Currently Listening To:

Album: Nightlife / Label: Parlophone UK / Year: 1999

Sitting here listening to the Pet Shop Boys’ song “I Don’t Know What You Want But I Can’t Give It Any More.” It’s basically sung from the point of view of a guy who was in love with a girl who left him for another guy.

Could that guy be me? I don’t know yet, but I’m aching to find out.

Here are the lyrics.

Did you get what you want? Do you know what it is? Do you care?
Is he better than me? Was it your place or his? Who was there?
Did you think it was wrong? Do you find that it’s worse than it was?
Has it gone on too long? Do you mind that it hurts me? Because
You’re breaking my heart

I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
You’re breaking my heart

Was it cracking the code or just filling in time? Was that all?
So then why’d you go back to the scene of the crime? Did he call?
Shall I take further blame or another assaullt on how it was?
Then we’ll get to the fact that it’s always my fault just because
You’re breaking my heart

I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
You’re breaking my heart
I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
I don’t know what you want but I can’t give it any more
You’re breaking my heart

Don’t know what you want….
Don’t know what you want….

Vicious stuff. Listen to a sample from the song here.
