Текст песни Pet Shop Boys - How Can You Expect To Be Taken Seriously? (2001 Digital Remaster) (Behaviour 1990)

[Verse 1]
You live upon a stage and everyone's agreed
You're the brightest hope by far that anyone can see
So, when you take the limelight, you can guarantee
You're gaining fame and claiming credibility

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, baby, are you gonna get high as a kite?
Tell me, baby, are you gonna let it happen every night?

[Chorus]
How can you expect to be taken seriously?

[Verse 2]
You live within the law, and everyone assumes
You must find this a bore, and try something new
You're an intellectual giant, an authority
To preach and teach the whole world about ecology

[Pre-Chorus]
Tell me, baby, are you gonna make any other claims?
Tell me, baby, are you gonna take any of the blame?

[Chorus]
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
[Post-Chorus]
(Seriously)
(Seriously)

[Verse 3]
You live within the headlines, so everyone can see
You're supporting every new cause and meeting royalty
You're another major artist on a higher plane
Do you think they'll put you in the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame?

[Pre-Chorus 3]
Tell me, baby, how you generate longevity
Tell me, baby, how you really hate publicity

[Chorus]
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?

[Post-Chorus]
Seriously
(Seriously)
Seriously

[Spoken Interlude]
"Do you have a message for your fans?"
[Chorus]
How can you expect to be taken seriously?
How can you expect to be taken seriously?

[Post-Chorus]
(Seriously)
Seriously
(Seriously)
Seriously
Seriously
