Pet Shop Boys - Odd Man Out

Close the shop
Pull down the blinds
If anyone asks why
Tell them it's time
I thought he'd come back
He said he would
The blighter's done himself in
I can't believe he could
Nature's played
me a dirty trick
I'm going to disappear
I want a few years
peace and quiet
far away from here
The law says I'm a criminal
but I can't help the way I am
Trying to find some kind of love
the only way I can
I'm an odd man out
Discretion guaranteed
I don't scream and shout
but I know what I need
I'm an odd man out
an outlaw on the run
There's quite a few
of us about in 1961
One day these laws
will be swept into the bin
No more blackmail or jail
No one doing himself in
Times will change
too late to right the wrong
Boy Barrett's dead and gone
I'm an odd man out
Discretion guaranteed
I don't scream and shout
but cut me and I'll bleed
I'm an odd man out
an outlaw on the run
There's quite a few
of us about in 1961
Nature played me a dirty trick
I'm going to see
I get a few years peace and
quiet in return
You've got a big position
they'd listen to you
You ought to
be able to state our case
Tell them there's no magic cure
for how we are certainly
not behind prison bars come
to feel like a criminal an outlaw
Do you know what I think
Mr Farr I think
Boy Barrett's well out of it
Close the shop
Pull down the blinds
If anyone asks why
Tell them it's time
I thought he'd come back
He said he would
The blighter's done himself in
I can't believe he could
Nature's played
me a dirty trick
I'm going to disappear
I want a few years
peace and quiet
far away from here
The law says I'm a criminal
but I can't help the way I am
Trying to find some kind of love
