Chris We can say that now.

Neil One of us saw a photograph in a newspaper of George Michael and a woman and said, 'bet she's not your girlfriend'. People always assumed that George Michael was gay but we didn't know for sure. When I actually wrote the lyric I made it about me. When I was at school I briefly went out with this girl, Krysia-who I still know and who used to run the Pet Shop Boys fan club many years ago - and she was very beautiful and she used to meet me outside the school gates occasionally, and people could not believe that she was meeting me. And that's what I made the words about. So all the verses are about me. The song is really about people being bitchy. It describes me as 'shy, dry and verging on ugly'; that's definitely howl thought of myself.

Chris We wrote the music in the studio in Notting Hill.

Neil Then we recorded it with Pete Schwier in the gap between our two Munich trips, at the same time, as 'It must be obvious'. It's Chris music, I can tell that. I think I considered it for the album, but Chris didn't. Chris I don't like having fun tracks on albums.
