys songs being 'happy'.
The lyrics are an integral part of the Pet Shop Boys music - are you saying we should just ignore them? Why, because it doesnt support your point of view?
The lyrics add real meaning to an otherwise abstract sound.

of course they do. But you dance on music, not on lyrics.
How ridiculous.
Of course music can give you an emotional lift, but if you are talking about the Pet Shop Boys, they *cannot* be characterised as 'happy' song writers.
The vast majority of their work has depressing undertones. Which you apparently refuse to acknowledge.
You have either misunderstood their work, or just dont get it. I suspect its the latter.

Try Westlife.
So whats wrong with happy then? Isnt it something we all desire? Obviously not.

Happiness writes white, wrote Tolstoy. It always easier and usually more rewarding to write about the sadder states of existance. Besides, a sad pop song can still make the listener feel exuberant.

Where exactly did I say there was anything wrong with happiness?
What I said was this: happiness is not a common theme in Pet Shop Boys songs.
If you would like to engage me on this point, feel free, rather than debating something I clearly did not say.
music is happy. lyrics is another thing
