Twenty-Something - Pet Shop Boys, Kornel Kovacs

Twenty-something

Good as new

Expectations

Got a few

Find an issue

Get ahead

Got it sorted

Like you said

You’re twenty-something

Join the queue

Twenty-something

In the mix

Always that

Ironic twist

Got a start-up

Good to go

When the money

Starts to flow

Oh, Twenty-something

Up to tricks

That’s how you are

Or have to be

In a decadent city

At a time of greed

You can make believe

That it’s all you need

Sometimes it’s hard

Day to day

To pay your way

Twenty-something

Quite a catch

Think you’ll ever

Meet your match?

You’ve always been somewhat choosy

But you’ll love her for the length

Of a good movie

Oh, Twenty-something

Call her back

That’s how you are

Or have to be in a decadent city

At a time of greed

You can make believe

That it’s all you need

Take your smart phone

And make your way home

On your own

Twenty-something

Hard to beat

Check your reflection

Walking down the street

Thirty’s calling

Round the bend

Will your ideas

Ever trend?

Oh, Twenty-something

Feel the heat

Find an issue

Get ahead

Got it sorted

Like you said

You’re twenty-something

And so to bed

That’s how you are

Or have to be

In a decadent city

At a time of greed

You can make believe

That it’s all you need

Sometimes it’s hard

Day to day

To pay your way
