Young Offender Lyrics


Pet Shop Boys Young Offender

You may be broke now, and you may be bored
Call you delinquent or leave you ignored
You'll get what you want
Drive to distraction, crash on the way
Watch your reaction, wait 'till you say
You'll get what you want
It hurts if you can't
     Young offender, what's your defense?
     You're younger than me, obviously
     Young offender, why the pretense?
     You don't agree, I know, I know
I'll do what you want if you want me enough
I'll put on my book and start falling in love
Or isn't that done?
How graceful your movement, how bitter your scorn
I've been a teenager since before you were born
And I'm younger than some
I've only begun
     Young offender, what's your defense?
     You're younger than me, obviously
Will I get in your way, or open your eyes?
Who will give whom the bigger surprise?
Is there fire in your eyes, or the glow of machines?
Watch how your fingers burn over the keys
So sure what you do
I haven't a clue
     Young offender, what's your defense?
     You're younger than me, obviously
     Young offender, how you resent
     The lovers you need, it hurts when they bleed
     Young offender, why the pretense?
     You don't agree, I know, I know
