The Lost Room
Pet Shop Boys
Sent away to school
We would talk too much in sheets and take our discipline in teams
They trained us to be hard
For cruelty of man who’d ask and none of us it seems
And we
In the lost room I hide away
We would play the strangers’ games that any boy might like to play
In the lost room both night and day
Candles flickered casting shadows on the monsters and their pray
Mother I wrote to you
But your answers only said that it’s important to be brave
Father was far away
In a corner of the empire where we never shall be slaves
For wе
In the lost room a boy could see
How survival of the fittest makе destruction of the weak
In the lost room a tyranny
Was imposed by those who quote they’d never turn the other cheek
Crash and then again
But the servants cleaning dormitories cared for what we say
Crack it’s only pain
And important to be disciplined when war in on the way
They say
We will obey
In the lost room I hide away
We would play the strangers’ games that any boy might like to play
In the lost room both night and day
Candles flickered casting shadows on the monsters and their pray
In the lost room a boy could see
How survival of the fittest make destruction of the weak
In the future the time will tell
Running riot under orders would create a living hell
Lost
Mother I'm lost
Lost
Mother I'm lost
