Pet Shop Boys - An Open Mind Lyrics






When we walked in high heels over broken glass
In our checkered past
We took two steps forward, one step back
That was our plan of attack

We were all there pleasure
At the latest whenever
We were never left behind
Single-minded forever
Didn't feel any pressure
Guess we kept an open mind
An open mind

Guess we kept an open mind
Guess we kept an open mind

In the name of fashion and bohemian life
Freshers debutantes
When you don't belong there you don't care what they think
But you know what you want

We were all there pleasure
At the latest whenever
We were never left behind
Single-minded forever
Didn't feel any pressure
Guess we kept an open mind
An open mind

An open mind
Guess we kept an open mind

There is beauty in ugliness
And ugliness in beauty
Everywhere, all the time
Style, ambition
Fading in an admission
Guess we shared an open mind
An open mind

Single-minded forever
Didn't feel any pressure
Guess we kept an open mind
An open mind

There is beauty in ugliness
And ugliness in beauty
Everywhere, all the time
Style, ambition
Fading in an admission
Guess we shared an open mind
An open mind
An open mind

  1. G.... S....

    PSB & Stuart Price did it again!!! Exceptional & nostalgic song

  2. m.... m....

    They did it again! Another PSB song that lingers on and will not get old.

  3. S.... S....

    LOL ! .... probably better than all the tracks on the album.
    B-sides specialists

  4. M.... A....

    Was hoping this fantastic song was on the B-side of Hotspot, where it belongs!

  5. E.... J....

    In an ideal world, this should have been Shameless with dignity.
    They are still late on their high heels...

  6. V.... ....

    Should b on the album

  7. L.... V....

    It's so very beautiful a song so i'm almost crying when listening - Thank you for touching my heart yet again, boys! <3

  8. B.... H....

    Quitaría wedding in Berlin y pondría esta obra de arte en su lugar en el nuevo álbum...

    Excelente, grupo, por siempre el mejor!!! Los Amo mucho!!!

    TOP song of two TOP guys, geniuses, who enchants every work released! Get back to Brazil soon Neil and Chris, everyone here misses you!

  11. J.... B....

    OMG I love Pet Shop Boys❤️

  12. H.... B....

    Decide and An Open mind should have been released as singles instead of Burning the Heather
    Why are they doing this, stucking their best songs into B sides or what the hell they are called now???

    H.... B....

    Haris Baki wedding in Berlin is a piece of shit, much better this song or Decide...

  13. m.... f....

    A Kygo-type song! Very beautiful. Much better than Dreamland

  14. S.... H....

    A totally missed opportunity - this should have been released as a single in its own right!

  15. F.... L....

    Hermosa canción, genial Neil and Chris

  16. P.... M....

    These guys know how to thrill. They've always had this gift. Tears of joy. Thank you again...

    This song is BRILLIANT!!!

  19. O.... C....

    Still listening to this every day since it was released...I always loved the PSB, they did some great things on this decade, but this song is a masterpiece...on the level of their best classics.

  20. 8.... ....

    Got my own Dreamland today and I like this song very very much <3 <3

  27. n.... ....

    Maybe their best song in 10 years.

    n.... ....

    Agree...they did more good things on this decade..but this one is really fantastic. On another level.

  28. T.... S....

    Super Song

  29. T.... I....

    The main tune of this track resembles a lot into Modern Talking

  30. S.... T....

    My second comment here some weeks after release. Best PSB song in at least 10 years x

  31. F.... H....

    If only we could turn back time!

  32. C.... A....

    Foi postado no dia de meu aniversário ,desde os 13 anos escuto PSB

  33. b.... ....

    It numerous listens to grow on me as a beautiful Pop song

  34. G.... W....

    I agree that this should have been the A-side. This is classic Pet Shop Boys. "Dreamland" is vapid and anonymous sounding.

  35. e.... r....

    есть какая-я то старая песня на русском с такой же мелодией! не могу вспомнить название

  36. S.... ....

    Pure gold pops up on PSB b-sides regularly, this shows they still have relevance. Such a fabulous track to throw away where many won't hear it, just the fans

  37. C.... o....

    Great song, great artists, great guys and keep a great open mind!!! Aloha, Kevin

  38. J.... B....

    Pet shop boys make the best B sides.

    They like B sides

  39. r.... ....

    Good old Petshopboys - YEAH

  40. C.... J....

    I'm going through really hard times right now, and having a new PSB album on the horizon is keeping going. Sometimes happiness is just having something to look forward to. Loving all the new songs.

    C.... J....

    Craig - hope you get through the hard times!

    C.... J....

    @James Gregory Thank you James

  41. s.... ....

    Wow, just wowww this song. I have a life-long love affair with PSB. They keep making my soul smile even after all these years.

  42. S.... H....

    If PSB did Eurovision......

  43. t.... ....

    all their recent stuff is brilliant. impatiently waiting for hotspot 👍👍👍👍

  44. s.... ....

    The best song of the last ten years of the boys. The last Albums weren't Pet Shop Boys Albums. No typical PSB Sounds.

  45. L.... ....

    The best track on the single - better than Dreamland, definitely!

  46. D.... S....

    What a massive record. Their best in a very long time

  47. R.... L....

    This is bloody fantastic!

  48. M.... g....

    un tema bien PSB

  49. N.... T....

    How's is this deemed a B side? Brilliant song!!

  50. L.... M....

    For every artist, the unevidable moment comes when their glory is fading somewhat and the outcome of their work has lost its shine and some of its brilliance. The Pet Shop Boys feel like my closest friends when I listen to their music and Neil Tennant's voice has always been able to reflect exactly what I was feeling when I listened to their albums and songs and they still do. Their songs still manage to take me back to those moments in life that a bit hard to deal with, like the phase of my coming-out, or other moments that have caused uncomfortableness or those that respond to your innermost fears and dreams and ambitions. I think that what they aim to achieve in their music is a sense of melancholy and longing for better times or dreams or ambitions and at the same time no one else voices sadness and dysphoria and the disbelief in political institutions and address issues of social awareness better than Neill Tennant and Chris Low have done through their music. I look forward to hear more of their new songs. Their new album cannot be anything else but the perfect soundtrack to a new restored Great Britain that we might be able to see after the Brexit, or otherwise it will continue to make us long back for the moments in life when we still cared about the world around us and actually felt like we could have any influence on the world and our lives and that of others.

    L.... M....

    Yes or no? 😊

  51. R.... S....

    Chris e Neil atacam novamente, uma grande e deliciosa surpresa!!! Thanks guys.

  52. C.... M....

    Nice top music.

  53. S.... N....

    Bravo!! 😁😍

  54. M.... G....

    They are fantastic and their music is eternal

  55. D.... G....

    This song was paying in the store and I thought later, it had to be a good enough song to be played by the CEO/owner /??, to play it !!

  56. R.... R....

    Could this song be about Neil & Chris? A gift for us :D

  57. S.... F....

    this had to be the new single and an a-side!

  58. F.... B....

    amazing song!!!

  59. B.... L....

    Amazing

  60. l.... g....

    Chris Lowe Trademark

  61. D.... A....

    This song is amazing. I just can't get that melody out of my head but I'm glad I can't. I love "Dreamland" and I love Years & Years so it was very nice seeing them collaborating together but this song is so much better than "Dreamland".

    It reminds me of 1988 with the combo "Heart/I Get Excited" where again, the B-side was greater than the A-side even though the A side was good too. I'm truly heartbroken that this won't be on the new album, it deserved to be in there instead of being lost as a b-side or a soon to be released "Alternative/Format" b-sides 3rd album.

    I'm glad I bought the single, already it is out of stock. So sad many people won't have it on CD. Thankfully there's still the Internet.

  62. A.... A....

    This one kind of fell flat, maybe it needs to grow on me but it sounds fairly basic for PSB...

  63. T.... F....

    i would be in heaven if the new album sounded like this

  64. s.... ....

    I like it when hearing it for the very first time.

  65. P.... M....

    Now this is as atmospheric and soothingly uplifting as it is possible. Lots of memories and new hopes. Rhythm of life.

  66. S.... M....

    This is so PSB! Excellent song.

  67. I.... S....

    This track is the best thing happened to music industry in 2019. How come it wasn't the lead single to a new album?

  68. L.... L....

    Beautiful Pet Shop Boys. . . . . Sister Mary Revelation. Lars Larson alingsås sweden

    Love it!! :)

  70. M.... K....

    This is such an exceptional one! Getting so much pethead (and hope not only) love! It's really been a while with any psb track, so much fuss! Max love Neil and Chris, and of course, Stuart!x

  71. L.... B....

    Brilliant! <3

  72. L.... T....

  74. L.... T....

    finally after a long time....they go back to 80"s....thanks

  75. k.... ....

    I've listened to An Open Mind over 100 times. I think it's one of the best tracks PSB have ever recorded.

  76. M.... C....

    sounds good, the voice is a bit too rough, but good.

  77. �.... �....

    Великолепно!

  78. N.... ....

    Hasta el momento, me gusta más que Dreamland...

    N.... ....

  83. I.... K....

    Always big fun of them....

    Classic pop music makers!

  84. d.... i....

    Loved these guys from the start and yeah feeling this should have been the first single as it's miles better then Dreamworld but for the length of their career you cant complain.

  85. S.... ....

    What a tune! ❤️ Beautiful melody!

  86. F.... B....

    this song is brilliant..i love the pet shop boys

  87. A.... M....

    Just beautiful and superb, this is PSB at their best. Between this and "No Boundaries" I'm grooving and loving PSB more than ever.

  88. R.... ....

    A dangerously catchy and uplifting track! I have listened to it countless times and love it even more with every repeat. The Boys are magicians :) They keep up making masterpieces and never disappoint. That's a real wonder. I cannot express how grateful I am for all those brilliant music they gifted the world.


    Dear Neil and Chris, thanks for being unique and making my life better and happier. Your music is like a refuge - I can always turn to your awesome songs to comfort, encourage or uplift. Wishing you the best, I love you so much!

  89. �.... �....

    Обожаю эту песню, сразу слышится 8 нота ПСБ. МЕРСИ! :)

    Very Nice 💛👍

  92. A.... S....

    No dejo de escuchar esta nueva song de PSB geniales 💖💓💓💓💓💓💖😍😍

  93. S.... ....

    Me gusta!! Aunque mecuerda un poco a "the end of the world" del behaviour

  94. J.... M....

    Maestros, siempre serán el mejor grupo pop dance Synthpop del mundo. Los mejores
    The Best PSB

  95. e.... d....

    Love it!!!!!!!❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

  96. N.... S....

    How could they choose Dreamland over this as the single? Dreamland was just dull. This sounds very much like classic Nightlife-era PSB. And I love it.

    N.... S....

    I'd say this is more Yes era than Nightlife.

  97. W.... S....

    Linda linda linda linda

  98. S.... ....

    I love this side B, is fantastic.
