Pet Shop Boys - Requiem In Denim And Leopardskin Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought it was like a film
Reviewed but never seen
Where everybody played themselves
As a drama king or queen
The music was overwhelming
Glittering and thin
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Verse 2]
I visualised the flashback
School, punk rock, success
Parties, too much of everything
The clichés, the candles, the mess

[Pre-Chorus]
Lucien in the scene with David
Brian in a tux
A copy of Blitz in Zanzibar
Old Hollywood redux
Ossie's last collection
Biba's closing sale
A little more rouge on the powdered cheeks
But the base is pale
[Chorus]
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Verse 3]
It ended with a motorbike
A search for evidence
Poring over old photographs
To make it all fake sense
Glamorous in its own way
Shouting above the din
Solemn and shabby like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Pre-Chorus]
Johnny's wearing brothel-creepers
Malcolm's round the block
Adam's in a Jarman film
The look is 'Let It Rock'
A Johnson's leather jacket
Hair by Keith at Smile
All you need to make it big
Is sex and style
[Chorus]
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Chorus]
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Chorus]
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin

[Chorus]
This is our last chance for goodbye
Let the music begin
Shining and soaring like a requiem
In denim and leopardskin
