We're the Pet Shop Boys

"I just love the fact that the Pet Shop Boys covered it, it is not one of their songs and I love the irony of me covering a cover. Above all that the romance for me in this song is paramount. Did I feel like a Pet Shop Boy when I was recording it? Yes, absolutely (said with a big smile). Chris Heath (the person who co-wrote Feel, my autobiography, with me) played it to me and I fell in love with it. I must say, when I’ve listened to it back and when I get a chance to sing it, the 'What have I, what have I, what have I done to deserve this' bit sends shivers down my spine everytime it comes up. It’s a sense of history, yours and mine,  and those particular lyrics really affect me. It’s an honour to do it. I love the Pet Shop Boys and I was pleased to learn that amongst pop genii I can hold my own."
