Shame

Shame - Future Hit Makers

Well, there's three versions of this story

Mine and yours and then the truth

And we can put it down to circumstance

Our childhood, then our youth

Out of some sentimental gain I wanted you to feel my pain

But it came back return to sender

I read your mind and tried to call,

my tears could fill the Albert Hall

Is this the sound of sweet surrender?

What a shame we never listened

I told you through the television

And all that went away was the price we paid

People spend a lifetime this way

what a shame

So I got busy throwing everybody

Underneath the bus, oh

And with your poster thirty foot high

At the back of Toys R Us

I wrote a letter in my mind,

but the words were so unkind

About a man I can't remember

I don't recall the reasons why,

I must have meant them at the time

Is this the sound of sweet surrender?

What a shame we never listened

I told you through the television

And all that went away was the price we paid

People spend a lifetime this way

And that's how they stay

Oh, what a shame

Words come easy

When they're true

Words come easy

When they're true

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus

And with your poster thirty foot high at the back of Toys R Us

Now we can put it down to circumstance

Our childhood, then our youth

What a shame we never listened

I told you through the television

And all that went away was the price we paid

People spend a lifetime this way

And that's how they stay

People spend a lifetime this way

Oh, what a shame

What a shame

Such a shame, what a shame

Beautiful shame i'm a shame
