Lyrics:
[Intro]
Октябрь!
[Verse 1]
So much confusion
When autumn comes around
What to do about October?
How to smile behind a frown?
It's hard to settle down
[Verse 2]
It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?
We marched each October
Now they say we were never even saved
We must be very brave
[Chorus]
Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?
[Verse 3]
So we're all drinking
As leaves fall to the ground
Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down
(Down, down, down, down, down)
Then and now
(Woah)
[Verse 4]
Shall we remember
December instead?
(December)
Or worry about February?
Mourn our war-torn dead
(War-torn dead)
Never seeing red?
[Chorus]
Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?

[@RetroCore]

So many memories of my early teenage years. Listening to the Behaviour CD in bed while falling to sleep.

[@matthewjburt6482]

This album was the soundtrack to my first year at University. I think it's one of their strongest albums and gets better with every play.

[@RetroCore]

@@matthewjburt6482 It's a fantastic album for sure. My favourite of the older albums has to be Actually. I'm lucky enough to own the limited Japanese CD of Behaviour with it's beautiful felt covered box and gold text.

[@hipstamom]

Same here. I listened to this album all day and night.

[@vivianmakri2280]

Same here right now ❤️ what a perfect album...it’s nice to have a go-to albums... and this is one album to go to. And stay there ❤️

[@segagenesis1989]

Whoa Mark! I was surprised to see your comment pinned to this video! The Pet Shop Boys are one of my favourite bands of all time! You have good taste! :)

[@hansdharma679]

One of their best underrated songs

[@TheReverantChoir]

In my opinion, their best one.

[@ltmaillt]

not under-rated by me!

[@cridiego]

Not by me too. One of their best ones.

[@chrisalfano589]

The best one

[@provatos]

When history becomes inspiration for a masterpiece. This song is the essence of the Pet Shop Boys: accessible and high art at the same time, in a perfect balance

[@BioDieselEstate]

Vangelis Provias, You have nailed it. A most eloquent, succinct comment. Very well put.

[@claraharriis1103]

Best ever

that violin section 4:43 is brilliant !

How can one downvote such masterpiece? How can you expect to be taken seriously?

[@jamesg5700]

October 1990: the world was at my feet and this was in my car's CD player. Life was good.

[@fafa6173]

I am right there with you....never realized how raptured in joy was my life then....no cell phones, social media, etc; and the wonderment and freedom that the Pet Shop Boys were to my ears!

I have the cd

[@albertovernago328]

I cannot forget the afternoon of the 19th of October 1990 when I bought "Behaviour" ! Carefree days...youth...different world. Each October I listen "behaviour" , and obviously this masterpiece.

Such a beautiful song, and with Johnny Marr on guitar!

[@MagalhaesChristiano]

The best album ever !!! 🇧🇷

[@carlospincolini2926]

Música y letra simplemente "imperecederas"

[@philipmccarthy6175]

My favourite PSB track , soulful , melancholic and the great Johnny Marr.

[@gordonalain]

This is actually one of my favourite PSB songs of all time.... maybe because I'm born in October... a month that's rarely considered as special....even a little dreary....

[@elliottbrianc]

Gordon Desodt October birthday here too. Amazing song.

[@JCesar-xf2bk]

How come October is not special? It IS! I was born in October too! :-)

[@taradebouvre5195]

So was I. October is the best month of the year.

[@l.schwartz9866]

October is the best month. Temperatures moderate, leaves color and dazzle, Halloween and the other holidays on the horizon! What is not to love?

[@StudioMargalima]

I consider it *very* special, bro. For many reasons...

[@MrEvodio65]

Just discovered this beautiful song.

Bittersweet melancholic anthem. I fear dying only because I may not find this song in the next incarnation.

[@rodrigonavia5313]

La mejor mezcla entre melancolía, elegancia, violines, bateria y el alucinante efecto Guaguaguagua de Jhonny Marr.....tremendo!

Tears of joy are streaming down my face as I think of the first time I ever heard this song. Those were some of the greatest days of my youth...I love the Pet Shop Boys forever!! xx

[@edonosocuadra]

Perfect Song ...

[@KidMrRemixes]

Back in October 1990, when this album was released, I was working in a hotel in the Channel Islands. I had no way of listening to the album as I had no cd, cassette or record player. So I used to ‘borrow’ the hire cars, returned by hotel guests, from the hotel car park and drive around the island listening to the cassette in the evenings. ‘Driving through the night, it’s so exciting....’

[@jdb7752]

[@jamesverday7880]

In October 2020, this song makes so much sense.

[@johnsr1975]

We studied this song in 6th year in English. The album Behaviour shouldn't have had a full stop at the end of it's title

[@Unzyme]

The full stop is probably the biggest mistake they've ever made.

[@desertrance]

Such a elegant and beautiful sound great times. "So much confusion"...

[@zeidnasser154]

It's October again .... listening to this classic and remembering years gone and how awesome the Pet Shop boys still are. Thanks and best wishes to Chris and Neil.

[@niltonaleixo1831]

[@anthonyjames4648]

Reminds me a lot of "Boring" which i also love!

[@IrvoDominguez]

I love this song, is one of my sentimental favorites. I found it very moving every time I listen to it. The string arrangement makes me go out of this world. Such a fine song, such deep insight I got while listening.

Столько смятения С приходом осени. Как быть с октябрем? Как улыбаться, хмурясь? Так трудно прийти в себя... Это просто ошеломительно. Отменят ли парад? Мы маршировали каждый октябрь... Теперь говорят, что нас никто и не спасал, Мы должны быть очень отважными. Должен ли я переписать, изменить Свою симфонию октября? Или следовать указанию и Отдать предпочтение не Революции, а Апокалипсису? И все мы пьем, покуда Листья падают на землю. Ведь мы размышляем над тем, Как октябрь подводит нас То и дело... Может, нам стоит вспомнить о Декабре вместо этого? Или волноваться о феврале? Оплакивать павших в бою, Забыв о красных? Должен ли я переписать, изменить Свою симфонию октября? Или следовать указанию и Отдать предпочтение не Революции, а Апокалипсису? Автор перевода - Владимир Румянцев. (Vlad.i.miR)

[@AlekseyYankovsky]

они типа прониклись нашим октябрем? ага...но сначала была либеральная февральская ))

[@claraharriis1103]

Never to late ever to find the best music by Neil and Cris

[@sergiysvirkov4669]

The song is as soulful as "Go West". Both songs are sung on behalf of a post-Soviet citizen living in the early 90s, when the Iron Curtain had just fallen, when many Soviet people wanted to leave for the West in the hope of a brighter future. I remember those days, even though I was a teenager then. This song touches me very much for the soul. Tears of longing for Europe come to my eyes, as well as from "Go West".

In 1991 i fell in love for the first time. Not knowing it would be the only time in my life. Behaviour was "our" album. All those many hours falling in love with each other in my childhood single bed, in that first autumn and winter we shared. I know I'll never feel anything like that again and that crushes me.
