"My October Symphony" , Pet Shop Boys !



Do álbum "Behavour" [1990] é uma música absolutamente sublime e por sua vez a letra é uma crítica mordaz com requinte britânico à chamada Revolução de Outubro de 1917 e o seu produto final - a União Soviética ; não foi por acaso é que o Muro de Berlim foi derrubado um ano antes da edição deste disco.

(...) How October's let us down / Then and now (...) .

So much confusion
When autumn comes around
What to do about October
How to smile behind a frown?
It's hard to settle down

It's so bemusing
Will they cancel the parade?
We marched each October
Now they say we were never even saved
We must be very brave

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?

So we're all drinking
As leaves fall to the ground
Because we've been thinking
How October's let us down
Then and now

Shall we remember
December instead?
Or worry about February?
Mourn our war-torn dead
Never seeing red?

Shall I rewrite or revise
My October symphony?
Or as an indication
Change the dedication
From revolution to revelation?
