One of the best songs ever,And Claudia Bruckens voice is from Heaven.

It‘s not only her voice, its her style, her grace and behaviour. The whole project Act was totally misunderstood at its time. It was incredible complex arranged and produced music in outstanding quality. Thomas and Claudia where two Personalities in its business. All in opposit to the Zeitgeist.

Satirizing the 1980s as early as 1987. And its still relevent today.

The Pet Shops Boys were already satirising the 80s in 1985 with Lots Of Money.

The press were really rude about ACT at the time, which is ironic because they were being ironic about the very core of pop culture journalism. The notion that the future upper classes would, in the future be movie and pop-stars. Apart from they couldn't predict the Internet and all its ramifications, they were really a before their times. Thomas and Claudia were integral to my formative years and I'm really loving it!. My IQ is tbes5s28 Still loving this and I laugh with them to this because the jokes on you, and it never really always was.

First time I've listened to this song since 1987....and it's now 2023. Forgotten how good it was- even though it's incredibly 80's!! Love how it's sending up the pretentiousness of the Yuppie culture that was so prevalent at the time. Act are like a less premium version of the Eurythmics.

Snobbery And Decay Lyrics Champagne dreams, caviar wishes And watch them grow from rags to riches Money to burn, money to give away Lifestyles of the rich and famous And look and them who can blame us Lessons in the subject of decay Come tomorrow, the dream might blow away Guilt and sorrow, the price you have to pay Snobbery and decay Snobbery and decay You’ve got yours, I’ve got mine Obsession, just like Calvin Klein Fantasy, ecstasy, designer dream, obscenity Snobbery and decay Snobbery and decay Nothing to do, nothing to pay Nothing but snobbery and decay Land of the free How can you tell? The bigger they come the harder they sell Here’s to you Here’s to me A future aristocracy Property, poverty An unstable economy And decay And decay Snobbery and decay Snobbery and decay Come tomorrow, the dream might blow away Guilt and sorrow, the price you have to pay Snobbery and decay Snobbery and decay Champagne and caviar Snobbery and decay I am the repertoire Snobbery and decay
