Arranged alphabetically, <i>One Hundred Lyrics and a Poem </i>presents an overview of his considerable achievement as a chronicler of modern life: the romance, the break-ups, the aspirations, the changing attitudes, the history, the politics, the pain. <p/>The landscape of Tennant's lyrics is recognisably British in character - restrained and preoccupied with the mundane, occasionally satirical, yet also yearning for escape and theatrical release. Often surprisingly revealing, this volume is contextualised by a personal commentary on each lyric and an introduction by the author which gives a fascinating insight into the process and genesis of writing. <p/>Flamboyant, understated, celebratory and elegiac, Neil Tennant's lyrics are a document of our times.
