Jack The Lad Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

Lawrence in the desert 

How was he to know? 

Under so much pressure 

from the men back home 

Play with fire you must be mad 

Are you only Jack the lad? 

Play with guns you must be bad 

or hiding something, Jack 

Telling lies in public 

Breaking codes at home 

Underneath the blankets 

for another role 

Tell these lies you must be mad 

Are you only Jack the lad? 

To feast with panthers every night 

you must be careful, Jack

Don't let them try to restrain you 

This is your only religion 

Don't let them try to detain you 

You're not the only fool 

We all fall, l even Jack the lad 

We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall 

Philby in the desert 

looking for a phone 

waiting on the pavement 

for a call from home 

Play with fire you must be mad 

Are you only Jack the lad? 

Turn your back on friends you had 

They must have hurt you, Jack 

Don't let them try to restrain you 

This is your only religion 

Don't let them try to detain you 

You're not the only fool 

We all fall, even Jack the lad 

We all fall, even Jack the lad will fall
