About Go West

Go West is a song by the 1970s disco group Village People. The song eventually found greater success when it was covered in 1993 by the synthpop duo Pet Shop Boys. In 1992, when Pet Shop Boys were asked by Derek Jarman to perform at an AIDS charity event at The Haçienda nightclub in Manchester, Chris Lowe of the duo selected "Go West" as the song they would perform. Though singer Neil Tennant was unable to remember the lyrics during that performance, the two decided to record it as a single. .

Go West Lyrics

[00:34.57] Come on, come on, come on, come on
[00:36.47] (Together) we will go our way
[00:40.45] (Together) we will leave someday
[00:44.66] (Together) your hand in my hand
[00:48.61] (Together) we will make our plans
[00:52.28] (Together) we will fly so high
[00:56.43] (Together) tell all our friends goodbye
[01:00.30] (Together) we will start life new
[01:04.38] (Together) this is what we'll do
[01:07.95] (Go west) life is peaceful there
[01:12.13] (Go west) in the open air
[01:15.81] (Go west) where the skies are blue
[01:19.76] (Go west) this is what we're gonna do
[01:28.41] Go west, this is what we're gonna do
[01:34.77] Go west
[01:40.11] (Together) we will love the beach
[01:44.16] (Together) we will learn and teach
[01:47.89] (Together) change our pace of life
[01:52.09] (Together) we will work and strive
[01:55.97] (I love you) I know you love me
[01:59.90] (I want you) how could I disagree?
[02:03.84] (So that's why) I make no protest
[02:07.82] (When you say) you will do the rest
[02:11.51] (Go west) life is peaceful there
[02:15.48] (Go west) in the open air
[02:19.31] (Go west) baby, you and me
[02:23.35] (Go west) this is our destiny
[02:27.35] (Go west) sun in wintertime
[02:31.25] (Go west) we will do just fine
[02:35.26] (Go west) where the skies are blue
[02:39.29] Go west, this is what we're gonna do
[02:44.73] There where the air is free
[02:47.43] We'll be (we'll be) what we want to be
[02:52.63] Now if we make a stand
[02:55.58] We'll find (we'll find) our promised land
[02:59.73] (I know that) there are many ways
[03:03.71] (To live there) in the sun or shade
[03:07.62] (Together) we will find a place
[03:11.63] (To settle) where there's so much space
[03:15.59] (Without rush) and the pace back East
[03:19.57] (The hustling) rustling just to feed
[03:23.46] (I know I'm) ready to leave too
[03:27.49] (So that's what) we are gonna do
[03:31.63] What we're gonna do is go west
[03:34.77] Life is peaceful there
[03:36.97] (Go west) there in the open air
[03:40.86] (Go west) where the skies are blue
[03:44.84] (Go west) this is what we're gonna do
[03:50.86] (Life is peaceful there) go west
[03:54.84] (In the open air) go west
[03:58.70] (Baby, you and me) go west
[04:02.46] (This is our destiny) come on, come on, come on, come on
[04:05.37] (Go west) sun in wintertime
[04:08.91] (Go west) we will feel just fine
[04:12.99] (Go west) where the skies are blue
[04:16.65] Go west, this is what we're gonna do
[04:21.11] Come on, come on, come on, come on
[04:22.73] Go west
[04:32.92] Go west
[04:36.88] Go west
[04:40.89] Go west
[04:44.79] Go west
[04:48.79] Go west (do you feel it, do you feel it?)
[04:52.72] Go west (do you feel it, do you feel it?)
[04:56.63] Go west
[04:57.78]
