NEW LONDON BOY Lush. Still got the knack for a melody that tugs at my heartstrings. Lovely chords. Then break for a pseudo-West End Girls rap. Back to the melodic lushness, and the lyrics are more observational young man in town tale, seemingly. 5. DANCING STAR Single 2, Rudolf Nuryev biographical, more historical new boy with talent in town, a proper late 80's sounding Pet Shop Boys single, Domino Dancing-rhythmed, does everything right, ticks the box, tops my personal chart, and links thematically in with New London Boy. The West End Girls and Domino Dancing references are rather blatant. Still, if you can't plagiarise yourself, who can you plagiarise?

Surely it's not financially viable? Even if it's a cheap video it's still going to cost a few thousand pounds at the very least. Hardcore fans are going to stream the song/album regardless (and buy a physical single if one is available), I'm not sure what purpose the video serves?

Hello?

I doubt they make much profit from any aspect of releasing and promoting music, and that they make that on tour. Their tours always go on for years. A New Bohemia was the biggest grower on the album for me, I'd go as far to say I like it more than the first two singles. But still prefer Feel and The Schlager Hit Parade.
