"Right on cue, I fell in love with you…"

If you missed it on the TV the other night this is Shirley Bassey per­form­ing 'The Performance Of My Life', the Pet Shop Boys-penned song which brings her new album to a close. (It's not exactly a million miles away from 'Friendly Fire'.) Bassey told The Express that this is her favourite song on the album, adding that "I love all of the songs, but the Pet Shop Boys song 'The Performance Of My Life' got right into my head, and made me sob and not many songs do that. Now I feel I don’t need to write a book. The record is my autobiography."
