Pet Shop Boys - Love Is A Bourgeois Construct

Текст песни: Love Is A Bourgeois Construct

I've been taking my time for a long time
 Putting my feet up a lot
 Speaking English as a foreign language
 any words that I haven't forgot
 I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
 to wash the dishes or remake the bed
 What's the point when I could doss instead?

 I've been hanging out with various riff-raff
 somewhere on the Goldhawk Road
 I don't think it's gonna be much longer
 'til I'm mugging up on the penal code
 Love is a bourgeois construct
 so I've given up on the bourgeoisie
 Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy

 When you walked out you did me a favour
 you made me see reality
 that love is a bourgeois construct
 It's a blatant fallacy
 You won't see me with a bunch of roses
 promising fidelity
 Love doesn't mean a thing to me

 Talking tough and feeling bitter
 but better now it's clear to me
 that love is a bourgeois construct
 so I've given up the bourgeoisie

 While the bankers all get their bonuses
 I'll just get along with what I've got
 Watching the weeds in the garden
 Putting my feet up a lot
 I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
 moaning periodically
 Just a full-time, lonely layabout
 that's me

 When you walked out you did me a favour
 It's absolutely clear to me
 that love is a bourgeois construct
 just like they said at university
 I'll be taking my time for a long time
 with all the schadenfreude it's cost
 calculating what you've lost

 Now I'm digging through my student paperbacks
 Flicking through Karl Marx again
 Searching for the soul of England
 Drinking tea like Tony Benn
 Love is just a bourgeois construct
 so I'm giving up the bourgeoisie
 until you come back to me

 Talking tough and feeling bitter
 but better now it's clear to me
 that love is a bourgeois construct
 so I've given up the bourgeoisie
