In private

"In private" is a song by LorD and Master featuring dEk101 on lead vocals. The song breaks a rule of the album, Featuring in that it is a Pet Shop Boys-penned song, though it technically was originally released by Dusty Springfield. However you look at it, either it's allowed or it isn't and rules are there to be broken. Derrick Ryder, also known as dEk101 had a terrible cold while doing the vocals and got through them using whiskey and Lemsip*.

Lyrics

Take your time
And tell me
Why you lied
I realise 
That we've been found out
This time

We should stand 
Together
If we can
But what you've planned
Means there's a difference
Between

What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together 
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember

So discreet 
(He's so discreet)
He never tried to meet
(He never)
Your friends or interfere
(No)
I take a back seat
(Back seat)
Between

What you're gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
And what you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember

So, what you gonna say
When you run back to your wife
I guess that's just the story of my life
What you gonna say

So take your time
And tell me
Why you lie
Or I may publicise
(No)
That there's a difference
(Difference)
Between

What you're gonna say 
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
What you're gonna do
In public
Say you were never in love
That you can remember

What you gonna say

Tell me, what you gonna say
In private
You still want my love
We're in this together
What you gonna do
In public
Say you were in love
That you can remember
