Lyrics:

I know I'm different
I do as I please
A spark inside that I can't hide
A mystery
I dream of the big screen
Marlene up in lights
I am my own creation
I'm in my blue heaven

I like to show it all
Exposed in their unmade beds
I got a mission now
Doing things they won't forget
And how they light up my face
So they can find their own grace
I am my own invention
Yeah I'm in my blue heaven

Let you down, let you down, let you down, let you down
I won't let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down

Noch einen Koffer in Berlin [still keep a suitcase in Berlin]
Suddenly they want me back
Aber nein, bitte, danke, für die Freiheit bleib ich stark [but no, please, thanks, I stay strong for freedom]
Am I the moth or a flame?
As long as I play my game
I am my creation
Yeah I'm in my blue heaven

Let you down, let you down, let you down, let you down
I won't let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down

Und Schnitt, Montage, Totale, Aufnahme Geräusch und Musik und Dynamik und Sprache Marlene im Licht, Kostüm ist eine Pflicht
selbstbeherrscht und kühl ist mein Gesicht
und ich bin mein Produkt ganz von mir gemacht
ich bin mein Produkt ganz von mir gemacht 
[and cut, montage, long shot, recording, sound and music and dynamics and language, Marlene in the light, costume is a must, my face is self-controlled and cool
And I am my product, totally made by myself]

They call me a traitor
They spit in my face
But I'm in my blue heaven
Blue heaven
Blue heaven
Blue heaven

Let you down, let you down, let you down, let you down
I won't let me down, let me down, let me down, let me down

Ich hab noch einen Koffer in Berlin [I still keep a suitcase in Berlin]

[fredyquintero]

Can't stop listening to this song. This is criminally underrated.

[howegav]

Dear Public Service Broadcasting,
Please keep creating wonderful, inspiring and thought provoking music.
👍 👌 👏 🤜🤛

[johnsummers]

I love the way this song seems to be fading out and then hits you over the head with a great ending.

[gavinwright]

Love at first listen. I remember when all music was this exciting to me - it takes a lot these days, but this track is just wonderful.

[hoagy_ytfc]

PSB have a great knack of doing something, for each lap, that’s simultaneously very different to what they did before, while still being distinctively PSB. Love this. Great vocals from Andreya too.

[sparkya]

Quite simply the best British band for some considerable time. Absolutely skin tingling quality!!!

[cillian]

these guys can’t seem
to put a foot wrong in my opinion, i love absolutely everything i’d heard. really looking forward to the new album. i just love the way the guitar cuts through on the heavier parts of this.

got myself some front row tickets for the olympia in dublin in january and I don’t think ive ever been so excited about an upcoming gig ever. it’s gonna be epic

[feelflows]

Every single that’s been released so far has been incredible! Can’t wait for the rest of the album!

[majabl]

Just heard this on 6 Music and enjoyed it so much I stopped what I was doing to actively listen.

If you like this with its dreamy vocal and twangy guitar riff, take a listen to The Joy Formidable too if you aren't already aware of them.

[Rich]

It's interesting to hear PSB tracks with 'sung' vocals on them, it really works. Some classic PSB guitar riffs and drums, reminiscent of Everest and Night Mail. Great stuff.

[Toby]

Always fresh, pushing their boundaries but somehow retain that PSB core of uplifting guitar riffs and percussion bursting on to the soundscape. Simply brilliant!

[davidmiller]

This hooked me immediately.
Uplifting.
Great work all round.

[kubla]

Absolutely beautifully constructed song, musically and lyrically. I salute you PSB

[gonightboat]

PSB just keep getting better . I can see these guys being a super group if they stick at this . Can’t wait to get my hands on this new album and to see them in Southampton later this year . If they will allow me in . Still 100% organic human and will remain so 😁

[filmstaratease]

How I longed for a catchy indie rock/pop song like this, love at first listen. Reminds me the good old 90's britpop days. I LOVE YOU, GUYS <3

[johnfoster]

Stunning voice and performance to match, would love to see more of it from PBS, Great track and made me leap about... am 59 loi

[philipmulville]

Wonderful music and vocals, and what a spellbinding dance performance by Celine Fortenbacher. Terrific.

[Timotion]

This song is so clever and creative in so many ways. Particularly after some research about Marlene Dietrich. Thanks for your music PSB.

[johnnixon]

IMHO the track on the album which encompasses 'PSB' for me! Punchy track and can't wait to see it performed live!

[mikalindqvist]

This is abolutely the best song/video so far for this year. I'm so happy that I was able to see You/(this band) live in Valencia a couple years ago. You are the bestist after Bowie and Avicii - sorry!
