Up Against It Lyrics - Bilingual - Pet Shop Boys

News in this city 

breaks without pity 

Long after the war has ended 

we're still in fatigues 

Up against it 

The higher you fly 

the further you fall 

Up against it 

wondering why 

we fought after all 

Such a cold winter 

with scenes as slow as Pinter 

Synchronise your watches 

There's still time to kill

Up against it 

Drinking this swill 

to sweeten the pill 

Up against it 

The more that it hurts 

the less that it works 

Wrapped in nostalgia 

to queue for a show 

Back to Trafalgar 

One kiss then I'll go 

So deep in quicklime 

the bones of an old crime 

I knew a man who raked them over 

He's still suffering 

Up against it 

Buried so deep 

it gives me the creeps 

Up against it 

The longer you hate 

the more that it grates 

Up against it 

Look left then right 

and run for you life 

The more that it hurts 

the less that it works
