Pet Shop Boys — The Survivors

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant] Cross a windy bridge One winter night Past Embankment Gardens Enter warmth and light [Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant & Katie Kissoon] Face the music (It's never easy) Forget the chill Face the future (It's never easy) Find the will [Chorus: Neil Tennant] If life is worth living, it's got to be done One might be forgiven for thinking it's a life on the run Many roads will cross through many lives But somehow you survive [Verse 2: Neil Tennant] Look around Picture what's in store Is this the final edit Or is the subject now a bore? [Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant & Katie Kissoon] Don't shrug your shoulders (It's always easy) You can't ignore [Chorus: Neil Tennant] That life is worth living, it's still worth a damn One might be forgiven for thinking it's something of a sham Many words may make it sound contrived But somehow we're alive [Bridge: Neil Tennant] The survivors, our heads bowed The survivors, at memorials for other faces in the crowd [Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant & Katie Kissoon] Teachers and artists (It's never easy) And Saturday girls In suits or sequins (It's never easy) Or twinsets-and-pearls [Chorus: Neil Tennant, Katie Kissoon, Neil Tennant & Katie Kissoon] If life is worth living, it's got to be run (Life is worth living, it's got to be run) As a means of giving, not as a race to be won (Means of giving, race to be won) Many roads will run through many lives But somehow we'll arrive Many roads will run through many lives But somewhere we'll survive
