Pet Shop Boys — The End of the World

[Verse 1] Floods of tears and doors slamming Stamping feet across the landing Because of your obligation To stay home and fight Sitting down to a composition Test the limits of your inhibition If the phone hasn't rung by midnight It's over tonight [Chorus] If someone tried, you'd realise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world [Verse 2] Piles of toast and broken promises Among the books and pens and reading glasses It seems there's no escape from the humdrum It's over and done [Chorus] If someone tried, you'd realise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world [Chorus] If someone cried, you'd sympathise It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world [Bridge] At midnight in desperation Imagine total teenage destruction [Interlude] [Verse 3] The prophets all predicted extinction The virgin spoke in apparitions And if it all came to pass now You feel we'd all deserve it somehow [Chorus] But if someone tried, you'd realise (You'd realise and sympathise) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world [Chorus] If someone cried, you'd sympathise (You'd sympathise and realise) It's just a boy or a girl It's not the end of the world [Outro] It's not the end
