Beschreibung

<b>Featuring a new introduction by Jon Savage, Faber presents a beautiful paperback edition of <i>One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem </i>by Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys.</b><br><i><i><br></i>Everything I've ever done<br><i>Everything I ever do</i><br><i>Every place I've ever been</i><br><i>Everywhere I'm going to</i><br><i><br></i>Over a career that spans four decades and fourteen 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, <i>One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem </i>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. </i>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.
