"King's Cross" video by Pet Shop Boys, from "Projections."

[zigzag909]

They've really fucked up Kings Cross since this vid was made.

mój prezent urodzinowy :)

[ACURAOC]

It is real.

Only PSB could do this in 80's.

[PSB81Fan]

Listening this song played by them @ O2 in London in June 2009 is been an incredible emotion, one of their best, que viva PSB!

[TheGUCCICHRIS]

One of their best! Love the 80's!

[anizio19]

Thanks for all the compliments that you post here referring to the song King's Cross, the Pet Shop Boys. Besides Chris and Neil are amazing, this song is for me HOURS CONCOURS! It's like an anthem for me! I humbly thank on behalf of the Pet Shop Boys (if I may have got this right), because King's Cross is a very special song for me and maybe for all of us! Thanks

[anizio19]

Obrigado por todos os elogios que vocês postam aqui se referindo a canção King´s Cross, dos Pet Shop Boys. Além de Cris e Neil serem extraordinários, esta canção é para mim HOURS CONCORS!!! É como se fosse o meu hino!! Agradeço humildemente em nome dos Pet Shop Boys (se é que tenho esse direito), pois King´s Cross é uma canção super especial pra mim e talvez para todos nós!!!

[NalaStash]

It meant so much when this song came out. I was young. Never in love but wanted to. Never thought it would happen. It did. It lived. It died. And now this song has a different meaning, yet it's just the same. In everything, there are no guarantees. In everything...

[jsbx5]

@NalaStash

I believe this is the most profound comment I've ever seen...

[mrconveen]

Yes, this song is very special to me .... I did some naughty things in my life, and when this was produced, I was soliciting around the Kings Cross area .... great video

[noahsarkful]

@mrconveen just read your comments . love them !!!!! ny biggset wish is to be there doing what you did.

[cyberion8]

If all "pop" music sounds like this then I'll be damn proud to tell the world that I love pop music.....

[zigzag909]

If you've been to Kings X lately you will know the bastards have ruined it.

[lunarossaita]

I love very much this melody!

One of my all time favorites. Amazing track by PSB !!

[YumeDelusion]

awesome, deeply melancholic, great video also. Really fits the music.

[subfight]

that's a real good song!!

[Parthoris]

It`s my own personal favourite song from an outstanding album. The Pet Shop Boys are still fantastic in my opinion. 10 stars from 5.

[zigzag909]

Kings Cross is the greatest place on earth. No contest.

[CelticPowerRanger]

@zigzag909 If you like trainspotting or seeking out places made famous by Harry Potter then yes.

[Parthoris]

One of the best songs i know.

[DeloreanAMG]

[anizio19]

Oque é música? Música é tudo oque você já ouviu!! King´s Cross? King´s Cross não é música, é uma obra de arte...é um verdadeiro Hino!!!! Parabéns Cris e Neil. Outra banda como os Pet Shop Boys, só depois que Jesus voltar!!!!

What's music? Music is what you've heard everything! King's Cross? King's Cross is not music, is a work of art ... is a true anthem!! Congratulations Chris and Neil. Another band equal to the Pet Shop Boys, only after Jesus returns!!

[theseatonslicer]

What an awesome song n video!!

[Twilight1964]

[cavia2008]

Remembering 1987 ..........................

[alejandroPSB]

putos ,pitchs

[Vicariously100]

I love this song!

[lezlie1974]

AWESOME!!! This song is one of the bests, Chris and Neil made something marvelous with this song. When i listening, i think those peoples, who dying that horrible day...

[pauljweston1]

[someblokecalledchris]

sheer class...no more said...thanks for the post ......ps great sound thank you .southampton.

[Roxy1971]

Thank You , this is one of my favourite songs and videos of them xxx

[jasteern]

HEAVENLY SONG....

[ItsGrimUpNorth7]

I remember buying this VHS Vid called Projections in the hope that you would see the concert ! This was after i bought highlights Doh !!! i had a paper round then and lots of spare cash. changed days !!

[1985OMD]

Such a beautiful song. The new generations should listen to this kind of music so that they can realise what real music is. Nowadays music leaves a lot to be desired.

[jasteern]

i'm completely agree with you 1985OMD

[baboon2525]

@1985OMD please stop this tired, boring shit, and go and listen to the xx or something. great music is still being made, and it's your issue if you can't recognise it.

An absolutely incredible song from one of the greatest bands.

[1985OMD]

@baboon2525 I don't give a fucking shit about you think and don't you fucking tell me what kind of music I've got to listen to...if you don't like my comment just sue me motherfucker

[baboon2525]

@1985OMD get a little perspective sweetheart! All I'm saying is that, in 1987, there would have been people like you saying "Oh, this new Pet Shop Boys electro stuff is shit, we should all be listening to music from 1973". It's tired, reactionary and boring.

[baboon2525]

@1985OMD oh,. and you clealry do care about what i think otherwise you wopuldn't bother replying! sigh.

[getsensus]

@1985OMD agree with you, absolutely, because I remember when one was saying that Pet Shop was bullsh, let's listen to T-Rex.. Now we have great stuff too, but one thing that '80ies I think were peak of pop music, a lot of good melodies, styles were being created and that incredible aura and mood, it is unforgettable, unique.. as todays music of course

[Snarfifications]

@1985OMD Indeed !!

[Torchwood007]

Even after all these years this song still sends shivers down my spine...

[Kosarman]

Para mi, sin lugar a dudas, la mejor canción que han podido hacer hasta la fecha. Dudo en lo que les quede de carrera puedan hacer algo superior a King's Cross. Simplemente lo mas perfecto que ha ido a parar en mis orejas.

[billyh88uk]

Even though I wasn't alive when this song came out, it makes me imagine I'm there. That's power.

[xpinkxlipglossx1]

So I went looking out today for the one who got away murder walking round the block ending up in king's cross good luck bad luck waiting in a line it takes more then matter of time. Someone told me monday someone told me saturday wait until tomrrow and there's still no way. read it in a book or write it in a letter wake up in the morning and there's still no guarantee. love the lyrics and the song <3

[rusalkaerin]

I Love you Neil & Chris !!!

[xpinkxlipglossx1]

I will always love this song and the pet shop boys forever

[anizio19]

Nada é mais forte do que KIng´s Cross. Essa canção é o topo do que pode existir. King´s Cross 100% perfeita;.Pet Shop Boys 200% perfeitos! Tennant e Lowe estão para a música, como Jesus está para nós humanos; perfeitos!

There is nothing stronger and will not exist, that the Kin g's Cross,this song is the top of which can exist in all directions,melody, timbres, etc;King's Cross 100% perfect ;PSB 200% perfect! Tennant and Lowe are to the music, as Jesus is for us humans.

[anizio19]

Nãso existe e nem existirá nada mais forte do q

[BuddahUK]

reminds me how wonderfully depopulated and basic london used to be

[kingofkeyboards]

i was only born in the nineties but the 70's and 80's looked to be a great time to live. the music, the people, the setting... wonderful and this shows it. I only listen to 70's and 80's music because like this, it moves me. Things have changed a lot over time.

[BuddahUK]

It was kind of miserable too, but upon reflection I kind of loved London in the 80s. It's way too shrill and packed now. Every generation is different I guess, you'll probably get nostalgic for it as it is now in 20 years!

[holandes1970]

absolutly wonderful.....

[madaboutPSB]

LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! Song & vid!

[LuciusMalusLupus]

Sorry, this isn't really about your video, but the Roman Numerals in the description actually say 1939. Just to let you know.

[LuciusMalusLupus]

It should probably be MCMLXXXIX

[jimidnite]

Youre right. Thanks! Corrected.

[theseatonslicer]

I was in the Army in the 80's and we used to travel a lot by train, I can still smell that station and those trains! Never forget the squealing noise they made as they pulled in.

[wolfglobal]

I love all of their songs and its difficult to choose any favs, but this is definitely one of them. The music, lyrics, Neil's singing its wonderful :)

[noirsociety]

classic PSB

[TOTALLYPETHEAD]

IMMENSE.PSB FOREVER.

[andyvancouver2000]

One of the most amazing songs of all time. It has such a magical flow to it that takes me to another world.

[X24RIDER]

God i just love this song, one of my all time favourites by the PSB. And this video by Derek Jarman makes it even more special !!!

[annonesuperstar]

tengo que volver a ese lugar y escuchar una y una vez esta cancion

[Ohrni74]

On of the best Songs!

[meterreadergoldersgr]

Ahhh - The Intercity 125 - the age of the train.. Is it me but didnt things work so much better then - I mean we have so many cases of an overuse of technology and then half the time shit doesnt work. Remember roughing it at Kings X once or twice in the late 80s/early nineties. The 80s Iam stuck in,my cassette walkman,my VHS recorder,my film SLR, my taste in 80s music and film..

[mkalkofe]

einer ihrer emotionalsten songs ,den ich seit vielen jahren immer wieder gerne höre .

[amouse73]

I remember catching the Intercity 125 from Sheffield to London in the very late 80's listening to this on cassette on my sony walkman. The video captures the mood of the track perfectly. Chris Lowe in the video, don't you just wanna hug him?

[jesusgrana2]

un canción para abrazar y acariciar a tu amor... se me caen las lágrimas

[raulsoleimanio]

Beautiful song...with such a tragic tone of loneliness. I live in Seattle but can completely relate to this song. When I go downtown and wait for the bus to go to the university, it feels just like this--especially in the evening and early morning.

Only last night I found myself lost

By the station called King's Cross

[nd1633]

nice music,gd lyrics,great song

[manhshopboy]

great

[prettyfairy22]

good song

[tomalmex]

this psb song is on actually at 1987 ! ! !

[imachristian100]

kool song

[juniorjgc]

this sonf was actually 1989

[imachristian100]

kings kross ONLY the MOST FAMOUSE TUBE STATION IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD>>>COMMENTS LOOK IT UP PLZ..thank you

[larsexwow]

I love this song!!!

[imachristian100]

takes me back along way 1993 i think alough the song is older

[yellowhammer200]

heartbreaking and sad,one of their very best songs,PSB do melancholy better than pretty much any pop/synth band out there,heck anyone really..this and Being Boring are proof of that for me.Love ya Neil and Chris :')

[prettyfairy22]

my thought of this song is like you're running away from home but i wont do it

[prettyfairy22]

that song is sad like your leaving and ur gone =[

[JKStiller]

Germans are often not so quick when it comes to the lyrics of a song. This one is the classic exception- from the first moment I heard this song I knew I wanted to understand it. Why? I think it´s magic. Later I moved to London for a year, and you know where I stranded first? Yes. It´s true.

[Benovip]

I once borrowed Actually from the library, and was listening to it in bed. At some time I had fallen asleep, and suddenly I had a dream where I was on some sort of trainstation, and everything was black/white, and just when I woke up, the last part of Kings Cross was being played. So that video really surprised me.

The song itself is brilliant. And one of the saddest tunes I've heard.

[Bigwheelneil]

I've always loved this song and PSB. Interesting to hear some of the previous comments about this song...the fire and reputation of King's Cross. Been to London as a tourist but never knew this song had an underlying theme. I always put King's Cross into my own reality as I do with many PSB songs.

[stefaduri]

I love this song though it brings back a lot of sad memories...crying....first love...

[deniseguzzardo]

@stefaduri me too

[andyknight1]

crying.

I love this song.

R.I.P. to all the victims of this tradegy

[drhr09]

since they are scum and deserved to die. I was a 17 yr old "rent boy" and it was only by the grace of god that I was elsewhere that night..

[drhr09]

Kinda prophetic.... the Kings cross fire happened shortly after. Maybe a rent boy was amongst the victims.... doesn't really matter does it ???

[NanookHawaii]

Yep, always LOVED Kings Cross song - a very dramatic number and definitely a fitting end to the Actually Album, the album of my youth actually! :-)

I LOVE this film, an extension from "Rent" music video. Always felt this affection towards the *star* of the film - OUR Chris Lowe - who comes across as this shy, rather timid out-of-towner arriving in London for the first time!

SUPER Cute! :-D

[territorygal]

What a brilliant video. 'Actually' is my favourite PSB album, and always thought this song made a spectacular ending. Love it. Thanks!

[JKStiller]

It takes more than a matter of time. As easy as true, and PetShopBoys were first to understand the tragedy. And not only that, no, they made a hymn out of it. That is real pop music.

[karziflora]

I'm in a PSB retro week, going back in time to the music of my youth & loving every bit. Needless to say how brilliant is their new album, YES.

Neil & Chris r genius!!!!!!

[MJJacko07]

this song makes me :'(

[yellowhammer200]

me too mate :(,i love PSB to bits,no one conveys sadness and melancholy as well as they do,such a sad and beautiful song.

[johnnycjnr]

classic.i read it was going to be a single until the kings cross tragedy.

[andyknight1]

I thought they wrote it as a tribute.

My mistake.

[roxieolive]

actuallys best kept secret..............

best song ever

[kdacx1]

The king Cross area of London is known for male prostitution. That is what the song is about.

[ruffa65]

It's in reference to prostitution in general. The Pet Shop Boys didn't look at the world through a gay prism.

[kdacx1]

Never said that they did mate

[lotreamon01]

Derek Jarman collaborated with Pet Shop boys on other songs as well. Love both Jarman and Pet Shop Boys a lot....

Beautiful....thanx jimidnite. :)

[scal1007]

i thought this song was written after what happened at kings cross? obviously not...

[kt11118]

Great of the greatest!!

[Zsuzsa1985]

PSB and DM were my first favorite bands. I think I was 12 when I became their fan. Tennant is intelligent and both of them make first class pop music and have artistic videos. Though I have a nick with '985 in it, which is my sisters year of birth,actually I'm a 33 years old woman. And very nostalgic about this and other songs,espacially the "Actually" album. This video is very simple but extremely touching.

[SidneyXda]

Im 29, and those days were just special, brings good memories *sigh*

Love DM too, they dont make music like this anymore :( too much rap and crap

[SidneyXda]

I was very young then but still knew that it was a great time for songs. 'Actually' album was one of the first albums i actually bought ..i still love all the songs in it.

[bluedress74]

We are both so the same. I'm 34 I was a hard core PSB fan since 12 to 16 years old. Then I fell in love with the mode and have been a fan ever since. PSB and DM are my all time favourites. This song and 'It couldn't happen here are very dear to me. 'Actually' and 'Please' are very special albums.

[jetrainss]

im 37 and i totally agree with you, actually and please are very special albums...bring back lots of memories

[eternalfootman13]

how could this not be on their greatest hits Pop Art? It's one of their best.

[puzzywoo]

It was never a single.

[taerons]

Beautyfull song...and video.

I miss this kind of music...

Thanks 4 posting !!

[caliconotts]

theres nothing romantic of being in a situation where you are left vunerable to abuse, but i suppose if you did end up being a rent boy, you could probably listen to this song and still have some pride left, its very well done and heart breaking to listen to. sry people.

[caliconotts]

I do like this song but cant say i aprove of "rent-boy-is'm" at any time. Back in the Eightys that was probably the only realistic thing that would happen to you if you ran away from home and went to kings cross station, you ended up selling your ass so you could eat and probaly dieing of aids or heroin overdose in the end. Guilty of hanging around, come on!, sry peeps dont want to ruin your romantic sadness of this song but truth isn't really that good, unless you are gay or a marxist cunt.

[malinchelee]

I adore this guys. Always perfect, i think no one group can sing sadness the way they do. I love the sensation to feel lost, landed on uncertain present and seen not future, guilty and never finding the way... walking and walking and travel and travel and "there still no guarantee. Love this song. Genius always and really gentlemen both. I miss Neil face in the video but his voice and their art speaks why they are icons.

Congratulations UK. Kisses Pet. Love you so much.

[prettyfairy22]

yeah i want neil be in the video

[ronniedonnie]

im from newcastle uk and the train to london which i went on on the 80's now odd times go to king's cross reminds me of the 80's and joanne ridley,lol me and my girl sitcom she mentions it , it's on here

[Arenadancer]

Legendary, i love this song...

[diddydeltic]

has anyone got the original vid for this ?

[jimidnite]

This is the only video that's ever been made for King's Cross.

[larsexwow]

Perfect song. It's so sad and beautiful as well. There's no doubt that PSB is one of the best bands ever.

[FranklyMisterShankly]

When I was a kid in 1987 I had no idea what this song was about. Then I went to university, took a course on Marxism and modern British history and realized just how vehemently anti-Thatcherite (...to feel the smack of firm government) the sentiment of this song (and the entire Actually album) really is. Neil Tennant said in an interview that he was referencing King's Cross train station, which in the 80's was just "littered with dirty smelly bodies," hence "dead and wounded on either side."

[jacko352]

i was (i belive)11 when i got this album on tape,and remember around 3 months after i got it the kings cross fire disaster happened..dead and wounded on either side-you know it's only a matter of time..no one saw that comming,i wonder how neil and chris felt after that?

[the1fozman]

It was going to be the next single after Always on my Mind until that happened so they didn't release it. Especially as it shows a man on fire in the video.

[Parthoris]

There is nothing left to say...a true classic .

[KarlNemetski]

Praise God!  I have been waiting to find this video for far too long. The 1980s have returned forever!!!!!

[malinchelee]

Me too, i have waited so long but it was worthy. Genius. Love it.

[joyrocky]

When i first heard this i was 18 and now i'm 25 but my love,awe and admiration for this song is increasing day by day. That's why we call this a masterpiece.80s was something out of this world and PSB(king cross)was like icing on the cake. Magical 80s please come back 'cause once you get a taste of awesomeness you can never settle for something less.

[warminator]

After all the years, it`s such a gorgeous tune. Can`t get it out of my head. Please play this on my grave.

[warminator]

After all the years, it`s such a gorgeous tune. Can`t get it out of my head. Please play this on my grave.

on the eastern holidays i opened my bag with old pet shop boys cds and i was surprised that the old songs of the 80s and of the early 90s still have such a good quality

the old songs remind me of the school years where i had been listenin
