"West End Girls" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys. Written by Neil Tennant and Chris Lowe, the song was released twice as a single.The song's lyrics are concerned with class and the pressures of inner-city life in London which were inspired partly by T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land.
The Pet Shop Boys version introduces a harmonic variation not present in the original version. In the original, the ending phrase "always on my mind" is sung to a IV-V 7-I cadence (C-D 7-G). The Pet Shop Boys extend this cadence by adding two further chords: C-D 7-Gm 7 /B ♭-C-G (i.e. a progression of IV-V 7-III b-IV-I).
