ONE HUNDRED LYRICS AND A POEM - NEIL TENNANT GE...

Everything I've ever done Everything I ever do Every place I've ever been Everywhere I'm going
to Over a career that spans four decades and thirteen studio albums with Pet Shop Boys  Neil
Tennant has consistently proved himself to be one of the most elegant and stylish of
contemporary lyricists. Arranged alphabetically  One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem presents an
overview of his considerable achievement as a chronicler of modern life: the romance  the
break-ups  the aspirations  the changing attitudes  the history  the politics  the pain. The
landscape of Tennant's lyrics is recognisably British in character - restrained and preoccupied
with the mundane  occasionally satirical  yet also yearning for escape and theatrical release.
Often surprisingly revealing  this volume is contextualised by a personal commentary on each
lyric and an introduction by the author which gives a fascinating insight into the process and
genesis of writing. Flamboyant  understated  celebratory and elegiac  Neil Tennant's lyrics are
a document of our times.
