It Doesn't Often Snow At Christmas
Closer To Heaven (slow version)
The Sodom And Gomorrah Show (demo)
[released as a part of the Visionare magazine no. 53; also published on the official PSB website]
Christmas is not all it's cracked up to me
Families fighting around a plastic tree
Nothing on the TV that you'd want to see
And it's hardly ever snowing
The way it's meant to be
Like in White Christmas year after year
Bing Crosby, Bing Crosby
Are you listening to me?
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you
The Christmas message was long ago lost
Now it's all about shopping and how much things cost
It's meant to be goodwill as well as synthetic fun
And what this is this year's festive number one
It doesn't often snow at Christmas
The way it's meant to do
But I'll still have a glow at Christmas
Because I'll be with you
Neil: Merry Christmas
Chris: And a happy new year
Give me hope
Give me all your love
Tell me now
My luck is in tonight
Is this real?
Can I learn to trust
How I feel?
Does darkness end in light?
Never been closer to Heaven
Never been closer to Heaven
Suddenly
What was wrong seems right
Seems to me
I'm coming home tonight
I can't wait
Till we meet again
Is it fate?
Does darkness end in light?
Never been closer to Heaven
Never been closer to Heaven
Never been closer to Heaven
Never been closer to Heaven
(Hello everybody, welcome to the Sodom and Gomorrah show)
[Weeeee
Weeeee]
I lived a quiet life
A stranger to champagne
I never dared to venture out
To cities of the plain
I heard about their way of life
Took it with a pinch of salt
The freedom and the time to play
A life so easy
It intrigued me
When you called to say
Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah show?
It's got everything you need
For your complete entertainment
And instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime
Production
I think it's true to say
My life was changed that night
In the free and easy atmosphere
All around me
Someone found me
Whispered in my ear
Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah show?
It's got everything you need
For your complete entertainment
And instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime
Production
Then we went on after hours
There was a place down below
It was there I realised
The meaning of the show
[Pet Shop Boys, Pet Shop Boys]
This all have happened years ago
I've lived to tell the tale
I learn to live where angels fear to trade
Even now I think of how you
Turned to me and said
Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah show? (Sodom and Gomorrah)
It's got everything you need
For your complete entertainment
And instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction (Sodom and Gomorrah)
The Sodom and Gomorrah show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime
Production
(Sodom and Gomorrah)
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction (Sodom and Gomorrah)

Is a once-in-a-lifetime

I deserve a better life
You must agree
I only want a little country house
A dog and a car
Giving will make you feel so good
And much more human than you are
So let me see
Some generosity
Thank you
