Trying to recall the name of a song - Bonski Beat? Pet Shop Boys?

Hell All!

I'm wracking my brains trying to recall the name of a certain 80's song.....something about meeting behind a shed on the athletic field in order to try some sexual experimentation.

Ring any bells?

Many Thanks!

I do remember this song by Bronski Beat...reminds me of The Duplex...I guess they played it a lot when I was in there...

Smalltown boy
You leave in the morning
With everything you own
In a little black case
Alone on a platform
The wind and the rain
On a sad and lonely face
Mother will never understand
WHy you had to leave
For the love that you need
Will never be found at home
[ Find more Lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.org/c8u ]
And the answer you seek
Will never be found at home
Pushed around and kicked around
Always a lonely boy
You were the one
That they'd talk about around town
As they put you down
And as hard as they would try
They'd hurt to make you cry
But you'd never cry to them
Just to your soul
No you'd never cry to them
Just to your soul

The only Bronski Beat song I can recall is Hit That Perfect Beat.

Could it be "Can You Forgive Her" by the Pet Shop Boys? From 1992.

One of the lines was:

Remember when you were more easily led
behind the cricket pavilion or the bicycle shed
Trembling as you dreams came true....

Since I was dealing with sexual identity issues when it came out, the song completely freaked me out initially. WAY too close to home.

LOVED The Pet Shop Boys. Bronski Beat, not so much.

Now I have to listen to Smalltown Boy. An 80's classic and one of my favorite songs.

Check out Jimmy Sommerville. He was the lead singer for both Bronski Beat and The Communards. Communards had great remakes of Never Can Say Goodbye and Don't Leave Me This Way.
