[00:00.00]Love is a Bourgeois Construct - Pet Shop Boys
[01:31.91]I've been taking my time for a long time
[01:35.41]Putting my feet up a lot
[01:39.21]Speaking English as a foreign language
[01:42.77]Any words that I haven't forgot
[01:46.88]I've been thinking how I can't be bothered
[01:50.25]To wash the dishes or remake the bed
[01:54.12]What's the point when I could dust instead
[02:01.71]I've been hanging out with various riffraff
[02:05.58]Somewhere on the Goldhawke Road
[02:09.14]I don't think it's gonna be much longer
[02:12.51]Till I'm mugging up on the penal codes
[02:19.94]So I've given up on the bourgeoisie
[02:24.12]Like all their aspirations it's a fantasy
[02:31.38]When you walked out you did me a favor
[02:34.88]You made me see reality
[02:38.99]That love is a bourgeois construct
[02:42.36]It's a blatant fallacy
[02:46.23]You won't see me with a bunch of roses
[02:50.41]Promising fidelity
[02:54.90]Love doesn't mean a thing to me
[03:01.58]Talking tough and feeling bitter
[03:08.57]We're better now it's clear to me
[03:15.93]That love is a bourgeois construct
[03:23.23]So I've given up the bourgeoisie
[03:30.91]Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
[03:46.32]While the bankers all get their bonuses
[03:49.25]I'll just get along with what I've got
[03:53.43]Watching the weeds in the garden
[03:57.18]Putting my feet up a lot
[04:00.55]I'll explore the outer limits of boredom
[04:04.61]Moaning periodically
[04:08.10]Just a full-time lonely lay about
[04:11.59]That's me
[04:15.71]When you walked out you did me a favor
[04:19.45]It's absolutely clear to me
[04:23.26]That love is a bourgeois construct
[04:26.45]Just like they said at university
[04:30.50]I've been taking my time for a long time
[04:33.93]With all the schadenfreude it's cost
[04:38.37]Calculating what you've lost
[04:45.48]Now I'm digging through my student paper bags
[04:49.35]Flicking through Karl Marx again
[04:52.97]Searching for the soul of England
[04:56.27]Drinking tea like Tony Benn
[05:00.39]Love is just a bourgeois construct
[05:03.64]So I'm giving up the bourgeoisie
[05:07.38]Until you come back to me
[05:22.48]Bourgeois Bourgeoisie
[06:07.63]Talking tough and feeling bitter
[06:14.99]We're better now it's clear to me
[06:22.11]That love is a bourgeois construct
[06:29.41]So I've given up the bourgeoisie
