Wow I really appreciate that you posted this here. Going through some of their other material - a lot of what they've done belongs here. 100% new to me artists - thank you!

Hyperreality,

Thanks.

Yeah. I chose this song, but the album this song comes from arguably has better songs on it. Propaganda, Wolves, We Want Freedom, Hip Hop...

Classic album.

Hyperreality, in Pet Shop Boys - After the Event (2009)

Lyrics:

Typical day
Cars being towed away
Junk mail through the door
Joins the post on the floor
Drilling
Always someone drilling
Somewhere in the city

Authorised by committee
Permission is bestowed
According to postal code
Terms and conditions may vary
It's nothing out of the ordinary

Sometimes someone gets upset
Doesn't hear the laughter
Takes it as a threat
But it's different after
After the event
Looks like someone's smiling
Happy to be here
Blue skies heaven-sent

There's a kind of glow
Illuminates the flow
Over to the east

Of traffic in the streets
Not to be outdone
The school run has begun
Mothers all arrive
Each in a four-wheel drive

Sometimes someone gets upset
Doesn't hear the laughter
Takes it as a threat
But it's different after
After the event
Looks like someone's smiling
Happy to be here
Blue skies heaven-sent

Evening comes as a surprise
Suddenly someone dies
Everyone's over-reacting
With clichés and bad acting

Misty in the rain
Flowers in their cellophane
Policemen intervening
Drama without meaning
It's perfectly routine
A statement from the Queen
Obituaries appear
You can leave your tributes here

Sometimes someone gets upset
Doesn't hear the laughter
Takes it as a threat
But it's different after
After the event
Looks like someone's smiling
Happy to be here
Blue skies heaven-sent

Well did you hear, there's a natural order
Those most deserving will end up with the most
That the cream cannot help but always rise up to the top
Well I say, "Shit floats"

If you thought things had changed
Friend, you better think again
Bluntly put, in the fewest of words
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

Now the working classes are obsolete
They are surplus to society's needs
So let 'em all kill each other
And get it made overseas

That's the word, don't you know
From the guys that's running the show
Let's be perfectly clear boys and girls
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

Ah yeah
Oh yeah

Well feed your children on crayfish and lobster tails
Find a school near the top of the league
In theory I respect your right to exist
I will kill ya if ya' move in next to me

Ah, it stinks, it sucks, it's anthropologically unjust
Oh, but the takings are up by a third, oh so
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world

(Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world)

The free market is perfectly natural
Do you think that I'm some kind of dummy?
It's the ideal way to order the world
"Fuck the morals, does it make any money?"

And if you don't like it, then leave
Or use your right to protest on the street
Yeah use your right, but don't imagine that it's heard
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
Cunts are still running the world
