My October Symphony (2018 Remaster) - Pet Shop Boys

So much confusion

When autumn comes around

What to do about October

How to smile behind a frown

It's hard to settle down

It's so bemusing

Will they cancel the parade

We marched each October

Now they say we were never even saved

We must be very brave

Shall I rewrite or revise

My October symphony

Or as an indication

Change the dedication

From revolution to revelation

So we're all drinking

As leaves fall to the ground

Because we've been thinking

How October's let us down

Then and now

Shall we remember

December instead

Or worry about February

Mourn our war-torn dead

Never seeing red

Shall I rewrite or revise

My October symphony

Or as an indication

Change the dedication

From revolution to revelation
