I have been to London quite a few times. And always when I am at Kings Cross I have this wonderful song in my ears. The PSB are with me now nearly my whole life. And I am 50 now...❤❤

The best PSB song to date (2017) just in case! This song makes me so emotional! It reminds me of my childhood, when I could walk, run, play football and everything was great, superb, it was a altogether nicer place. The computer was a BBC micro at school and a mobile was in a big red box with a illuminated Telephone sign! I miss those days and did not realise just how precious the times were, if only I could have that time again, but there are so many that would agree!

I'm on the backbone of all comment left. Its 2023 and yeah its difficult for me to argue. Robbie Williams once was a part of PSB documentary where the discussion was The Behaviour Album. I can't quote him but he expressed feeling that The Pet Shops Boys were in the vintage wine stage of music making and he's right to an extent. Songs like To Face The Truth and October Symphony are undeniable masterpieces in their own right but Kings Cross taps into a gorgeous haunting sorrow and yeah I'll jump on the Train with you guys on this one. I found guys earlier tonight a 1984 version of One More Chance try to even get what I said there🤦‍♂Disco came out in 1986 and the release of Actually was 1987 and Please also came out in 1986 that was technically their first album, but 2 full years before please and disco low and behold One More Chance off the 87 album was made in 1984. And here my dear fellas is the link .. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/obigqM6T0tHMias.html

Always played this song as the last track driving back from Germany to see my girlfriend now wife of 31years.....it just does it for me everytime ..brilliant

Another classic from the Pet Shop Boys. Should have been a single imo. It's from their 'Actually' album, which is from 1987 .....not 1989. Writing this in 2024.......and you realise just how good pop music from the 1980's was, and still is. No other decade beats the 80's for great pop. This song really sticks in the mind. What a melody.

A hauntingly magnificent song, one of the Pet Shop Boys best. Not a lot of people realised that the autumn this song was ro be released, there was a horrific fire at Kings Cross Station that November. 31 people died and hundreds were injured terribly. If you've ever seen the original video, it featured a burning man on his way to Kings Cross. Out of respect for the families, Neil and Chris did not release the video until many, many years later. They've always been good lads, doing the decent thing.

@@tonyjones1560 it is a beautiful song. One of my favourite PSB songs. You should read up on the 1987 King's Cross fire. It is absolutely horrific! One of the many reasons I'm glad that smoking is banned in public places.(yes, the fire was started by a smoker.)

Derek Jarman’s beautiful film contains multiple clues as to the meaning of this song - the canal, the gas tanks, the bullring in KX tube station, the station forecourt…

Fantastic to see this again - Saw it on the the '89 tour they did - the whole crowd simultaneously cheered at 2:04 when Chris walks through Kings Cross... RIP Derek Jarman.

Two things that spring to mind if anyone is so fussed… At 0:34…the Class 317 Electric Train that appears was still in revenue earning service on the MainLine in Summer 2022 just before being retired from frontline service. Unit 317343…one of the last to go! Secondly…the background music has a Sonic Game vibe about it…it reminds me somewhat of Sonic 3’s Ice Cap Zone. Oh…and I cannot remember, someone told me Monday…or did they tell me Saturday?

God made a man perfect! Jesus! It made perfect athletes, Pele in football and Ayrton Senna in Formula-1! Did Neil and Chris meet and create the perfect band! The Pet Shop Boys! And they created the perfect song, by God! Hors Concours a song! She is KING'S CROSS!! Indeed, King's Cross is not just a song, he is a true anthem! A hymn of GOD!!

What this song is about? it is not about Kings Cross fire. I think it's a social commentary on low life or economical depression. Chris Lowe in the video symbolizing a "lost man" - an unemployed or tramp, coming to London in hope for better life

@vinvass2674 Жыл бұрын

The fire happened a significant time after the album was released, there is no connection Young people coming from poverty and unemployment in the North East headed to London Kings Cross is the station they arrived at The tramps, homeless, hanging round begging were a reminder that you might not make it and could end up like then, worse than you had it The Streets Paved With Gold myth about London goes back to Dick Whittigton This song is a stark welcome to reality to those arriving

I never knew until tonight (after watching the 'Pandemonium' live DVD) that "King's Cross" had a video directed by Derek Jarman. Why was this never released? (It wasn't to my knowledge, anyway.) Brilliant filmmaking. Actually, I just did some research and discovered it was released on the 'Projections' tape. Wish that would come out on DVD (plus It Couldn't Happen Here, Closer to Heaven, Battleship Potemkin with their score, and other PSB videography).

PSB, as with any band, wrote their first album while unsigned, broke, possibly unemployed of working crap jobs for crap money Once they have the first album out, some singles, a tour, and the money comes in, they are established stars The second album will reflect this Look at the difference between the songs on Please and Actually, what they are about West End Girls Opportunities Suburbia This applies to any band Oasis Definately Maybe compare to What's The Story Bon Jovi First album to 7800 Adam Ant Dirk Wears White Sox to Kings
