Pet Shop Boys - Suburbia (Arthur Baker 7'' Version) [unreleased]

From the sleeve notes on Erasure Ultra Rare Trax Vol.2: "Denied a Number 1 placing Xmas '89' by Cliff Richards (sic) 'Mistletoe and Wine'. Say no more!!! Excerpt mixed by those Art of Noise People."

It is basically an old-school "Cut & Paste" remix of the extended mix, with a few overdubs. I don't know when this was originally released (probably shortly after the original song in 1989?), but it came to my attention sometime in the mid-nineties.

I have no idea if the Art Of Noise had anything to do with this unofficial remix (I kind of doubt it), but that was the claim!

Note: Cover artwork is from the official US cassette single of Stop!

[verse]
She walked in with the sly look
She said we had to talk
She was sorry one more time
Her words not worth a dime
I did not say a word
I wished I had not heard

[verse]
She was back on the game
A desire she could not tame
Was our life a short vacation
Was it I who was to blame
Was it all just for the thrill
or a need she could not kill

[bridge]

We said goodbye again
Once again, we are just friends
I smile and I look down
You know I can't pretend

[chorus]
We said goodbye again
Once again, we are just friends
I smile and I look down
You know I can't pretend

[instrumental]

[verse]
It was a life that she knew well
and it soon had cast its spell
It was a natural reaction
No need for introduction
She knew just what to do
She was ready for some action

[verse]
What we had was not enough
She could not stand to be alone
She craved the naked hunger
The stranger's eyes upon her
She was afraid of growing old
She needed to be told

[bridge]

We said goodbye again
Once again, we are just friends
I smile and I look down
You know I can't pretend

[chorus]
We said goodbye again
Once again, we are just friends
I smile and I look down
You know I can't pretend

[instrumental]

[verse]
What we had was not enough
She could not stand to be alone
She craved the naked hunger
The stranger's eyes upon her
She was afraid of growing old
She needed to be told

We said goodbye again
Once again, we are just friends
I smile and I look down
You know I can't pretend

No need for introduction
She knew just what to do
She gave instant satisfaction
She was ready for some action

She knew just what to do
She was ready for some action
She gave instant satisfaction
She was ready for some action
