Lyrics:
[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks
Let’s make lots of money
You’ve got the brawn, I’ve got the brains
Let’s make lots of…
[Verse 1]
I’ve had enough of scheming
And messing around with jerks
My car is parked outside
I’m afraid it doesn’t work
I’m looking for a partner
Someone who gets things fixed
Ask yourself this question:
Do you want to be rich?
[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks
Let’s make lots of money
You’ve got the brawn, I’ve got the brains
Let’s make lots of money
[Verse 2]
You can tell I’m educated
I studied at the Sorbonne
Doctored in mathematics
I could have been a don
I can program a computer
Choose the perfect time
If you’ve got the inclination
I have got the crime
[Bridge]
Oh, there’s a lot of opportunities
If you know when to take them
You know, there’s a lot of opportunities
If there aren’t you can make them
Make or break them
[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks
Let’s make lots of money
Let’s make lots of
[Interlude]
Money
[Verse 3]
You can see I’m single-minded
I know what I could be
How’d you feel about it?
Come and take a walk with me
I’m looking for a partner
Regardless of expense
Think about it seriously
You know it makes sense
[Chorus]
Let’s make
(Got the brains, got the looks)
Let’s make lots of money
(Money)
(Let’s make)
You’ve got the brawn, I’ve got the brains
(Ooh)
Let’s make lots of money
(Money)
[Chorus]
I’ve got the brains, you’ve got the looks
(Got the brains, got the looks)
Let’s make lots of money
(Ooh money)
[Outro]
Money

The Boys rock.I remember watching this and got hooked on their brilliant music
Stunning works
I rember this at the time fanastic .considering everything crashed 30 mins before broadcast came back 10 mins before going live and they still killed it
Let's. Make.
Yall know why I'm here 😎🤪
Р. S. B. Forever🇺🇦
Two Fairlight in synchro for sequence, 1 Yamaha DX7, 1 Yamaha DX1 (the beast), 1 Emulator II, 1 Piano Technics DV1 and a lot of outboard…
Love the 80's
Labas rytas
I saw this performance on TV at the time. They'd already had 2 chart hits and I was curious to see them perform "live". It's amazing that this version is from 29th April as the single was released on 19th May and is so different. I can only assume they wanted to prove they could play live but didn't have the "tools" to do it justice (extra musicians, backing singer etc). This is raw and that's what I like about it. The finished version is way better and one of my favourite PSB tunes ever but the fact Neil is playing keyboards proves they're not just a karaoke outfit (like Erasure)
Starts with an old Fuzzbox, ends with a young Vernon Kay ❤❤
Back for another visit…..
I love the fact that the midi-page of their Fairlight was connected to the screens in the background showing the programming for the song playing along with their live performance. So great to see.
I'm extremely late to the party and just discovered this band last year (2021), and this was one of the first videos I ever watched, so I thought this was a normal setup for them, like "oh okay this group is 2 dudes on synthesizers and one of them also sings". Going back and rewatching after I've been a fan for about 6 months and forgot about this video, and I'm like 😯 "omg! Neil on a synth!!!" Haha
Is this the oldest clip of PB?
First time i see both of Pet Shop Boys are actually playing keyboards.
Chris's main pad line on the DX1 sounds like a layered brass patch utilizing all 12 operators!!! Geek alert
Maravilhosos!!! Lindos!!! Eu amo Pet Shop Boys!! Pet Shop Boys forever and ever!! ❤❤❤
DX1
I keep coming back to this. Stunning
Remember hearing this song on the billionaires Boys club movie 1987.
Neil is extrovert and singer. Chris is introvert and keyboarder. I think thats why they cooperating together by so many years. They fully complete each other!
The mega rare DX1
Пишите по-русски, накрайняк по-украински, а то ж ничё не понятно?!
There used to be a version of this with the full intro
Só boas lembranças, showwwww pra cara………, Adrenalina pura
I wish they didn’t cut out the beginning part with the piano.
Te amo demasiado Neil Tennant.
王道な曲ですね。
This band is awfully terrific and awesome.
Ridicolous prettyyyy love alllll
fairlight, dx1 and emulator 2 in the same video 😀 nice! and it seems to be live also!
Has that mid-80's feel all over it…never really liked the PSB but there 1st album 'Please' was great!
They played Later at the same time. Looked super nervous
Neil Tennant just leaving it in there for future historians to see he could do some playing himself. Great clip.
AWESOME SONG 👌👌👌👌👌 AWESOME PET SHOP BOYSSSSSSS 👌👍👍💪💪👍👌👍
Is this version also available on CD or Vinyl? Or can someone please tell me the name of this version/mix? Thanks!
I love this remix ❤️❤️
Musica quasi al confine col rumore del resto qui erano ancora ⚓ in fasce
Extraordinaria version..
