Pet Shop Boys - Shameless Lyrics

I'm not sure, but I'd bet money that the instrumental part in the middle is from the tripods theme.

This is a 26 year old song, but it fits the 2010s so well.
Everybody wants to be famous or "famous", no matter how.

Does anyone know who the gravelly female speaks voice is, or if it’s Neil Tennant with his own voice sped up a bit?

Lyric:
I know what you think
It's clear as mud in your eyes
We're the plastic poseurs and prostitutes
You've obviously come to despise
But you don't know nothing
You're not hot enough to matter
You don't understand it's the glamorous life
A dream that no one can shatter
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
I'm ambitious
Believe me, I'm going to be big
I'm a slave to glamour
Applause and clamour
My makeup, my wardrobe, my wigs
Don't call me pathetic
I'm harder than you'll ever guess
Relentlessly tough, for when the going gets rough
The tough get their picture in the press
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
Tell me you love me
Admit it, you're really impressed
Would it not amuse you
For me to seduce you
Have you ever seen me undressed?
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all
We're shameless
We will do anything
To get our fifteen minutes of fame
We have no integrity
We're ready to crawl
To obtain celebrity
We'll do anything at all

Sounds a tad bit like One In A Million.

It's 26 years old, but it could've been made today and still have been 100% true.

This track was a premonition of the age of the reality TV celebrities.

B side should have been A instead

Roland TR-808?

PSB LLevan decadas haciendo musica que te mueve que denucia y es controversial. que cuando hicieron Its a sin hasta el vaticano reacciono....... Son grandes y seguiran siendo grandes

Un lado b que otros grupos desearian. Que grandes.

Have your fame. Smear my name. i don't read the newspaper, i don't watch TV.

just because i didn't bond with my Replika? Seriously?

They should re-release this with a short EP to go along with this theme. This was released in 1993, and they already thought that the bizarre celebreties cult was bad by then...
This song fits in so perfectly with all these dreadful talent shows and the music & showbiz today. A great intelligent statement back in 1993 as it is - so much more - now in 2019.

Would love to know after all these years who it was about.

I love them ! psb forever and ever!!!

only B-side!!!???!!!

UMS MELHORES LP oua cd$ que já ouvi pet shop boys tAMO HISTÔRIAH caras eu amo vocês este disco matou ah pau não ter músicas ruins eu# pet shop boys vocês fazer muito som caras , caras muito som ; muito som eu# ~~~~~~~~~~~ ~y~

Terrific.That´s really PSboys, I mean, the best!!!

We will do anything..

This should be the Trump administration's theme song.

Cancion de la saga Dic 2018

Psb very very good

Wow..PSB

Pet shop boys held their ground.. Singer is cancer, key board guy scorpio.. Bravo

Todos los estilos de musica todos tienen su mayor esponente y Pet Shop Boys en este jenero si duda es la mas grande la mejor no Ahy una que se le acerque quisas depech mode es algo que se le puede comparar pero no Pet Shop Boys es y sera la mejor por siempre

marca registrada

Only a B-Side? WTF! Did't know the song... Sounds very good!

The intro sounds like it should be on catchphrase or some gameshow

He sings the word "prostitutes" as though it's the most glamorous word in the English language.

Anything Neil says sounds elegant.

A song which is more true now than when it was released in 1993.

Who's said PSB is dull? This almost quarter-century aged song beats you!

Алексей Орлов show

Una de mis favoritas de PSB

"We are shameless, we will do anything to get our 15 minutes of fame!" 🎶🎵🎶

Daniel Matraia nice

Work of art English electronic music.-

25 people are SHAMELESS!

Diferente .epoca boa ,grande sucesso

Diese B-Seite ist besser al manche A-Seite von einigen Kollegen I Love PSB-Sound

ils sont trop fort dans leur tube ♥♥♥...trop génial!!!!!!!

회귀본능 자극.. 펫샵의 5집까지는 진짜 순수하고 발랄한 느낌이 지배적이다

For me Pet Shop Boys is one of the best bands of all time! This b side of Very is beautiful song

It was meant to be the closer of Very.

Han sido,son y serán los mejores!

Shameless!

es una de las voces mas melodiosas de todo el mundo son fantasticos

brilhante

펫샵보이스는 사랑입니다

Curtindo aqui do Brasil

I love this song!!!!!!!!!......

One of the best songs of PSB.

this song sums the PSB AND ALL FANS TO A T

Just proves that PSB are timeless.... 22 years on this is still dope

indeed they are timeless also there new album is amazing

EXACTLY!! Life wouldn't be the same without them at all!!

@Lara Martin Yes...Sad thing, is a lot of peole think Kraftwerk, is better than these guys...Weird :):) Take it E-Z :):)

This ought to be the theme tune to X Factor.

brilliant

my book brang me to this f up song ,,.. da"ukkkk .. media and society

my book brang me to this f up song ,,.. da"ukkkk .. media and society

my book brang me to this f up song ,,.. dafuuuuuukkkk .. media and society

my book brang me to this f up song ,,.. dafuuuuuukkkk .. media and society

I have this on tape witch i bought back in 93

Some stars of today pop up in my mind, when I hear this song.
Classical Petshop-Song! Love it. 

This is the True from this World ! Many many Stars are shameless in the modern time !

this was meant to be on very and was almost a single in its own right

@haramsoy Should have been.... A double single pack with GO WEST, mixes everywhere... fantasy..

The national anthem of Max Clifford Nation. Genius as always.

i have the single but cant play it because ican not afford new stulys_needle to my record player JVC L-A55

great song!

66berserker yes it is!

great uplifting song.....funny as much as it gay!

really need to release this classic b-side as a single. More relevant now than it has ever been. Just call it the 'ITV'/'Sun'/'Star' song

Nunca pasan de moda...VIDA ETERNA PSB...

Still cant believe this is a b side after 20years!..Bloody fantastic ♡

いいね。最高！

How ahead of it's time was this track when you see the talentless bland nobodies who appear on reality TV these days?

The single that wasn't. Even Neil and Chris regret not putting it on the front side of Go West. Just such a bloody great track, the Pet Shop Boys really don't get better than this. Superb

Should have been the A side

大好き！！

la mejor cara b de pet shop boys de toda su carrera, maravillosa!

CARA QUE SOM,PERFEITO PARA OS MEUS OUVIDOS.(BRASIL)

Wonderful song !

I like this song.

Arguably their best b-side

Brought a tear to my eyes.

I bet this helped/inspired a lot of porn stars back in the day...

It bugs me how some people don't realize this song is a satire which pokes fun at shameless people rather than appreciate them. I mean, come on people. is it not obvious enough? Some people have no sense of sarcasm whatsoever.

This song IS one of their triumphs but i think it wasn`t included on Very because two Go wests on one album would be too much.

This song is the only song PSB themselves have admitted should have been released as a-side...

I still don't understand why they never released it as a single ... This is ATOMIC.

@harisbaki Indeed, very good observation!

a song ahead of it's time....way before the reality shows frenzy

Listened to this about 50 times so far this morning.

THIS SONG DESERVES A MILLION VIEWS AND A MILLION LIKES !!! NO DISLIKES PLEASE !!! :)

This should have replaced "Yesterday When I was Mad", and "Too Many People" should have replaced "One and One Makes Five", and "Very" would be easily the album of the decade (90s). Both should have been released as singles, and two more top ten hits would be guaranteed.

I have enjoyed a lot it! That's reminded me to the 90's ! Tks a lot!

Awsome song.

Awesome,this should have been a single xxxxx

One of the coolest piece of pop shit ever. Really rave shameless arrangement & perfect message

thanks for posting , i use to have this single...

PSB IS

" K A K K O I I "

(m9´ω｀)ｂ

when I hear this song... I feel the desire to dance naked :P

the pleasure, the priviledge is mine, Freddie:-)

Thanks for sharing this. It's cool.
