"The Pet Shop Boys wear funny masks. They look like ants explaining to people that they will take over the world from now on. And because they then play "Suburbia" straight away, people don't protest, they even cheer."

Now the city has its butchers

and its gentlemen in black

and a quiet one walks softly

with the night bound to his back

Others bark and bare their molars

strike the table, call it pride

Thorn says little, pays for coffee

lets the noisy wolves decide

He has cuffs as clean as Sunday

hands as harmless as a prayer

that is how the worst ones take you

not with thunder
