[Spoken Intro: Fred Applegate]
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
Ladies and gentlemen
Welcome to The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
I lived a quiet life
A stranger to champagne
I never dared to venture out
To cities of the plain
I heard about their way of life
Took it with a pinch of salt
The freedom and the time to play
[Pre-Chorus : Neil Tennant]
A life so easy, it intrigued me
When you called to say
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
"Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime production"
[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
I think it's true to say
My life was changed that night
In the liberated atmosphere
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
All around me, someone found me
Whispered in my ear
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
"Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
The Sodom and Gomorrah Show
Is a once-in-a-lifetime production"
[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
Then we went on after-hours
There was a place down below
It was there I realized
The meaning of the show
[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
You've got to love to learn to live
Where angels fear to tread
I did it and I don't regret the day
[Pre-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Even now I think of how
You turned to me to say
[Chorus: Backing Vocalists, Neil Tennant]
"Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction
Sodom and Gomorrah
Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction
Are you gonna go?
Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction
Sodom and Gomorrah
Sun, sex, sin, death and destruction
[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
Are you gonna go
To the Sodom and Gomorrah Show?
It's got everything you need for your complete
Entertainment and instruction
Sun, sex, sin, divine intervention
Death and destruction
