Lyrics:
[Intro]
"You dress me up
I'm your puppet
You buy me things
I love it
You bring me food
I need it
You give me love
I feed it"
[Verse 1]
And look at the two of us in sympathy
With everything we see
I never want anything, it's easy
You buy whatever I need
[Chorus]
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Verse 2]
You phone me in the evening on hearsay
And bought me caviar
You took me to a restaurant off Broadway
To tell me who you are
[Chorus]
We never ever argue, we never calculate
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Interlude]
"I'm your puppet
I love it"
[Verse 3]
And look at the two of us in sympathy
And sometimes ecstasy
Words mean so little, and money less
When you're lying next to me
[Chorus]
But look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Interlude]
[Chorus]
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Chorus]
Look at my hopes, look at my dreams
The currency we've spent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
I love you, you pay my rent
[Outro]
(It's easy, it's so easy)
You pay my rent
(It's easy, it's so easy)
You pay my rent
(It's easy, it's so easy)
I love you
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)
(It's easy, it's so easy)

I was 18 and she was 36, a lawyer. She took care of me. She paid my rent. I would drive her Benz and she would play this song while we enjoyed the day.

[@rockhard9369]

Are you still with her?

[@lavampire100]

@@rockhard9369 nope! I am now 48; so who knows if she's still alive. she was 18 years older than I at the time. Just one of those times in one's life. Young, Tall, cute and handsome, and she was sexy and hot and smart and wealthy.

[@user-uh3os3sp6g]

i want Farleigh to cover this whole song, its so lovely

[@shamimehsanulhaque5244]

Some songs are ageless, and this is one such jewel of a song. Listened to this first back in 1988 on the car stereo of a friend. I was 14. My first awakening to love, and the experience of tender feelings towards women were accompanied by this song playing in the back of my head. It's amazing that after so many years how this sound track have remained a track for ardor and love almost with the same force as in my teenage years! I read the comments under PSB KZbin posts and find that it is almost the same for so many 40 somethings, and 50 somethings all over the world! All those beautiful, unreachable, and heartache producing women from my teenage days have disappeared from my life irredeemably, perhaps sadly; yet what remained was this track, and few other songs like this. What a shock it is to discover that at 46 what became bigger, material, even tangible to the sanity of this life is this song which came to me through a car stereo 32 years ago. What reduced and disappeared were those fantastic women, and the fantasies of love and romance that this song conjured up with the help of my hormones! And needless to say that for many of us songs like 'Rent' and 'Only the Wind' became more meaningful, and we ended up loving the Pet Shop Boys and their amazing soundscape more as we marveled at the futility of all those unrequited loves!

[@fravadero]

I read your post 2x, an I had exact the same feelings like you. We forgot sone loveable girls, but never this music....

[@shamimehsanulhaque5244]

@@fravadero Thank you for your comments. PSB songs become more meaningful and poignant with every passing year, and although the 80s will not return, Neil and Chris still return to their fans with a repertoire of great songs. Glad to have made your acquaintance, a fellow PSB fan- a kindred spirit!

Timeless masterpiece

[@LordHeath1972]

In terms of PSB albums that produced strong singles: What Have I Done To Deserve This?, Rent, It's A Sin, Heart (all top ten hits in the UK including 2 number 1's)... nothing comes close to the sheer magnificence of ACTUALLY. And the album had King's Cross as well.... I mean, what more do you want?! Excellent album.

Esta canción hace 28 años me recordaba a una niña que me gustaba mucho en el colegio, no se porque pero casi siempre me acordaba de ella, y también me acuerdo cuando en el gobierno de Gaviria año 1991 aquí en Colombia vivíamos el tan famoso y polémico apagón, y me salia a la calle en la noche, toda la ciudad sin energía en plena oscuridad me sentaba en el anden a escucharla, es muy buena esta canción.
