Fluorescent Lyrics


You walk in
And you light up the room

You’ve been living… in a looking glass scene
Since you… were 17
I can’t deny… you’ve made your move
With a heavy cup to spend the occasional army cup

Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Fluorescent

Fluorescent
Incandescent
Fluorescent
Incandescent

You walk in
And you light up the room

At midnight it’s time for business
But who… will bear witness?
To your beauty and refrain
But how well you’ve played the game?
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game, you’ve played the game
You’ve played the game

Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return
Life’s a gamble, throw my dice
Every scandal has it's price
Brighter and brighter and brighter you burn
When you’re in this mood there’s no return

Fluorescent
  • This moody, murky exploration of nocturnal decadence was the last song written for Electric. The Pet Shop pair had decided that they needed one more track for Electric and by this stage, Chris Lowe and producer Stuart Price were in Berlin and Neil Tennant was in Los Angeles. One morning Tennant woke up to find three e-mails from Lowe with ideas for tracks he'd done at home, all of which he liked. Tennant recalled to Electronic Beats magazine: "I sent it back to Chris and said, 'Why don't we make this the ninth track on the album?' And then we did quite a lot of work on this: put the vocal on, turned it into a song,"

    You Don't Love Me Anymore Lyrics


    We've been together for so very long
    But now things are changing, oh I wonder what's wrong?
    Seems you don't want me around
    The passion is gone and the flame's died down

    I guess I lost a little bit of self-esteem
    That time that you made it with the whole hockey team
    You used to think I was nice
    Now you tell all your friends that I'm the Antichrist

    Oh, why did you disconnect the brakes in my car?
    That kind of thing is hard to ignore
    Got a funny feeling You Don't Love Me Anymore

    I knew that we were having problems when
    You put those piranhas in my bathtub again
    You're still the light of my life
    Oh darling, I'm beggin', won't you put down that knife?

    You know, I even think it's kinda cute the way
    You poison my coffee just a little each day
    I still remember the way that you laughed
    When you pushed me down that elevator shaft

    Oh, if you don't mind me asking, what's this poisonous cobra
    Doing in my underwear drawer?
    Sometime I get to thinking you don't love me any more

    You slammed my face down on the barbecue grill
    Now my scars are all healing, but my heart never will
    You set my house on fire
    You pulled out my chest hairs with an old pair of pliers

    Oh, you think that I'm ugly and you say that I'm cheap
    You shaved off my eyebrows while I was asleep
    You drilled a hole in my head
    Then you dumped me in a drainage ditch and left me for dead

    Oh, you know this really isn't like you at all
    You never acted this way before
    Honey, something tells me you don't love me any more, oh no no
    Got a funny feeling you don't love me anymore

    You Don't Love Me Anymore
  • This is an original song, but the video is a parody of Extreme's "More Than Words." The video was shot in black and white, and shows Al and another man with acoustic guitars. Al never actually plays the guitar. Halfway through the video, he loses his pick in the sound hole and smashes the other guy's guitar.
  • The slow tempo and vocal delivery indicate that this is a parody of the sensitive singer/songwriter style, notably James Taylor.

    Shouting In The Evening
  • Vocalist Neil Tennant told Electronic Beats magazine about this song: "There's a quote by the British actor Michael Gambon, who was asked to describe what he did for a living—as an actor obviously—and he said, 'Shouting in the evening!' And the lyric is actually really taken from Lionel Richie 'Dancing On The Ceiling': 'Oh what a feeling, shouting in the evening.' [laughs] No really, it's, 'Oh what a feeling. When you're dancing on the ceiling."'

    "And also, what was great about this," Tennant continued, "what with its unusual structures, as the lyricist I didn't have to come up really with many more lyrics. Amazingly enough, we'd never done 'What? What? What? What?/When? When? When? When?/Why? Why? Why? Why? Now. Now. Now. Now.' So that went in. The vocal manipulation, this was done by Chris (Lowe), in fact."

  • Loeb: "It was inspired by the story in Paper Moon, a movie directed by Peter Bogdanovich. In the movie, a young girl's mother dies and she's trying to figure out who her father is. The song is told from the girl's point of view. Coincidentally, it was made in a summer home of the lead actress Tatum O'Neal."

    Vocal Lyrics


    I like the people, I like the song
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long
    I like the singer, he’s lonely and strange
    Every track has a Vocal, and that makes a change

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung

    It’s in the music, it’s in the song
    Everyone I hoped would be around has come around
    For the music
    It’s in the music, it’s in the song
    And the feeling of the one surround us,
    Oh it’s so strong
    It’s in the music

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long

    Expressing passion
    Explaining pain
    Aspirations for a better life are ordained

    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long

    It’s in the music
    And everything about tonight feels right and so young
    And anything I wanna say out loud will be sung
    It's in the music
    It's in the music
    This is my kind of music
    They play it all night long
    They play it all night long
    And the feeling of the warmth around us all is so strong
    Is so strong
    Is so strong
    Is so strong
    Is so strong
    Is so strong
    Is so strong

    Vocal
  • This paean to raving started off as a joke based on the fact that dance songs don't have vocals anymore (Hence the line "I like the singer, he's lonely and strange – every track has a vocal, and that makes a change). However it then turned into something more heartfelt. Vocalist Neil Tennant recalled to Pop Justice : "I can remember us being on the Discovery tour in Brazil, and on the last night of the tour we were all on the dancefloor – me, our dancers, Chris Lowe, Chris Heath, in this club in either Sao Paulo or Rio, and it was just . I remember having a very similar experience when we were somewhere during the era when 'Music Sounds Better With You' was out, which is quite a long time ago…"

    "You couldn't get enough of that record at the time," he continued. "I remember looking around and everyone was just so happy. Also with 'Vocal', while I didn't do the rave thing in 1988 and 1989, Chris saw the light then and I was thinking of that from his perspective. It's actually a very sincere song."
  • The video was produced and directed by the filmmaker and photographer Joost Vandebrug. It contains a collection of amateur footage shot at raves in the late 1980s, as well as material filmed in the infamous Haçienda in Manchester.
  • This was the final track on Electric, the Pet Shop Boys' first independently released album. It was issued through the duo's own x2 label, via Kobalt Label Services.
  • Electric debuted at #26 on the Billboard 200, the Pet Shop Boys' highest charting album in nearly 20 years. They last went higher with 1993's Very, which arrived and peaked at #20.

    Waiting For Wednesday Lyrics


    Waiting For Wednesday, my stomach doesn't hurt enough,
    Pain always is the sign.
    Waiting for Wednesday, no proof of mine exists,
    So l don't have to take it back.

    Don't want to show you good-bye.
    Show you good-bye.
    Show you good-bye.
    Show you good-bye.

    But you're waiting for Wednesday.
    Waiting for Wednesday.
    Waiting for Wednesday, I pray you'll put me on the spot.
    I do believe you, that you'll love me that you'll leave me.

    What will I do when you come near to me?
    You'll put me on the spot.
    You've been doing this a long, long time,
    Not that you're better than me,
    But that you do it a lot.

    Now I'm waiting for Wednesday,
    Waiting for Wednesday,
    Waiting for Wednesday,
    Waiting for Wednesday.

    I'm gonna show you good-bye,
    Show you good-bye,
    Show you good-bye,
    Show you good-bye.

    Now I'm waiting for Wednesday,
    You're back from out of town,
    The west is dry, your mind is clear,
    And I don't want to be here,
    I don't want to be here,
    I don't want to be here,
    To show you good-bye.

    And I'm waiting for Wednesday, to show you good-bye.

    Waiting For Wednesday
  • This song is about a girl waiting for her period to see if she's pregnant. She's in a bad relationship and is waiting to find out to tell her boyfriend, but by the end of the song, she decides that she'll leave him either way, since she doesn't want to be a victim of his bad behavior.
  • This is the highest-charting song on the Hot 100 with the word Wednesday in the title. The only other entry containing that day is "Wednesday" by the Royal Guardsmen, which hit #97 in 1967.

  • Plumb originally penned this song with her longtime producer Matt Bronleewe as a song competition entry for a commercial campaign. She explained to Billboard magazine: "They wanted something hopeful, something summer-y. We came up with a theme of, 'by ourselves we're good, but together we really make a great team.'"

    Plumb added: "By the way, that campaign went away before they picked a winner … so, just for the record, we didn't lose …And, we have a great song."

    Walked in the place
    Everybody looked down at we
    Disgust on their face
    But we don't mind cause we're too busy smiling
    Never get in my face
    That's not the way to understanding
    Ignorance is blind
    So this time I'm gonna let it ride

    I know
    That I know
    That I know
    That this is

    That I know

    I hate to disappoint you but this is how I feel
    Let me introduce to you myself
    Say Hello to the bad guy

    Can't plead my case
    The jury's out, won't give me a chance
    Because I don't think the same
    They shut down the court and kidnapped the judge
    Now they sit in his place
    Who are you to make up what's right
    Deciding my fate?
    I know your kind, I have and I will carry on

    I know
    That I know
    That I know
    That this is
    I know
    That I know
    That I know
    That this is real

    I hate to disappoint you but this is how I feel
    Let me introduce to you myself
    Say hello to the bad guy
    We're here to make you feel
    Better about yourself
    We're here to introduce you to youself

    Chasing The Sun Lyrics


    It’s a really old city
    Stuck between the dead and the living
    So I thought to myself,
    Sitting on a graveyard shelf
    As the echo of heartbeats,
    From the ground below my feet
    Filled a cemetery
    In the center of Queens

    I started running the maze of
    The names and the dates, some
    Older than others the skyscrapers, little tombstone brothers
    With Manhattan behind her, three million stunning reminders
    Built a cemetery
    In the center of Queens

    You said, remember that life is
    Not meant to be wasted
    We can always be Chasing The Sun!
    So fill up your lungs and just run
    But always be chasing the sun!

    So how do you do it,
    With just words and just music,
    Capture the feeling that my earth is somebody’s ceiling
    Can I deliver in sound
    The weight of the ground
    Of a cemetery
    In the center of Queens

    There’s a history through her
    Sent to us as a gift from the future
    To show us the proof
    More than that, it’s to dare us to move
    And to open our eyes and to learn from the sky
    From a cemetery
    In the center of Queens

    You said, remember that life is
    Not meant to be wasted
    We can always be chasing the sun!
    So fill up your lungs and just run
    But always be chasing the sun!

    All we can do is try
    And live like we’re still alive

    It’s a really old city
    Stuck between the dead and the living
    So I thought to myself
    Sitting on a graveyard shelf
    And the gift of my heartbeat sounds like a symphony
    Played by a cemetery
    in the center of Queens

    You said, remember that life is
    Not meant to be wasted
    We can always be chasing the sun!
    So fill up your lungs and just run
    But always be chasing the sun!

    All we can do is try
    And live like we’re still alive

    All we can do is try
    And live like we’re still alive

  • This is a song about mortality and what to do with the time we're here. "This last year," Bareilles said, "I've been thinking about my life on a grander scale. It feels good to me to tap into a higher sense of consciousness."
  • Bareilles wrote this song with Fun's Jack Antonoff. The pair were introduced through their mutual friend, Sara Quin, one half of twin sister duo Tegan and Sara, who felt the two would hit it off. The first time they sat down to write together, Antonoff played the singer a few demos that he had been working on, one of them being the instrumental for "Brave." The two also penned this tune for The Blessed Unrest. "He's the most incredible human," Bareilles said of Antonoff to Radio.com . "He's so inspiring, so funny, so dear and sweet and charming and talented."

    And Jah of Jacob is deserving of my love
    And God of Isaac reign blessings from above
    Hashem of Abraham will show me the way
    I go down on my knees and this is what I pray

    Strength Of My Life, whom shall I dread
    When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
    Even if there would be an army against me
    My heart would not fear

    Steer clear from weird vibes
    Chuck the spirit evil guise must realize
    Even if there rise a war against me
    In this I trust, it's a must
    Elevated is my head above my enemy
    Surround me with the song of glory
    Take away the scales from my eyes
    Anoint your love upon my life
    Have mercy on my soul and hear me when I cry
    Do not abandon me and do not forsake me
    Leave me on the path of integrity
    Even if there would be an army against me
    My heart would not fear

    Strength of my life, whom shall I dread
    When the evil doers approach to devour my flesh?
    Back them up against the wall
    Stumble and fall
    Them battle y'all and stand tall
    Show me favor when I call
    Back them up against the wall
    Stumble and fall
    Battle y'all and stand tall

    You can have Manhattan
    I know it's for the best
    I'll gather up the avenues
    And leave them on your doorstep
    And I'll tip toe away
    So you won't have to say
    You heard me leave

    You can have Manhattan
    I know it's what you want
    The bustle and the buildings
    The weather in the fall
    And I'll bow out of place
    To save you some space
    For somebody new

    You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you

    Ah

    You can have Manhattan
    The one we used to share
    The one where we were laughing
    And drunk on just being there
    Hang on to the reverie
    Could you do that for me
    'Cause I'm just too sad to

    You can have Manhattan
    'Cause I can't have you

    And so it goes
    One foot after the other
    'Til black and white begin to color in
    And I know
    That holding us in place is simply fear
    Of what's already changed

    Ah

    You can have Manhattan
    I'll settle for the beach
    And sunsets facing westward with
    Sand beneath my feet
    I'll wish this away
    Just missing the days
    When I was one half of two

    You can have Manhattan

    Bareilles describes this conflict between two worlds and the ensuing ending of her long-distance relationship by comparing the sandy beaches of LA with the bustle and buildings of Manhattan. She told VH1: "When I played this song for the folks at the label, they said 'We gotta get this in a Woody Allen film!'"

    Reelin' In The Years Lyrics


    Your everlasting summer
    You can see it fading fast
    So you grab a piece of something
    That you think is gonna last
    But you wouldn't know a diamond
    If you held it in your hand
    The things you think are precious
    I can't understand

    Are you Reelin' In The Years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    Are you reelin' in the years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    You been tellin' me you're a genius
    Since you were seventeen
    In all the time I've known you
    I still don't know what you mean
    The weekend at the college
    Didn't turn out like you planned
    The things that pass for knowledge
    I can't understand

    Are you reelin' in the years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    Are you reelin' in the years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    I spend a lot of money
    And I spent a lot of time
    The trip we made in Hollywood
    Is etched upon my mind
    After all the things we've done and seen
    You find another man
    The things you think are useless
    I can't understand

    Are you reelin' in the years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    Are you reelin' in the years
    Stowin' away the time
    Are you gatherin' up the tears
    Have you had enough of mine

    Reelin' In The Years
  • This song is about recalling times with a girlfriend and a romantic breakup. It's one of the most popular Steely Dan songs, but also one of their least favorite. In Rolling Stone, September 17, 2009, Donald Fagan said, "It's dumb but effective." Walter Becker added, "It's no fun."
  • Steely Dan are known for their meticulous sound - every note must be perfect. This song is sometimes criticized for bringing on overly polished mainstream '70s music.
  • Elliot Randall, who was not a member of Steely Dan, stopped by on an invite from Skunk Baxter while they were recording this and ended up playing the guitar solo. This was one of the first of many times Walter Becker and Donald Fagen would use studio musicians, and by their fourth album, nearly every player was a studio musician. Randall also played on their albums Katy Lied and The Royal Scam.
  • The quadraphonic mix of this song has extra Elliot Randall guitar fills not heard on the familiar stereo version.
  • Randall's guitar solo earned high praise from Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page. According to Classic Rock magazine (January 1999), Page has said it is his favorite guitar solo of all time.
