Pet Shop Boys - Beauty has laid siege to the city (Official Audio)

[@MarkJeynes]

who agrees that sometimes their B sides like that are better than the 'A' sides? These last few releases have all had absolutely amazing B sides....

[@theglaz66]

In the US it was their very first single, WEG. But the B side was AMCGA, that’s the song that started my life long journey with them

[@MarkJeynes]

@@theglaz66 yes also been a HUGE fan since the start and have always loved their B sides in truth... they tend to be the ones I still play over and over now - more than the big hits. This has an essence of We All Feel Better in the Dark to it.

[@andreavelazquezv]

Absolutamente todos sus lados B son los mejores!

[@troyconnolly9053]

@@MarkJeynes Absolutely. I’ve put an Albums worth of them together on a CD Like having a second excellent Album to Enjoy

I really love their B-sides too; they have released two compilation albums so far, I'm really waiting for a third ! Meanwhile, I have a compilation of these B-sides (from Fundamental to Nonetheless) on my channel

classic psb sound, haunting but emotional and lush at the same time. a return to form.

"return to form"? what form? the form you prefer? what a tiresome, meaningless cliche.

This is one of those hidden pop gems that make me grateful to be a PSB fan since my teenage self, 35 years ago, to be alive and able. This is the kind of artistic expression that connects me to the world, as well to my self. The implied kindness, the sweetness, the calm...

I'm secretly celebrating loving this band for 40 years now. You know, certain things add a lot to the value of life itself. Here is one more bliss PSB moment :)

[@henbane2247]

It doesn't have to be a secret. They are a great band. They are also great live

[@LostwaveObsession]

@@henbane2247 Well yes, secretly as in a quiet night in, haha. Love them live. It's hard to choose which concert I enjoyed the best, but I met them after the concerts a few times and that was always special. Probably the time at the NEC when they signed my rarest items, and the way Chris looked at me whilst signing the speaker sleeve to see that I was dressed identically haha! OH! The Savoy, with the shouty men, and we were front row, that was a fantastic intimite moment... or maybe at Brighton Pride. You could see Neil was overwhelmed, it was etched on his face :)

[@andreavelazquezv]

Esta canción me transportó a una época muy específica de mi adolescencia: cuando escuchaba música de la radio tarde en la noche durante las vacaciones de verano. Qué gran capacidad de los Pet Shop Boys de evocar buenos recuerdos, de verdad que son unos grandes artistas.

[@lasarojoel1439]

This is one of the greatest songs PSB have ever recorded. It's got so many nods to the past and present while still sounding a bit like it's from the future. ❤❤

[@soft-giant]

Pleasant quality of this song particular! Love this Pet Shop Boys style like Jack the Lad! Tender and romantic feel! 🫠

[@alainbrebrech8497]

Every time I listen this new surprising song "Beauty laid...", I am transported to a world where emotions float like soothing waves. This song is a true musical gem that reminds me why I have been passionate about music for so many years. 🎶Each note resonates with an implicit sweetness "une certaine douceur...", a kindness that envelops and soothes the mind. The delicate melody and touching lyrics create a symphony of calm and happiness, reminding me of the beauty of the present moment. This kind of artistic expression reconnects me not only with the world, but also with myself. An ode to life, a tribute to the simplicity and purity of feelings. There is something timeless about this music, a quality that transcends epochs and generations, a hidden gem that deserves to be savored with each listen. 💖🎶

Oh my goodness! How do you guys keep putting out music that is not only good, but it sounds like you guys have not compromised your musical style for modern sensibilities? I feel like I'm hearing something you all put out in the 80s, not in November of 2024. Well done, Neal and Chris!

Pet Shop Boys - Beauty has laid siege to the city Lyrics The beautiful are laughing One finds them in the park Wandering by the roses Often after dark Beauty has laid siege to the city One sees it everywhere In the stubbornness of spinsters Or a toss of flaming hair The senses are often overwhelmed By the scent of love in the air And the moment When beauty Does its duty And deigns to catch your stare Thе beautiful are fearlеss One finds them late at night Wandering way past their bedtimes With wide eyes strangely bright Beauty has laid siege to the city In Knightsbridge they’re all of a flutter Hearts are beating a little too fast With nostalgia for the gutter Innocence and beauty are friends Walking hand in hand The boys that dive from Chelsea Pier Live in a promised land The beautiful are happy One sees them everywhere Floating down Piccadilly Their scent is in the air Beauty has laid siege to the city The ugly are fighting back Passing laws Enforced by bores Beauty is under attack The beautiful are dancing In dark rooms to the east Emerging from the ruins Their numbers have increased Beauty has laid siege to the city An army of lovers invades The young and pretty Are showing no pity In gorgeous escapades Beauty has laid siege to the city Some say it isn’t worth tuppence It may Be supposed That those who oppose it Will one day get their comeuppance The beautiful are laughing One finds them in the park Wandering by the roses Often after dark
