Official music video by 'Pet Shop Boys' per­form­ing 'Love Etc.'. Taken from the album 'Yes'.

Lyrics:

Boy, it's tough
get­ting on in the world
when the sun doesn't shine
and a boy needs a girl
It's about get­ting out of a rut
you need luck
but you're stuck
and you don't know how

Don't have to be
a big bucks Hollywood star
Don't have to drive
a super car to get far
Don't have to live
a life of power and wealth
Don't have to be
beau­ti­ful but it helps
Don't have to buy
a house in Beverly Hills
Don't have to have
your daddy pay­ing the bills
Don't have to live
a life of power and wealth
Don't have to be
beau­ti­ful but it helps

You need more than a big blank cheque to be a lov­er or
a Gulfstream jet to fly you door to door
some­where chic on anoth­er shore
You need more, you need more, you need more
You need more, you need more, you need more, you need love

Too much of anything
is nev­er enough
Too much of everything
is nev­er enough

Boy, it's tough
get­ting on in the world
when the sun doesn't shine
and a boy needs a girl
It's about get­ting out of a rut
you need luck
Boy, you're stuck
and you don't know how

Don't have to be
a big bucks Hollywood star
Don't have to drive
a super car to get far
Don't have to wear
a smile much colder than ice
Don't have to be
beau­ti­ful but it's nice

You need more than
the Gerhard Richter hanging on your wall
a chauf­feur-driv­en lim­ousine on call
to drive your wife and lov­er to a white tie ball
You need more, you need more, you need more
You need more, you need love

I believe
that we can achieve
the love that we need
I believe
call me naive
that love is for free

Don't have to be
a big bucks Hollywood star
Don't have to drive
a super car to get far
Don't have to live
a life of power and wealth
Don't have to be
beau­ti­ful but it helps
beau­ti­ful but it helps
beau­ti­ful but it helps
