"Getting Away with It" was the first single by the English band Electronic, which comprised Bernard Sumner of New Order, ex-Smiths guitarist Johnny Marr, and guesting vocalist Neil Tennant of Pet Shop Boys. It was first released in 1989.
Musically, Bernard Sumner wrote the verse and Johnny Marr wrote the chorus. The lyrics, co-written by Tennant with Sumner, are a parody of Marr's Smiths partner Morrissey, and his public stereotyping as morose and masochistic (Pet Shop Boys would further satirise this trend on their 1990 song "Miserablism").
The fluid, rich production incorporates a full orchestra (conducted by Art of Noise's Anne Dudley) and a rare guitar solo by Marr, while the three remixes that appeared on the two UK 12-inch releases take in disparate musical styles like disco and acid house.
"Getting Away with It" was first issued by Factory Records in the United Kingdom in December 1989, and released the following year in the rest of the world. It appeared on 7-inch, 12-inch, CD and cassette. The primary B-side was an instrumental called "Lucky Bag", the only unadulterated reflection of Marr and Sumner's early, shared enthusiasm for Italo house. This song was also remixed and released on the UK maxi single.
"Getting Away with It (All Messed Up)" is a song by indie band James, appearing on their 2001 album Pleased to Meet You. It became an unofficial theme tune to the band's final tour in 2001. The final show with Tim Booth in December 2001 was released on DVD under the title Getting Away with It Live. The idea of surviving against the odds is an echo of James' career as a whole. "Getting Away With It (All Messed Up)" was one of the songs on the soundtrack for the 2005 film The Big White and in the TV series As If (season two, episode 15).
It has been remixed by Sean Quinn and Vandalism.

I've been walking in the rain
Just to get wet on purpose
I've been forcing myself not to forget
Just to feel worse
I've been getting away with it all my life (getting away)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
I love you more than you love me
I hate that mirror
It makes me feel so worthless
I'm an original sinner but when I'm with you
I couldn't care less
I've been getting away with it all my life
Getting away with it all my life (Getting away)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
More than you love me
I thought I gave up falling in love
A long long time ago
I guess I like it but I can't tell you
You shouldn't really know
And it's been true all my life
Yes, it's been true all my life
I've been talking to myself
Just to suggest that I'm selfish
(Getting ahead)
I've been trying to impress
That more is less and I'm repressed
(I should do what he said)
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
However I look it's clear to see
That I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
I love you more than you love me
Getting away with it
