"Love Is a Bourgeois Construct" is a song by English synth-pop duo Pet Shop Boys from their twelfth studio album, Electric (2013).
[9] Neil Tennant came up with the title based on a passage from the novel Nice Work by David Lodge, about a plant manager who falls in love with a feminist university lecturer.
[9] The lyrics make reference to the writings of Karl Marx, from the narrator's university days,[9] and to Labour Party politician Tony Benn, who was known for his tea-drinking habit.

[18] The song was played regularly during the Super Tour,[19] and it is included on the live album Inner Sanctum, which was recorded during the Pet Shop Boys' residency at the Royal Opera House in July 2018.
