I Get Along

About I Get Along

"I Get Along" is a single by the Pet Shop Boys from their album Release. A love song, Neil Tennant has also hinted that it can also be interpreted as commentary on the then fraught relationship between British prime minister Tony Blair and New Labour architect Peter Mandelson after the latter had to resign again from the British Cabinet after a second major scandal he was involved in. The song, like its parent album, also stands in contrast to the Pet Shop Boys' predominantly electronic catalogue of songs, primarily having a pop/soft rock feel, opening with a piano, and featuring rock-style guitar and drums (even if synthesised). There is only sparse actual synthesised sounds in the song. The video, which portrays young actors in a New York City artist's studio and does not draw on the song's political subtext, was directed by Bruce Weber, who had worked with the band before, most notably for their video for the 1990 single "Being Boring". It also features a rare appearance of Tennant playing an acoustic guitar. more »

Feeling like I'm stuck in a hole
Body and soul
While you're out of control
Now I know why you had to go
Well I think we both know
Why it had to be so
I've been trying not to cry
When I'm in the public eye
Stuck here with the shame
And taking
My share of the blame
While making
Sudden plans that don't include you

[Chorus]
I get along, get along
Without you very well
I get along very well

Now I know you'd much rather be
With rock royalty
Instead of someone like me
The big boys are back and we need them, you said
Think it was something you'd read
And it stuck in your head
Even though I don't suppose
That's as far as it goes
You've go quite an appetite
For being wronged and in the right
Well from now on it won't affect me

[Chorus]

The morning after the night before
I'd been alerted
To your lies
I phoned you up
Your calls were all diverted
Took a long time to track you down
Even then you were defiant
It's not what you think it is, you said
And proceeded to deny it

So I lost my patience at last
And it happened so fast
You belong in the past
I've been trying not to cry
When I'm in the public eye
Stuck here with the shame
And taking
My share of the blame
While making
Sudden plans that don't include you

[Chorus]
