PET SHOP BOYS with DUSTY SPRINGFIELD: "WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?" - 1987

 

Pet Shop Boys es un dúo de pop electrónico británico, conformado por el cantante y compositor Neil Tennant y el teclista y compositor Chris Lowe, formado en Londres, en 1981.​ Tuvo su máximo esplendor durante mediados de los años 80s y hasta bien entrados los años 90s.

 

 
Hasta la fecha el grupo ha vendido más de 100 millones de discos en todo el mundo.​ Desde 1984 (año en que debutaron) 40 de sus sencillos han alcanzado el Top 20 y 22 en Top 10 en Reino Unido, además de cuatro número uno: "West End Girls",​ "It's a Sin", "Always on My Mind"​ y "Heart".​ Sus éxitos los llevaron a liderar lo que se conoció como la segunda invasión británica.

​Salvo contadas excepciones en los años 80, a partir de finales de los 90 el duo compone y colabora frecuentemente con otros artistas tanto en la producción, composición y remezcla de temas. Son considerados como pioneros del pop electrónico.​

 

"WHAT HAVE I DONE TO DESERVE THIS?"


"What Have I Done to Deserve This?" (Qué he hecho para merecer esto?), es una canción del dúo inglés de synth-pop Pet Shop Boys y la cantante de soul Dusty Springfield, extraída del segundo álbum de estudio del dúo, "Actually" (1987).

 



 

La canción fue lanzada como el segundo sencillo del álbum el 10 de agosto de 1987.

 

 
 

Un éxito comercial tanto en el Reino Unido como en los Estados Unidos, la canción ayudó a revivir la carrera de Springfield y provocó un resurgimiento del interés por su música.

Después del sencillo, los Pet Shop Boys escribieron y produjeron los sencillos "Nothing Has Been Proved" e "In Private" para Springfield, ambos incluidos en su álbum "Reputation" (1990).


 

LETRA

You always wanted a lover
I only wanted a job
I've always worked for a living
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I come here looking for money
Got to have it
And end up leaving with love, oh, oh
Now you've left me with nothing
Can't take it
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

I bought you drinks, I brought you flowers
I read you books and talked for hours
Every day, so many drinks
Such pretty flowers, so tell me
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I

Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)

You always wanted me to be something I wasn't
You always wanted too much, oh, oh
Now I can do what I want to, forever
How am I gonna get through?
How am I gonna get through?

At night, the people come and go
They talk too fast, and walk too slow
Chasing time from hour to hour
I pour the drinks and crush the flowers
What have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?
What have I, what have I, what have I

Since you went away I've been hanging around
I've been wondering why I'm feeling down
You went away, it should make me feel better
But I don't know, oh
How I'm gonna get through, baby? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through, baby? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through? Tell me (what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through, baby? (What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
How I'm gonna get through, ahh (what have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)

Gonna get through
Gonna get through

I'm gonna get through, right?

We don't have to fall apart (what have I, what have I)
We don't have to fight (what have I done to deserve this?)
We don't need to go to hell and back (what have I, what have I)
Every night (what have I done to deserve this?)
You never ever love me (what have I, what have I)
Can you think of me?
Ohh-oh (what have I, what have I)
Babe (what have I done to deserve this?)

We don't have to fall apart (what have I, what have I)
We don't have to fight (what have I done to deserve this?)
We don't need to go to hell and back(what have I, what have I)
Every night (what have I done to deserve this?)

Ooh baby
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?)
Ow, how am I gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?) Baby yeah
How I'm gonna get through?
(What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this?) Ooh-ooh

How I'm gonna get through?
