Lyrics The Performance of My Life - Pet Shop Boys

The Performance of My Life

A brave face
Stiff upper lip
Will do the trick
Look
The mask is firm
The face is mine
It seems fine
Until the final day
I’ll play this part
The only way
I can
For to live
I have to give
The performance of my life
What’s the truth?
Well I won’t bore you
With the truth
I knew
It would be tough
Right from day one
But you go on
Until the final day
I’ll play this part
The only way
I can
For to live
I have to give
The performance of my life
Made it to the top
Although the road was steep
And there I had a dream
A vision of love
Revealed in sleep
Right on cue
I fell in love with you
You caused
Many a tear
But I had applause
I had a career
Until the final day
I’ll play this part
The only way
I can
For to live
I have to give
The performance of my life
