When I look back upon my life
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin
It's always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin, it's a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin
Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, 'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand
So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything, I long to do
No matter when or where or who

Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been

It's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin
It's a, it's a, it's a
It's a sin

PLEASE add more ghost. they're so incredible. i saw them at white river in 2023 from the lawn and instantly became a fan. i just saw them again 2/17 at climate pleadge from the PIT (!!!!!!) and it was the most amazing experience i've ever had. i've been to a lot of concerts and nothing could ever compare to seeing ghost up close. you've gotta play more of their stuff, it's amazing!!

Sums it up. Neil Tennant once commented this song could have been a heavy metal number. Now it is!
11 out of 10! The original was one of my all time favourites and this one is great too without moving too far from the original!

Tobias Forge is a genius, have a listen to Mary on a Cross in Memphis or Rats and Square Hammer Live at the Forum. Their live takes exceed the original tracks by a mile, they are incredible musicians. If your biggest fan is James Hatfield you know you've got something going.

I've heard Ghost songs that I like, but this sounded like they were just phoning it in, the lyrics were superficial, and "It's a Sin" is a bit on the nose for a band with a goth pope aesthetic. Meh.

Very 80's but not in the good way.

Sounds super compressed and strips the LGBTQ+ pleading or really any emotions out of this. Plus Pet Shop Boys didn't need auto tune.

The fact that Radio Paradise plays GHOST is proof that this is the ONLY station worth listening to!
GHOST AT WORK YAYYYY thank you rp <3

Really jammin on this new to these ears track! Haven't heard of this band....sadly, this tracks lyrics hit real close to home. Good jam though!
Please Bill and Rebecca, take control and stop these unnecessary covers!!

Same here, I was convinced this was him. Anyway, "me like it a long time" 😂
I had to look up. He sounds so like Tennant that I thought that, like so many 80's bands at the moment, the Petshop boys had released a bunch of re-mixes.
Anway, pleasantly surprised, though it's such a great song it would be hard to mess it up.

I'm not a big fan of covers but I think this stays true to the Pet Shop Boys spirit.
"You say you wanna start something new
And it's breakin' my heart you're leavin'"
Once you hear the melody of "It's a Wild World" in there, you can't stop hearing it.

Maybe not a 2 but those Pet Shop Boys are a 10 so hard to compare

Das Cover ist nicht immer besser als das Original - das braucht die Welt nicht.
