Suburbia [Top of the Pops - 1986/10/02]

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]

Lost in the high street, where the dogs run

Roaming suburban boys

Mother's got her hairdo to be done

She says they're too old for toys

Stood by the bus stop with a felt pen

In this suburban Hell

And in the distance a police car

To break the suburban spell

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]

Break the window by the town hall

Listen, a siren screams

There in the distance like a roll call

Of all the suburban dreams

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Let's take a ridе and run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]

I only wantеd something else to do but hang around

I only wanted something else to do but hang around

Hang around

[Interlude]

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]

It's on the front page of the papers:

"This Is Their Hour of Need"

Where's a policeman when you need one

To blame the colour TV?

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]

Let's take a ride and run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

You can't hide, run with the dogs tonight

In suburbia

In suburbia

In suburbia

[Outro: Neil Tennant]

Run with the dogs tonight

You can't hide

Run with the dogs tonight
