Pet Shop Boys - Twenty-Something Lyrics






Twenty-something
good as new
Expectations
got a few
Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
Join the queue

Twenty-something
in the mix
Always that
ironic twist
Got a start-up
good to go
when the money
starts to flow
Oh, Twenty-something
up to tricks

That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way

Twenty-something
Quite a catch
Think you'll ever
meet your match?
You’ve always been somewhat choosy
but you’ll love her for the length
of a good movie
Oh, Twenty-something
Call her back

That's how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Take your smart phone
and make your way home
on your own

Twenty-something
Hard to beat
Check your reflection
walking down the street
Thirty’s calling
round the bend
Will your ideas
ever trend?
Oh, Twenty-something
feel the heat

Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
and so to bed

That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way

    For that that are unaware firstly would like to thank massively Pet Shop Boys for the ebb and flow of creativity and breaking boundaries with this age we live in, saying this because as was saying about being unaware at 30 seconds of the video the man wearing the Prayers T-shirt and Young Gods hat is a group that has been influenced by Pet Shop Boys. At 2:11 you see Leafar Seyers making a cameo this is one of the members of Prayers with Dave Parley, please check them out this great group. Again Give Thanks to Pet Shop Boys in working with Prayers and making this beautiful song and video. Very good essence of capturing what the Blues does and very good justice also. Give Thanks. Thanks for your time and patience.

  37. E.... M....

    What the hell? PSB making reguetton now? JESUS! End of the world must be REAL NEAR! Meanwhile I´ll go puke this all out...

    Fuck you. The least I expect from a video is that the words fit to the pictucture. (But my son said to me t ....

  41. Z.... C....

    The song does not fit to the videio.

  42. T.... ....

  46. S.... N....

    Why his wife was disappointed on him the first day he was out of jail? He needs time to adjust the new life isn’t it?

    S.... N....

    Surely it wasn't the first time he was jailed and the wife appears to have given up hope that he will be a descent man.

  56. A.... M....

    Wow! The video is so realistic and so true. Its shameful what our society is doing. His trying to go straight and NOT given the chance and thus back to the streets that he knows and gets arrested. Wow. So sad. So real.

    Play on replay everyday.

  61. D.... ....

    Не всё хорошо в Америке!

  62. A.... S....

    PARA TODOS LOS QUE DICEN QUE SUENA A REGGAETON dejenme decirles que es TECNOBREGA, un sonido muy bailado en Brasil, repito Brasil así que no se preocupen los fans de PSB, por que ellos no caerían en el pinshe reggaeton ya que ese género musical es basura absurda!!!, así que sigan apoyando a nuestro PSB!!!!

  63. J.... D....

    Well done video and sound.....Period.

  64. j.... p....

    I love this song! When we were twenty somethings life was for living, getting high and getting laid, riding motorcycles and being free. Now at fifty something, all I can do is just about remember how good it was to be twenty something. Love PSB's! xxx

  65. J.... ....

    Si fuera regueton hubieran pedido la colaboración de algún pseudo-cantante guarro de ese pseudo-genero

  66. E.... 8....

    No creo que se pueda decir que es reggeton, Por que esa musica esta horrible. Y esta es facinante

  67. A.... D....

    Being twenty-something years old in a twenty-something year :-)

  68. A.... B....

    O diabo conseguiu ele devolta!

  81. S.... o....

  82. e.... r....

    el video hablar y te dice lo que hay que hacer tu mujer y tus hijos no le falte la comida y el techo la luz y hay que hacer algo si te cojen mala suerte pero tus hijos no pasan hambre nuncar trabajo no hay y no te lo dan por tu aparecia un saludo a todos desde sevilla asi es la vida de dura y triste pero no roban nuncar como los politicos

  83. s.... b....

    Is this the video Leafar Seyer helped PSB develop? Just chillingly real, beautiful

  84. J.... M....

    Si le sacas la melodía cumbiancha tipo solito q le meten en el medio, deja de ser o tener esa reminiscencia q resulta trillada y vulgar. Jarre hizo algo parecido en Magnetic fields part 1.

  85. N.... A....

    a bit heavy handed really.. the video at any rate.

  86. E.... D....

    Как всегда, ГЕНИАЛЬНО !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  93. J.... R....

    San diego. I miss my city it was all ive known everytime i watch this it makes me cry bc ive walked all those streets my city

  94. D.... L....

    I live in a country where regueton (reggaeton) is currently the most popular thing in music, and I find it horrible, faulty, disgusting, etc. and this song made me hate the PSB a litle. And I've followed them since 1993. Very disappointed for whatever reason they did this.

    D.... L....

    Well they always love to try new things and that's not a reason to hate a band; the song is actually quite good and it is in fact based on a classic music sample.

  95. E.... R....

    Great song !!
    Great video !!
    PSB rock !!

  96. r.... r....
