---|---|---|---|---|
1 | For Some Reason I Thought You’d Been Around A Lot Longer Than 12 Years, But Then That’s Probably A Testimony To What You’ve Achieved. I Would Consider It A Compliment For People To Think That Way! | Pet Shop Boys | 0:39 | |
2 | You Guys Started A Lot Of The Techniques I Hear On Today’s Records. Would You Hold Your Hand Up And Claim A Little Bit Of Credit For That? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:52 | |
3 | Do You Think Sampling Has Gone Full Stretch Now, Can It Go Any Further, Are We Now Oversampled? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:22 | |
4 | This Album ‘Bilingual’ Contains A Lot Of Latin Rhythms, Was That Intentional? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:15 | |
5 | Your Music Always Has A Depth To It And This Album Really Reflects That! | Pet Shop Boys | 1:00 | |
6 | On The Single ‘Red Letter Day’ There’s Another Track ‘The Boy Who Couldn’t Keep His Clothes On’. Why Didn't That Track Find Its Way On To The Album? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:02 | |
7 | When You Give Someone A Track Of Yours To Be Re-Mixed, Do You Just Let Them Get On With It Or Do You Give Any Direction At All? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:08 | |
8 | Do You Think Your Music Is More Rhythm Driven These Days? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:59 | |
9 | Your Songs Do Achieve The Aim Of Coming Back To The Hook, The Difference Being That You Make More Interesting Records! | Pet Shop Boys | 0:33 | |
10 | ‘Discoteca’ Opens The ‘Bilingual’ Album, A Song Which I Understand Has Been Around For A Few Years. Do You Have Songs That Take Time To Develop And You Keep Going Back To Them? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:50 | |
11 | ‘Single’ Has This Real Nice Percussive Section And Also An Irony In That Song Which Crops Up In A Lot Of Your Lyrics, That Appeals To You Doesn’t It? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:58 | |
12 | Having Travelled Considerably Making Music And Also Sold Records World-Wide, Do You Think The British Are Still Up There, At The Cutting Edge? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:19 | |
13 | Would You In Some Respects Consider Yourselves Entertainers Now Especially When You Play Live, It’s A Real Show? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:57 | |
14 | ‘Metamorphosis’ Is To Me Classic Pet Shop Boys, Harmonies That Arrive At You! | Pet Shop Boys | 0:48 | |
15 | Neil You Could Probably Put Your Lyrics In A Very Simple Narrative Form Over A Backing Track, Almost Poetic, Have You Ever Thought Of Doing That? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:32 | |
16 | ‘It Always Comes As A Surprise’, Is This Autobiographical? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:17 | |
17 | You’re Also Recognized As Producers And At One Time There Was A ‘Tag’ Situation, Where Acts Came To You To Have Your Name On It, Were You Aware Of That? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:01 | |
18 | Chris You’ve Managed A Certain Amount Of Anonymity In That You Can Still Do Your Shopping And Enjoy Yourself, Is That Quite Nice To Be Able To Do That? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:20 | |
19 | ‘A Red Letter Day’ Features A Russian Choir, Why Couldn’t You Find That Anywhere Else? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:34 | |
20 | Is That Why You Travel All Over The World To Record? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:21 | |
21 | ‘Up Against It’ Politics, Are You Saying Protest Isn’t Worth It? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:28 | |
22 | ‘To Step Aside’ Has The Line ‘If I Decide To Step Aside I Will Try And Forget All The Tears I’ve Cried’ Which Shows The Lyrical Talents You’ve Displayed From The Beginning. Where Do The Ideas Come From? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:40 | |
23 | What Do You Think It Is That Keeps You Together? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:12 | |
24 | There’s A Quote From You Neil ‘We May Have Had The Occasional Scam, But Never Had Any Grand Plans!’. Does That Still Fit In? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:14 |
