If you haven't got their Yes album yet, you should.

This is just lovely. There's something a little bit "Burt Bacharach" about the melody and time-signature. There's a wistfulness about it, which I associate with George Michael too. I think it's the muted horn sounds throughout.



Small man
big world
Lost beyond the pale
I know you
inside out
I can tell the tale

Across the sky
a change of time
Last night I lost a day
I'm here and there
or anywhere
away from Manderley

And if I were
the King of Rome
I couldn't be more tragic
My fate to roam
so far from home
in search of my lost magic

Oh, baby come back
Oh, baby come back to me

The desert moon
A new lagoon
We glide upon the surface
Night falls fast
No shadows cast
Arriving without purpose

Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today

And if I were
the King of Rome
I couldn't be more lonely
With so much scope
to dream and hope
someday you'll deign to phone me

Oh, baby call me
Oh, baby call me today

I long for
your inscrutable pale face
I hunger for
your beautiful embrace

one of my favorites off the record.

you kill me

the intro somehow always reminds me of new order's "ruined in a day"

good song tho.

Love this track. And Yes really turned out to have staying power. I find myself getting cravings to hear various track from it all the time.

Yes is my favourite Pet Shop Boys album ever.

It's such a return to form.
