The closing song on Electric, “Vocal” is a house anthem that celebrates the transformative power of connecting with a piece of music while on the dance floor. As per usual, the Pet Shop Boys manage to make it sound both ecstatic and elegiac.
[Verse 1]
I like the people
I like the song
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
I like the singer
He's lonely and strange
Every track has a vocal
And that makes a change
[Chorus]
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
[Verse 2]
It's in the music
It's in the song
Everyone I hoped would be around
Has come along
For the music
It's in the music
It's in the song
And the feeling of the warmth around us all
Is so strong
It's in the music
[Chorus]
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
[Refrain]
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
[Verse 3]
Expressing passion
Explaining pain
Aspirations for a better life
Are ordained
[Chorus]
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
[Refrain]
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
It's in the music
[Chorus]
And everything about tonight feels right and so young
And anything I'd want to say out loud will be sung
[Refrain]
It's in the music
It's in the music
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
They play it all night long
[Chorus]
And the feeling of the warmth around us all
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
Is so strong
[Verse 4]
I like the people
I like the song
This is my kind of music
They play it all night long
I like the singer
He's lonely and strange
Every track has a vocal
And that makes a change
