A cover of the 1979 Village People song “Go West”, about young gay men heading west to San Francisco.
The Pet Shop Boys version was released in 1993, not long after the breakup of the Soviet Union. The video makes allusions to Soviet iconography, with the implication that the chorus is referring to...
[Intro]
Come on, come on, come on, come on
[Verse 1]
(Together) We will go our way
(Together) We will leave someday
(Together) Your hand in my hand
(Together) We will make our plans
(Together) We will fly so high
(Together) Tell all our friends goodbye
(Together) We will start life new
(Together) This is what we'll do
[Chorus]
(Go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) In the open air
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west) This is what we're gonna do
[Post-Chorus]
Go west
This is what we're gonna do
Go west
[Verse 2]
(Together) We will love the beach
(Together) We will learn and teach
(Together) Change our pace of life
(Together) We will work and strive
(I love you) I know you love me
(I want you) How could I disagree
(So that's why) I make no protest
(When you say) You will do the rest
[Chorus]
(Go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) In the open air
(Go west) Baby, you and me
(Go west) This is our destiny
(Go west) Sun in winter time
(Go west) We will do just fine
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west, this is what we're gonna do)
[Bridge]
There where the air is free
We'll be what we want to be
(We'll be)
Now if we make a stand
We'll find our promised land
(We'll find)
[Verse 3]
(I know that) There are many ways
(To live there) In the sun or shades
(Together) We will find a place
(To settle) Where there's so much space
(Without rush) And the pace back east
(The hustling) Rustling just to feed
(I know I'm) Ready to leave too
(So that's what) We are gonna do
[Chorus]
(What we're gonna do is go west) Life is peaceful there
(Go west) Here in the open air
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west) This is what we're gonna do
[Chorus]
(Life is peaceful there)
Go west (In the open air)
Go west (Baby, you and me)
Go west (This is our destiny)
Come on, come on, come on, come on
(Go west) Sun in winter time
(Go west) We will feel just fine
(Go west) Where the skies are blue
(Go west) This is what we're gonna do
(Come on, come on, come on, come on, go west)
[Outro]
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
(Go west)
