Pet Shop Boys - You Know Where You Went Wrong Lyrics






Two men on the street
Drinking something cheap
No home
No family
It's cold
Nowhere to sleep
Passersby never catch their eye
Anywhere
One man drinks the other swears

You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
...

The old man can't understand
No one will shake his hand
I gave security bonds
And colour TV
It costs a few lives
Someone's son always dies
No one shakes his hand
He don't understand

You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
...

This is the history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand
What's going on anymore
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl
Who don't understand
What's going on anymore
(What's going on oh oh oh)

Two girls and a phonograph
One looks the other laughs
"He could have been mine
Why did I change my mind?"
The other girl says "admit"

You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
...

This is the history of the world (of the world)
Of every boy and every girl (ah ah the world)
Who don't (who don't)
Understand (understand)
What's going on anymore (what's going on)
The history of the world
Of every boy and every girl (every boy and girl)
Who don't (who don't)
Understand (understand)
What's going on anymore (what's going on)

You know where you went wrong
You know where you went wrong
You know
...

    Lyric:
    Two men on the street
    Drinking something cheap
    No home, no family
    It's cold, nowhere to sleep
    Passers-by never catch their eye
    Anywhere, one man drinks, the other swears
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    The old man can't understand
    No one will shake his hand
    I gave security, bombs and colour TV
    It cost a few lives
    Someone's son always dies
    No one shakes his hand
    He don't understand
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    This is the history of the world
    Of every boy and every girl
    Who don't understand what's going on anymore
    The history of the world
    Of every boy and every girl
    Who don't understand what's going on anymore
    Two girls have a photograph
    One looks, the other laughs
    He could have been mine
    Why did I change my mind?
    Then hands on hips
    The other girl says: Admit! Admit!
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    This is the history of the world (of the world)
    Of every boy and every girl
    Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)
    What's going on anymore (what's going on?)
    The history of the world (oh)
    Of every boy and every girl (Every boy and girl)
    Who don't (who don't) understand (understand)
    What's going on anymore (what's going on?)
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know
    You know where you went wrong
    You know where you went wrong
    You know

    of every boy....well they hit the genius mark with this early tune.

  37. M.... H....

    Actually, you are mistaken. I own the Vinyl Record of West End Girls that was released in 1984 on the Bobcat Records label. The B-side is the original version of "One More Chance," which IMO is far better than the album version on Actually. This 12"single of West End Girls was released in 1984 before Please was released by EMI in 1985. Actually wasn't released as an album until 1987.

    M.... H....

    First time I've heard of it! Nice, here is a link if anyone is interested https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-vfszNwfGRE
