My father brought the tape of the Pet Shop Boys - Album Very and this album had songs which definitely help me make some good memories. I felt almost all songs were VERY good :) Mind you this was 1993-94!
I can never forget the song Liberation and Go West. I always wondered, what liberation meant. But I was more intrigued by the video which would consistently play on MTV early in the morning or breakfast time. I loved the song Young Offender and Can you forgive her. Loads of meaning, loads of memories playing them again and again. And guess what these songs have never left me :)
Added song is one such special one which has loads of meaning,
Elvis magic with words and voiced out by these gentleman from England!
One of the youtube video comment said that, British song videos are as good as Short films. Its 34 years to this song and it kind of feels it never aged.
I love the characters in the video - the grumpy character played by Joss Ackland, Chris Lowe who seem to be expressionless while driving and only rolling eyes and Neil Tenant trying to stay calm during the drive whilst getting spooked by the old man's behavior. None the less a short story amongst itself.

The humor of being a bilingual illiterate was indeed very well crafted, reminded me of Kipling though :)
Cheers
PS - I wish to learn, not to react at all from Chris Lowe - come what may - Not reacting saves so much of time, being quiet saves so much of time, and Chris Lowe does it to perfection, even though its scripted!
