Everything I’ve ever done

Throughout a career spanning four decades and fourteen studio albums with Pet Shop Boys, Neil Tennant has consistently demonstrated himself as one of the most elegant and stylish contemporary lyricists. Arranged alphabetically, One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem provides an overview of his significant achievements as a chronicler of modern life: romance, break-ups, aspirations, changing attitudes, history, politics, and pain.

The landscape of Tennant’s lyrics is unmistakably British in character—restrained and focused on the mundane, occasionally satirical, yet also yearning for escape and theatrical release. Often unexpectedly revealing, this volume is complemented by personal commentary on each lyric and an introduction by the author that offers fascinating insights into the creative process and origins of the compositions.

Flamboyant, understated, celebratory, and elegiac, Neil Tennant's lyrics are a reflection of our times.
