Boy Strange
Pet Shop Boys
Nightlife (1999)

See Boy Strange on the horizon of love
He's calling to you
What do you say

See Boy Strange as an example of youth
So close to the truth but still far away

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind

When you realise that this boy is strange
It's too late to change your point of view
He's often there when the sun meets the sky
With a perfect alibi unlike you

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind

To talk of common sense is
A complete waste of time
His looks are a crime
Bound to commit

In the eyes of the world he's a borderline fool
Both naive and cruel
Why would you inflict him on you

And he's such a strange boy
D'you think he'll make a good exchange for
The one before a closed door
That you left behind
