Love Is A Bourgeois Construct Lyrics - Electric - Pet Shop Boys

I've been taking my time for a long time 

Putting my feet up a lot 

Speaking English as a foreign language 

Any words that I haven't forgot 

I've been thinking how I can't be bothered 

To wash the dishes or remake the bed 

What's the point when I could dust instead? 

I've been hanging out with various riffraff 

Somewhere on the Goldhawke Road 

I don't think it's gonna be much longer 

Till I'm mugging up on the penal codes 

So I've given up on the bourgeoisie 

Like all their aspirations, it's a fantasy

When you walked out you did me a favor 

You made me see reality 

That love is a bourgeois construct 

It's a blatant fallacy 

You won't see me with a bunch of roses 

Promising fidelity 

Love doesn't mean a thing to me 

Talking tough and feeling bitter 

We're better now, it's clear to me 

That love is a bourgeois construct 

So I've given up the bourgeoisie 

Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie 

While the bankers all get their bonuses 

I'll just get along with what I've got 

Watching the weeds in the garden 

Putting my feet up a lot 

I'll explore the outer limits of boredom 

Moaning periodically 

Just a full-time lonely lay about 

That's me 

When you walked out you did me a favor 

It's absolutely clear to me 

That love is a bourgeois construct 

Just like they said at university 

I've been taking my time for a long time 

With all the schadenfreude it's cost 

Calculating what you've lost 

Now I'm digging through my student paper bags 

Flicking through Karl Marx again 

Searching for the soul of England 

Drinking tea like Tony Benn 

Love is just a bourgeois construct 

So I'm giving up the bourgeoisie 

Until you come back to me 

Bourgeois, Bourgeoisie 

Talking tough and feeling bitter 

We're better now, it's clear to me 

That love is a bourgeois construct 

So I've given up the bourgeoisie
