Well there's
three versions of
this story mine
then 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 surrende...r?
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
life time this way
oh what a shame
So I got busy throwing
everybody underneath
the bus
Ooh 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 surrende...r?
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
life time 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
life time this way
And that's how
they stay
people spend a
life time this way
oh what a shame
What a shame
Ooh ooh ooh
Such a shame
What a shame
It's a full on shame
Real shame
Horrible and stuff
Proper shame
Shame, shame
ha ha ha ha ha ha
