"The Schlager Hit Parade" lyrics - PET SHOP BOYS

If you think you're going down
In hazel, black and brown
You need some happy music
When winter comes around

Gluhwein, Wurst and Sauerkraut
Sun and Sangria
We're speeding on a speedboat
We're heading off to Shangri-La

[Chorus:]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

Sexy, sexy, sexy
Healthy, happy girls and boys
Weddings are a bit like Christmas
Everyone rejoice

[Chorus:]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

Never trust your memories
Say a sentimental farewell
The leader of the Schlager band
He knows but he won't tell

The future is forever
Let's not dwell on the past
Gesundheit to Europa
Let's hope it's gonna last

[Chorus:]
Laughter and forgetting
Whatever was betrayed
What happened never happened
In the Schlager hit parade

[Chorus:]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade

[Chorus:]
The future is the present now
Music must be played
It's always Christmas or the sound of summer
In the Schlager hit parade
