The Night I Fell In Love Lyrics
couldn't believe my luck was in
I saw him approach
wearing a most approachable grin
When he said hello
I was surprised he spoke so politely
I said I'd liked his show
Well he just smiled
I guess it happens nightly
and so
I fell in love
he had a video camera
I was so nervous
I had to try hard not to stammer
He said
'I'm glad you liked the show
that crowd was dope out there tonight, alright
You wanna see some more?
Well be my guest
You can have a private performance'
I'd fallen in love
though he seemed like such a regular guy
he said we could be
secret lovers
just him and me
Then he joked
'Hey, man!
Your name isn't Stan, is it?
We should be together!'
And he was passionate
I guess I would rate
him a nine out of ten
by then
I'd fallen in love
why have I heard so much
about him being charged
with homophobia and stuff
he just shrugged
he couldn't have been a nicer bloke
Over breakfast made jokes
about Dre and his homies and folks
Neither of us asked if or when
we would see each other again
but I thought that was cool
'cause Iwas already late for school
by then
I'd fallen in love
This song is about homosexual love with Eminem... what a great song :-)
Interesting...
Try this interview with Chris and Neil. This song trips me out. http://www.petshopboys.co.uk/mediaroom/interviewsBody.asp?Question=18&whichInterview=Release+Interview&interviewID=3&interviewContentID=59
Hehehe. I am all about homosexual English artists sleeping with "ganst-uhs" who always sing about the same shit and make stupid movies and take themselves more seriously than the Pope and President combined! Well done Pet Shop Boys, I only wish I could have been a june bug on the wall and seen 'ol Shady's face when he heard the song.
Ha, I love this song, but how do you guys know it's about Eminem?.. And the link didn't work for me.
I guess they all read it in wikipedia, it is where I found about it too.

It's kind of obvious that it is about Eminem because of the reference to homophobia and the Dre part. Ha, it's awesome
Don't forget about the reference to "Stan" by Eminem. "'Hey, man! Your name isn't Stan, is it? We should be together!'"
Maybe he got the wrong impression from Eminem and Elton?
but is Eminem gay also?
but is Eminem gay also?
i first heard this song a few days ago and yeah, it's very fucking obvious he's talkin about Eminem haha...but i still love the song.
Wow not only are the Pet Shops marginally talented, they're also pseudo-intellectual simpletons. Or maybe they're just culturally ignorant and didn't understand Em's words. I dunno. The point is they took a line about an insane person "we should be together" and misinterpreted it as homophobia instead of being freaked out by a person who is obviously trying to symbolically become one with the object of his idol worship.
The West End girls have always made annoying, repetive and silly music but this was a new low and a sad attempt to reclaim their late Eighties fame. Em didn't even dignify it with a comeback song.
Erm, you seem to have completely missed the point. The "we should be together" part has nothing to do with homophobia, it's just a crafty reference to the song Stan to let the listener know the rap star in the song is Eminem. The part that mentions homophobia is about the general controversy of people accusing Eminem of having homophobic lyrics. If you'd actually bothered to find out about this song properly, you'd know that Neil Tennant has stated numerous times that he actually thinks Eminem is a good artist and believes Eminem's defence that in his "homophobic" lyrics,...

That's why he is playing a character in this song too. See the wikipedia article on this song for more info http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Night_I_Fell_in_Love_%28song%29
not really sure what West End Girls have to do with this...

well for starters this was am affectionate parody i don't think that they actually hate Eminem or think he's a homophobe they probably chose 'Stan' cause it was a pretty controversial song

and what do you mean Eminem never replied he replied his reply had him and Dr.Dre run PSB over
