von Pet Shop Boys

Worum geht es in dem Song?

"Jack the Lad" von den Pet Shop Boys handelt von einer Person namens Jack, der eine rebellische und risikofreudige Natur...

Lawrence in the dessert
How was he to know?
Under so much pressure
From the men back home.
Play with fire you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
Play with guns you must be bad
Or hiding something, Jack.

Telling lies in public
Breaking codes at home
Underneath the blankets
For another role.
Tell these lies you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
To feast with panthers every night
You must be careful, Jack.

Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool.
We all fall, I even Jack the lad.
We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall.

Philby in the desert
Looking for a phone
Waiting on the pavement
For a call from home.
Play with fire you must be mad
Are you only Jack the lad?
Trun your back on friends you had
They must have hurt you, Jack.

Don't let them try to restrain you
This is your only religion
Don't let them try to detain you
You're not the only fool.
We all fall, even Jack the lad
We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall.
