Pet Shop Boys - Undertow Lyrics






There’s an undertow
pulling me to you
There’s an undertow
dragging me down
And there’s an undertow
I’ve got to pursue you
There’s an undertow
whenever you’re around, around, around

Nothing has been spoken of this
Neither of us has said
anything to anyone
but nonetheless I’ve felt
danger when you cross my path
or walk into the room
I cannot escape this fate
It’s my approaching doom

There’s an undertow
pulling me to you
There’s an undertow
dragging me down
And there’s an undertow
I’ve got to pursue you
There’s an undertow
whenever you’re around, around, around

Save me
I can’t help it I’m sinking
Help me get away
But even as I speak these words
I know I’m gonna stay
Oh, where is my guardian angel
when I need him most?
Who’ll be my guardian angel
with danger so close?

There’s an undertow
pulling me to you
There’s an undertow
dragging me down
And there’s an undertow
I’ve got to pursue you
There’s an undertow
whenever you’re around, around, around

I know that there’s trouble coming
I know that there’s trouble coming
I know that there’s trouble coming
and it’s coming soon

There’s an undertow
pulling me to you
There’s an undertow
dragging me down
And there’s an undertow
I’ve got to pursue you
There’s an undertow
whenever you’re around, around, around

There’s an undertow
There’s an undertow
There’s an undertow

    First time I heard that intro I had an eargasm

  14. P.... a....

    Pet Shop Boys still have it!!! They just seem to get better and better over time... so relevant, refreshingly clean crisp modern digital sound..I love it, it's a return to what they do best, good electronic dance music. This ranks for me as their best ever album I think, I particularly like The Dictator Decides, very clever lyrically, Burn is a great upbeat dance tune too.

  15. J.... D....

    I love this song. Very typical Pet Shop Boys. Just the way I love it. 😊

  16. m.... ....

    I like so much

  17. R.... P....

  28. A.... M....

    Dear Pet Shop Boys -- Saw the Super tour in BNA--may be best show I ever saw--are you going to release a vid of the tour??

  29. B.... T....

    The rising chords at the beginning perfectly capture that feeling of romantic danger. Ecstasy and dread rising to a crescendo.

  30. M.... H....

    dance to disco with the pet shop boys.I love them.

  31. R.... R....

  38. T.... B....

    Brilliant as ever. Thank you for the music, Boys !

  39. D.... G....

  42. W.... ....

    This is soooo Freaking Awesome !!!

  43. J.... J....

    Plesase! Single Ya!

  44. B.... M....

    Sadly the best part of the track is the intro, filled with so much emotions gives me goosebumps. Many of their less popular tracks from different LPs are full of great intros and outros like the orchestra ensemble on Beautiful People.

    B.... M....

    A lot agree with you, the intro is better than the rest of the song. It's still a good song though.

  45. s.... ....

    Intro gives me goosebumps

  46. M.... G....

    ooh !! Cool !!! :D

  47. E.... ....

  68. s.... o....

    very new order at its best!

  69. f.... ....

    One of my favs on the album! : )

  70. m.... p....

    the best on the album.

  71. B.... ....

    I should be loving this, knowing my own tastes, but it's not clicking with me. It feels like the song was duct-taped to that intro, the intro stops and a completely different song starts. Sure they use the intro again later in the song but it still sounds out of place to me. Oh well, it's passable none the less, and I love pretty much all the songs on the album.

  72. f.... ....

    Este es el disco que Madonna debio sacar en lugar de su Rebel Heart. Bien por los PSB

  73. C.... M....

    super bello

  74. J.... H....

    OMG OMG Pet Shop Boys are more than back!!!

  75. M.... ....

    This has a bit of a 90s feel to it. Not a big fan of this track.

  76. R.... M....

    What other pop artist has ever used the word 'predicament' in a song? There's no one like the PSB!

  77. M.... D....

    Probably the best of the album. Has a lot more of the classic PSB sound that some of the other songs are missing. Sad robot world may be better in terms of melody. But this would be awesome on the dance floor.

  78. J.... P....

    suena a Who's That Chick? de David Guetta y Rihanna, pero es buena, de hecho todo el album.

    sounds like a Who's That Chick? David Guetta and Rihanna, but it is good, in fact the whole album.

  79. a.... ....

    Undertow for me is the best of the new album. "The Pop Kids" and "Burn" are also great! The others are also good, and the work was amazing! The energy of Pet Shop Boys is always fantastic, the catchy songs, and there will always be critics, after all no one can please everyone. But I want to leave as record an important note. The Pop Kids was so successful as soon as it was launched here in Brazil (São Paulo) that at the gym where I train, played the song in several classes, and even today it is playing, along with VOCAL.
    People where I work they were amazed with the songs I showed them about the new album. Result is that when we work with love, like the Pet Shop Boys do, and disclose this work as I made sure to do, there is a nifty SUPER harmony of happy people and all infected with the new album. I am proud of all the work that Neil and Chris have done to today. We must always innovate, and in this sense SUPER is for there spectacular! I would like to see Undertow as a single! Congratulations!! Hugs

    a.... ....

    +anizio19 that's awesome, man; here in Peru it's being played on radios too. Total success.

    a.... ....

    +AT field They deserve a lot !!! They work hard and I'm happy for them!!! :)

  80. L.... ....

    //// ____ I honestly thought it was a song like " I Want to Wake Up" desdepcion THAT THIS ALBUM OF PSB desepcion

  81. L.... ....

    ////____Sinceramente pense que era un tema como "I Want to Wake Up" que desdepcion QUE DESEPCION ESTE ALBUM DE PSB

  82. S.... B....

    Love it, love it, love it. :D

  83. A.... ....

    This song is very special, I like your rhythm and your lyric. The album "SUPER" is one hundred percent perfect! I love PSB!!! ☺♥♥♥♥♥

    A.... ....

    Adriana 111000...Hi !! I agree, it's 100% perfect :):)

  84. G.... L....

    Awesome !! nice job lowe/tennant

  85. E.... J....

    This track, "Burn" and maybe the "the dictator decides" with a new instrumental are my fav ones. BUt the rest, I have something to say:
    I hope this message gets to the shop boys pet. I love the pet shop boys, but honestly I think this musical marriage with Stuart Price did not work. Are lazy musical arrangements, the pet shop boys I know I do not see since from the Electric. Stuart Price makes simple musical arrangements without innovation, bad tones, no emotion. It seems like a generic Italo house band. PSB gone with Stuart Price.
    And that's not just my opinion, I see musicians on forums, people studios around the world talking about the poor technical quality and musical of the last 2 albums of PSB. I hope one day to return to the shop boys pet that we love, the real pop kids who were as always been my inspiration, now I can listen to PSB anymore.

    E.... J....

     I hope PSB find a good Music Producer as Harold Faltermeyer, Trevor Horn and the final work mixed by David Jacob

    E.... J....

    you are absolutely fucking right.

    E.... J....

    +Edde Jr I actually think it is rather presuptious statement to make, considering if you look at their chart history, especially albums. It is clear to see the most popular (pop), albums, and they tend to be these types. Also they always like their work to sound different, to previous.

    E.... J....

    +Edde Jr The album is fine...I didn't see this lack of creation you saw...And I'm fan since 1987...For me it is better than "Bilingual" and "Nightlife" ( Average albums in my opinion ) ...Anyway..It is impossible to please all tastes..

    E.... J....

    +Edde Jr what's wrong with Italo disco? anyway, this is not generic by any means. Don't bring your negativity, nobody needs it, keep it to yourself and go back to your old copies of Very or whatever album you expected Super to be. Bye.

  86. X.... D....

    Yes, it is that time again! The charts need something to bring it out of it's, "boring doldrums" again, (few exceptions to that comment). They done it in 86-87 with actually, and please, this endured to around the mid 90's, then bigwigs, took over, bought in manufactured bands, who were just a face to an already, written song catalogue, kids did not know any different. This is shake up part 2, "Super" full of big sounds, lush synths, MELODIES, clever lyrics, wake up kids, like what you like, not what others want you to like. Pet Shop Boys are their own creation, and are still around because of that.

  87. C.... S....

    Egyszerűen csak szuper

  88. K.... M....

    Perfeeeeita. Undertow é vida. 👍👍👍👍

  89. T.... A....

    Beautiful!

  90. R.... R....

    AND THAT WAVE, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! That's dragging me down! Pulling to you! WOOW!

  91. R.... R....

    This is ridiculously SUPER!

    R.... R....

    Well put !!

  92. p.... ....

    This is the song that is full of surprises with the intro then the digital beats like a rollercoaster ride it takes you up and down with a fast pace then climbs again at 3 min. great great beyond-super

  93. 5.... ....

    If they don't release this as a single, I'll kill myself.

    5.... ....

    Best track on the new album - love it LOADS.

    This is my favourite song of this album!! n__n

    Mine too - CHOON!

    N.... Q....

    +DrewG75 :O great!

    N.... Q....

    THIS AND "SUPER"

    N.... Q....

    THIS "SUPER" AND "BURN" ALL DESERVE MENTION

  97. m.... ....

    The intro reminds me of West End Girls

  98. T.... ....

    I LOVE Super. It is a masterpiece; I couldn't possibly ask for better. This entire album is PERFECT. Not a single dull track; no, every track is interesting, and a joy to listen to. Anybody who doesn't like it, just needs a new pair of headphones, and turn it up even louder -- and if they still don't like it, well they need a new thought process on what art is -- and that is Super -- a true work of art. The Boys haven't lost a single shred of their masterful ability that is so known and loved; nope, they still got it!! I sense instant chart-toppers... I say, 11 out of 10 stars Boys! LOVE SUPER. Worth every cent I paid for the album, and worth even more.

    T.... ....

    And just because you're assumptuous, and quite frankly, a bit rude, doesn't refute any of the points I made. You assume I was attempting to make my opinion "stronger"? No, I was just trying to say this is how I feel about all the songs on the album. It is merely my opinion. If others can make comments of their opinion, such as "Garbage ! Neil should retire", I'm pretty sure I can say mine, too.  

    T.... ....

    I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm just saying you don't have to put this comment everywhere. I'm not picking an argument

    T.... ....

    +TennantSama I TOTALLY AGREE!

    T.... ....

    I really like Undertow, Sad Robot World, Burn, Say It To Me and Twenty Something

    T.... ....

    TBH' The album 'Electric is very very hard to follow' it was their best album since 'Introspective/Behaviour' I own all their albums & this didn't quite cut it for me, hopefully the next one will be better, this album is too generic, they can do so much better then this
