Album Tracks
| No | Title | Artist | Composer | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | So, Here We Are Again, For The PSBs' Tenth Studio Album. It's Called 'Yes'. Why? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:42 | |
| 2 | So The Album Was Produced With The (Many) Hands Of Production House Xenomania On The Steering Wheel. Brian Higgins, Miranda Cooper And Their Staff Are A Bit More Associated With Pure Pop Outfits Like Girls Aloud And Sugababes. So Why Plump For Them? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:44 | |
| 3 | And Did Their Style Of Working Suit You? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:34 | |
| 4 | So, Another Big Year For The Pets. New CD Of Course, But In February, The Outstanding Achievement Award At The Brits. Wow! | Pet Shop Boys | 1:18 | |
| 5 | So, There Are A Number Of Tracks With That Fave Pet Shop Boys 127/129 Euro Beat On. But There Are Some Odder Tracks As Well. How Do You Decide Which Tracks Go Where On The Album? And Come To That, Who Decides? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:54 | |
| 6 | Let's Talk About The Album, Then. 'Love Etc.' Is The First Single - How Did That Come About? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:08 | |
| 7 | 'Love Etc.' Has This Rather Roughhouse Chant On It - "Don't Have To Be" - Almost An Echo Of Chumbawamba's 'I Get Knocked Down'. Slightly Out Of The Way For The Pets, Neil? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:00 | |
| 8 | Track Number Two, 'All Over The World', Has A Line From The Tchaikovsky 'Nutcracker' Ballet Music, Possibly Better Known As 'Nut Rocker', By B Bumble And The Stingers. Can't Help Asking, Why, Chris? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:57 | |
| 9 | Track Three, Chris. 'Beautiful People'. | Pet Shop Boys | 1:52 | |
| 10 | And This Track, Along With A Few Others, Features The Manchester Guitar Hero, Johnny Marr... | Pet Shop Boys | 0:22 | |
| 11 | 'Did You See Me Coming?' The Next Track, Has (Like All The Songs On The Album) Some Great Tennant Lyrics. One Of The Best Is... Neil, You Tell Us. | Pet Shop Boys | 2:31 | |
| 12 | Next Up Is 'Vulnerable'. Is This About You, Neil, Or Is This You 'Being' Another Character? | Pet Shop Boys | 0:32 | |
| 13 | Next Track Is 'More Than A Dream'. How Did This One Come Together? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:31 | |
| 14 | Chris, 'Building A Wall' Is Next, Also Featuring (Ex Smiths, Electronic, Currently Modest Mouse) Guitar Hero Johnny Marr. Now, You Presumably Only Get Him For A Day Or Two. How Do You Decide Which Tracks You Want Him To Play On? | Pet Shop Boys | 3:07 | |
| 15 | Neil, 'King Of Rome', The Eighth Track, Is Absolutely Beautiful. Sad And Romantic. | Pet Shop Boys | 2:47 | |
| 16 | 'Pandemonium' Is The Next Track, A Song About The Attraction Of Danger. There's An Interesting Story About How It Was Written. Neil? | Pet Shop Boys | 1:05 | |
| 17 | The 'Way It Used To Be' Is The Tenth Track. Such A Neil Tennant Title! | Pet Shop Boys | 2:14 | |
| 18 | And At The End Of The Album We Get 'Legacy', A Song It's Actually Quite Difficult To Say 'I Understand That' About. Any Clues, Neil? | Pet Shop Boys | 2:08 |
