Pet Shop Boys - Love etc.

Music video by Pet Shop Boys performing Love etc..

[LucreDenouncer]

This song is criminally underrated. It should be a classic by now. It is for me, at least

[Heather-fjrb]

It’s taken me 11 years to find this song. I remember watching it at my grandmas when I was little and apparently I never stopped banging on about “the man in the bouncy ball”. As I grew up I was desperate to find the song but I couldn’t remember any lyrics, only a man bouncing around in a ball and “green playing card symbols”. Then out of pure luck, 11 years later a random New Years Eve playlist happened to have the Brits Medley by the pet shop boys on it. I’ve never jumped out of a chair quicker! I must say it’s a relief for myself and my whole family because I’ve never given up on trying to find it! 2021 is off to a magnificent start for me! Excellent song.

[AstroJr]

There's something hypnotic about this song that makes me play it on loop, always...

[raffishizing]

This may be the ultimate blend of PSB irony, sincerity, politics, romance, and just plain fun.  It's a privilege to be alive at the same time as these guys.

[orange_hoonigan]

Well, this song aged like a fine wine..
The more you listen, the more you fall in love with it

[iliascohen]

Well, this is Pop Art! Acoustically and visually. And that's what makes Pet Shop Boys sooo unique....

If you search this song by yourself you have a great musical taste ☺️✨

Yo recién conocí ésta canción cuando los Pet shop boys dieron su primer concierto en Lima en el 2010. Me gustó de inmediato. En las radios nunca la pasan.

[Rob_J_Tipper]

This is one of my all time favourite songs by the Pet Shop Boys. I have to agree with others that this is so underrated.

A brilliant song with great lyrics and the video is so clever ❤❤❤❤

[liveausbogota]

I really love this song. It's not actually my favourite song but it's definitely the most meaningful song in my life. It doesn't matter how much you get in terms of material stuff or empty achievements, in the end love is what really fills you.

[nitzandCarAdvizer]

I swear God I was looking for this song few years since I was heard it when I was a child.
I'm 22 now after a few years I thought it was a 90s-00s hit and searched the whole world with 0 results.
Finally today was the big day! Can't believe this awesome music launched at 2009.
Please make more music ! There were nights without sleeping searching for this gold!

this is one of the best music videos ever.

ove etc. Lyrics
[Intro]
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more

[Verse 1]
Boy, it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine
And a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut
You need luck
But you're stuck and you don't know how
[Chorus 1]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to get far
(Don't have to live)
A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful but it helps
(Don't have to buy)
A house in Beverly Hills
(Don't have to have)
Your daddy paying the bills
(Don't have to live)
A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful but it helps

[Post-Chorus 1]
You need more
Than a big blank check to be a lover, or
A Gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
Somewhere chic on another shore
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need love
[Interlude]
You need love
You need love

Too much of anything is never enough
Too much of everything is never enough

[Verse 2]
Boy, it's tough getting on in the world
When the sun doesn't shine
And a boy needs a girl
It's about getting out of a rut
You need luck but you're stuck
And you don't know how

[Chorus 2]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to get far
(Don't have to wear)
A smile much colder than ice
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful, but it's nice

[Post-Chorus 2]
You need more
Than the Gerhard Richter hanging on your wall
A chauffeur driven limousine on call
To drive your wife and lover to a white tie ball
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need more
You need love
I believe
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
That we can achieve
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
The love that we need
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
I believe
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
Call me naive
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
(You need more)
That love is for free
(You need more)

[Chorus 3]
(Don't have to be)
A big bucks Hollywood star
(Don't have to drive)
A super car to go far
(Don't have to live)
A life of power and wealth
(Don't have to be)
Beautiful but it helps

[Outro]
Beautiful but it helps
Beautiful but it helps

[josephpaice]

[maximilandriel]

I searched for that song for about 10 years... im so happy right now. I watched that music video on ViVa when i was 11 or 12. Never saw it again. But the "bouncy ball man" kept appearing in my head so often... im so happy ♡

[brazilianmusicportuguesely]

This hit was a refreshing gift from Pet Shop Boys! They will be remembered forever! I think they still can give us many hits! Thank you guys for the compromise with fans!

A great comeback for the Pet Shop Boys at the time, even has that 80's feel to it...

[Aramanth]

The animation is wild.... somewhere between early video game and the art you see on currency and stamps. _A smile much colder than ice_ ❄
