After The Event Lyrics - Pet Shop Boys

Typical day 

Cars being towed away 

Junk mail through the door 

joins the post on the floor 

Drilling 

always someone drilling 

somewhere in the city 

authorised by committee 

Permission is bestowed 

according to postal code 

Terms and conditions may vary 

It's nothing out of the ordinary

Sometimes someone gets upset 

doesn't hear the laughter 

takes it as a threat 

but it's different after 

After the event 

looks like someone's smiling 

happy to be here 

Blue skies heaven-sent 

There's a kind of glow 

illuminates the flow 

over to the east 

of traffic in the streets 

Not to be outdone 

the school run has begun 

Mothers all arrive 

each in a four-wheel drive 

Sometimes someone gets upset 

doesn't hear the laughter 

takes it as a threat 

but it's different after 

After the event 

looks like someone's smiling 

happy to be here 

Blue skies heaven-sent 

Evening comes as a surprise 

Suddenly someone dies 

Everyone's over-reacting 

with clichés and bad acting 

Misty in the rain 

flowers in their cellophane 

Policemen intervening 

Drama without meaning 

It's perfectly routine 

A statement from the Queen 

Obituaries appear 

You can leave your tributes here 

Sometimes someone gets upset 

doesn't hear the laughter 

takes it as a threat 

but it's different after 

After the event 

looks like someone's smiling 

happy to be here 

Blue skies heaven-sent 

From 

Did you see me coming?
