Shame Songtext

von Robbie Williams

Well there’re 3 versions of this story mine and yours and then the truth
Now 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
Oh, what a shame

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
Oh, and with your poster 30 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 30 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
That's how they stay
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh, what a shame
What a shame

Oohhh, such a shame
What a shame ....
