ARTIST: Pet Shop Boys SONG:   Burning the Heather CAPO:   3rd fret D7/F#  2-x-0-2-1(2) Gmaj7  3-x-4-4-3-x [Intro]                     [Verse 1] You’ve got me all wrong I’m not that guy I’m just the singer of the song in my mind’s eye If I thought what you think I wouldn’t even be here I’ve just dropped in for a drink before I disappear [Verse 2] You’ve got me all wrong There’s no one I’m missing I’m quite happy to be alone there are no lips I’m kissing The truth must be the truth Unvarnished in its telling Otherwise it’s just hype you hope People won’t notice you’re peddling [Chorus] Autumn is here and they’re burning the heather Sheepdogs are running Hell for leather Seasons are changing Time’s moving along Give me a drink and I’ll be gone [Bridge] Where did I come from? Where do I go? Time is so heartless You don’t want to know [Verse 3] I set out in the dark Waking from a nightmare Hoping I could find The middle of nowhere I’m a stranger in this town but that’s as far as it goes And where I am bound no one knows [Chorus] Autumn is here and they’re burning the heather Sheepdogs are running Hell for leather Seasons are changing Time’s moving along Give me a drink and I’ll be gone [Verse 4] You’ve got me all wrong That’s what I’m sensing I’m not one of those bread-heads Always pounds shillings and pence-ing There’s a few things I need But I’ve money for paying And if you’ve enough room       I’ll consider staying

À propos de la chanson

La chanson évoque une sorte de désillusion et le besoin de s'échapper, où le narrateur se défend d'être mal compris par autrui. Il exprime sa satisfaction à être seul, sans attaches, tout en s’interrogeant sur ses origines et sa destination. Les changements de saison symbolisent le passage du temps et une forme d’indifférence face à la pression sociale. Le contexte semble tourné vers une introspection personnelle, où le protagoniste se sent étranger dans un monde qui ne lui correspond pas vraiment. Son dialogue intérieur évoque des souvenirs et des interrogations sur un futur incertain, mêlant mélancolie et une quête de liberté.
