Summer sands have lost their charm
Let ’em go
Autumn winds will do no harm
Let ’em blow
Save up all your dreams
Oh, save them, save them
Live beyond your means
but keep your dreams
Won’t you?
You go from A to B to C
on demand
like algebra or geometry
diagrammed
Your resolution’s weak
but we’re not all damned
The future’s not so bleak
in this wasteland
when…
Always, always
Summer comes
always
You’re too over-sensitive
that’s the charge
Any criticism starts
to loom too large
Caution to the winds
throw it, throw it
Don’t cash in your dreams
or you will blow it
…

Pet Shop Boys enjoyed a hot and sunny start to their “Dreamworld” summer tour over the past week. Thanks to all who danced through the heatwave with us in Taranto, Istanbul and Athens. Next up is Paris on Wednesday, before Chris’s homecoming at Lytham Festival this Saturday. See you there!

Wednesday’s concert at Blind Fest in Istanbul was such fun thanks to the fabulous audience.
“Pet Shop Boys projected Pride images onto giant screens, sending a well-deserved salute from the stage to our streets where Pride is banned…. The concert, which began emotionally and romantically, suddenly transformed into the warm, party atmosphere of Ibiza towards the end with the weight of the bass and the magnificence of the lights. The stage was fantastic. Right in the middle of the past and the future, of sadness and resistance; we both danced and felt the power of love and music side by side.” (Review from Radio Cazkolik.)
Now we’re in Athens for our Release Festival performance tomorrow evening.
