Pet Shop Boys - Kings Cross
Discussion
Bit of a weird one, this.
You may, or may not be familiar with the track from the album 'Actually'.
I think it's a great tune, as are most of the tracks from this album. What's really strange is the fact that this song was first aired (via the album) 2 months before the Kings Cross disaster in November 1987 which claimed 31 lives in a fire on the underground.
I know it's coincidence but I find this particularly spooky..
Especially at 2min 30 seconds

A video was made for Kings Cross as it was intended to be released as a single rather than just be an album track
After the fire, that plan was changed.
I'm sure that I read about it at the time in the music press.... or I have just made it up!
For me, "Actually" is possibly PSB's best album.
