"...Drunk" tests the limits again

""Is it junk?" No, not at all, Neil. The Boys break out the rhyming dictionaries and test the limits of our patience again, but in a friendly sort of way, as always. File this under R for "Ridiculously Lengthy Song Titles", or T for "Tender yet forceful". The songs rhymey-chimey cuteness would strike us as sophomorish coming from anyone else, but the "Shameless" Pet Shop Boys can get away with it. This is one of the best selections from the album Nightlife."

Two of the absolute best B-sides yet from any PSB single!

"And yes, I suppose "YOTMYLMWYD" is alright too, I suppose. I really only buy these import maxi singles for the b-sides, not to mention the enhanced video that many of them feature as well. However, this video is, even by PSB standards, just plain weird. I guess what it's trying to say that, at both the beginning and the end, there are numerous couples lying down together (All drunk? Could be), with them all dancing in the middle portion. The real highlight of this single is of course, the excellent techno-dance tune "Lies". Disposable? I hardly think so, former reviewer. You probably haven't been a fan of this duo for as long as I have to realize that it's their style. As for "Sail Away", it really sounds like the definitive tune to be played on any sea cruise, for it's soothing qualities. So, until their next single, keep on dancin' to the cool beat of the Pet Shop Boys!"

This B-side F-"Lies" High

""Lies" is a triumphant Chris Lowe project featuring a rare un-vocoded vocal by the aforementioned. Fabulous tune. Just as mesmorizing as "Casting A Shadow" or "Closer To Heaven.""
