Pet Shop Boys record De Menezes track
By CMU Editorial | Published on Friday 20 March 2009
The Pet Shop Boys have recorded a track about the notorious shooting of non-terrorist Jean Charles De Menezes at Stockwell tube station back in July of 2005.
The song will appear as a b-side on the band’s new single ‘Love etc’, and has lyrics that go: “waiting for a bus in Stockwell, cameras on my back, suddenly hearing sirens, sounding a panic attack, got the bus to the station, music playing in my head, ran to get on the tube train, police shoot someone dead”. So, no ambiguity about the subject matter there, then.
The duo’s previously reported new album ‘Yes’ is out on Monday.
