“The Silver Age, as I’m sure you all know, is the period in Russia just before the First World War. The lyric was inspired by a poem Anna Akhmatova wrote about St. Petersburg before the revolution.”
Neil Tennant
Quoted from the booklet for the double CD “Format”
[Verse 1]
The prospect of sun
Page after page
Of black and white portraits
A silver age
Scent of a sunset
On a stage
Difficult music
A modern age
[Verse 2]
The palace is still
A frozen cage
Bayonets gleam
A silver rage
Earthquakes predicted
And someday soon
A total eclipse
Of the sun and the moon
[Outro]
Earthquakes predicted
And someday soon
A total eclipse
Of the sun and the moon
