Party in the Blitz - Pet Shop Boys

I hopped off the plane at L.A.X. With a dream and my cardigan Welcome to the land of fame excess Am I gonna fit in? Jumped in the cab, Here I am for the first time Look to my right and I see the Hollywood sign This is all so crazy Everybody seems so famous My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous, That's when the taxi man turned on the radio And a Jay-Z song was on And a Jay-Z song was on And a Jay-Z song was on So I put my hands up They're playing my song, The butterflies fly away I'm noddin' my head like yeah Movin' my hips like yeah I got my hands up, They're playin' my song I know I'm gonna be OK Yeah, it's a party in the USA Yeah, it's a party in the USA Get to the club in my taxi cab Everybody's looking at me now Like, "Who's that chick that's rockin' kicks? She gotta be from out of town." So hard with my girls not around me It's definitely not a Nashville party 'Cause all I see are stilettos I guess I never got the memo My tummy's turnin' and I'm feelin' kinda home sick Too much pressure and I'm nervous That's when the DJ dropped my favorite tune And a Britney song was on And a Britney song was on And a Britney song was on So I put my hands up They're playing my song, The butterflies fly away I'm noddin' my head like yeah Movin' my hips like yeah I got my hands up, They're playin' my song I know I'm gonna be OK Yeah, it's a party in the USA Yeah, it's a party in the USA Feel like hoppin' on a flight Back to my hometown tonight Something stops me every time The DJ plays my song and I feel alright So I put my hands up They're playing my song, The butterflies fly away I'm noddin' my head like yeah Movin' my hips like yeah I got my hands up, They're playin' my song I know I'm gonna be OK Yeah, it's a party in the USA Yeah, it's a party in the USA

There is a better fight A cause close to my heart The struggle against loneliness That's tearing you apart Where are you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who are you gonna turn to out of loneliness? (Loneliness) Like Ringo walking by the canal Downcast and alone You're taking time to play that part A man who skims a stone Where are you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who are you gonna turn to out of loneliness? (Loneliness) When are you gonna not say no and make the answer yes? Who is here to help you out? Tell me, can't you guess? (Loneliness) (Loneliness) Wherever you go, you take yourself with you There's nowhere you can hide From the loneliness that's haunting your life The sense of wounded pride Everybody needs time to think Nobody can live without love Who you gonna run to now from loneliness? (Loneliness) Who could come and help you out? Oh, can't you guess? (Loneliness) When you gonna not say no and make the answer yes? Who is here to help you turn your back on loneliness? (Loneliness) (Loneliness)

Farewell to the mountains Goodbye to the trees So long to the ski slopes Join the absentees Salzburg is a cradle Rocking you no more Memory the only thing That's still worth living for Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Books are in their boxes Manuscripts are packed A dealer expressed interest So paintings were dispatched The ladies from the village Say tearful goodbyes The gardener locks the greenhouse Suspicion in his eyes Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen The world before the war Exquisite in your dreams Still bore the angry children Who only saw extremes You never saw it coming What was it they lacked? The civilised rejected Modernity attacked Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Your old friend Freud has helped you Illuminate the hate Find motive in desire But now it's much too late The train is on the platform The knife is in your back Your suitcases are sitting On the luggage rack Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen Wie wir gehen Auf Wiedersehen Auf Wiedersehen
