Electro pop duo Pet Shop Boys returned with a new album “Super” last month. Now they have shared the video for the second single “Twenty something”.
Directed by Gavin Filipiak, the five-minute video tells the story of Sherman, a convict who tries to make an honest go when released into the streets of San Diego, but is drawn back into the underworld that put him behind bars in the first place.
The duo has also announced a bunch of North American and European tour dates for this fall.

Lyrics:
Twenty-something
good as new
Expectations
got a few
Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
Join the queue
Twenty-something
in the mix
Always that
ironic twist
Got a start-up
good to go
when the money
starts to flow
Oh, Twenty-something
up to tricks
That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way
Twenty-something
Quite a catch
Think you’ll ever
meet your match?
You’ve always been somewhat choosy
but you’ll love her for the length
of a good movie
Oh, Twenty-something
Call her back
That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Take your smart phone
and make your way home
on your own
Twenty-something
Hard to beat
Check your reflection
walking down the street
Thirty’s calling
round the bend
Will your ideas
ever trend?
Oh, Twenty-something
feel the heat
Find an issue
get ahead
Got it sorted
like you said
You’re twenty-something
and so to bed
That’s how you are
or have to be
in a decadent city
at a time of greed
You can make believe
that it’s all you need
Sometimes it’s hard
day to day
to pay your way
