Lyrics Jack and Jill Party - Pet Shop Boys

Jack and Jill Party

I’m going to a Jack-and-Jill party
A Jack-and-Jill party
Is always gonna start me
On the road to ruin
And who knows where?
When you’ve done your make-up
You can fix your hair
In the doghouse
With the rejects
On the scrapheap
Out of context
I’m such a fool
I had the wrong idea
Should have gone to stage school
And got a career
I’m going out
(To a party
A Jack-and-Jill party)
I’m going to America
A very big subject
America
When we’re walking down the avenue
Hand in hand
Flashbulbs flashing
On command
Possessed of a power to fascinate
It’s almost like
I’m almost straight
And that’s such a great
Substantial way
To deflect hate
In the USA
I’m going out
(To a party
A Jack-and-Jill party)
I’m going to a Jack-and-Jill party
A Jack-and-Jill party
And nobody’s gonna stop me
I don’t care
What they say
These days everybody
Is a DJ
The public reject
Collectors collect
It’s a matter of size
And you’re up for a prize
Taking refuge
From the human race
The only solution
Exploring the space
I’m going out
(To a party
A Jack-and-Jill party)
I’m going out
(To a party
A Jack-and-Jill party)
