Love Etc.

About Love Etc.

"Love Etc." is a song by English synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys from their tenth studio album, Yes (2009). It was released on 16 March 2009 as the album's lead single. The single was also made available on the US and Canadian iTunes Stores on 24 March 2009, making it the duo's first single to be released in the US, albeit as a digital download, since "Break 4 Love" in 2001. The song was co-written by Pet Shop Boys with production team Xenomania, who also produced the track. Pet Shop Boys describe "Love Etc. " as "a post-lifestyle anthem which sounds like nothing we've done before." The single became the duo's ninth number-one hit on Hot Dance Club Songs chart; the pair thus overtook Depeche Mode to break the record for the most chart-toppers by a duo or group on the Billboard dance chart. The music video was directed by Dutch digital artist Han Hoogerbrugge. The website Stereogum described it as a "horizontally scrolling animated video [that] is part Sonic The Hedgehog (dated video game reference!) and part Pac Man (chomping down on hearts, shamrocks, and cash money), with a lineup of Chrisses, Neils, and others shouting, flexing, unmasking, and turning into draculas." 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,you need more)

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
And your stuck and don't know how (oh)

(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

You need more than a big blank check to be a lover,or
A gulf stream 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 you need love you need love
Too much of anything is never enough
Too much of everything is never enough

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
And your stuck and don't know how (oh)

(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

You need more than Gerhard Richter hangin' 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 that we can achieve the love that we need
I believe, call me naive
Love is for free

(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
Beautiful that it helps
Beautiful that it helps
