Pet Shop Boys - It's A Sin [1987]

Les Pet Shop Boys sont un duo new wave britannique composé de Neil Tennant et de Chris Lowe qui se sont rencontré à Londres en 1981.

Grosse pointure de la pop anglaise, les Pet Shop Boys, imposent un style intelligent, illustré par des textes drôles ou graves, mais jamais prétentieux. "West End Girls", le premier single, sort en 1984. Les dix années suivantes, les Pet Shop Boys sortent une demi-douzaine d'albums. Leurs titres les plus célèbres sont "West End Girls" (1984), "Always on my mind" (1987), "It's a sin" (1987) et "Go West" (1993).
 
Les deux hommes remixent des artistes comme Blur, Culture Club ou David Bowie. En 1999, "Nightlife" sort, suivi de "Release", en 2002. Paraissent ensuite les disques "Best Of Disco 3" et "Fundamental".

 

Paroles :

When I look back upon my life

It's always with a sense of shame

I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

At school they taught me how to be

So pure in thought and word and deed

They didn't quite succeed

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to

It's a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it

Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it

Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it

Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care

And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life

Forever with a sense of shame

I've always been the one to blame

For everything I long to do

No matter when or where or who

Has one thing in common, too

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a sin

Everything I've ever done

Everything I ever do

Every place I've ever been

Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
