Song Lyrics

Shame

Now there's a lifestyle
With painted lips
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody wants it
But it don't exist and I said

"Shame
In the dance halls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you"

Shame
In the dance halls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you

Now there's a lifestyle
With fashion chic
Now there's a lifestyle
Everybody in it wants to be elite

And I said, "You with your brand new shoes and
You with your greasy hair and
You with your mother's pride and poetry
Don't you want to feel the

Shame?"
In the dance halls
Can't you feel the shame?
And the TV
Can't you feel the shame?
We loved you, oh

Shame
In the dance halls and the cinema
Shame
On the TV and the media
Shame
We loved you

Shame
At the Lido and the opera
Shame
At the races and the theater
Shame
We loved you
And they said all we need is love

Shame
In the dance halls
All we need is love
On the TV
All we need is love
We loved you
With the Beatles and the Rolling Stones

Shame
At the Lido and the opera
Shame
At the races and the theater
Shame
We loved you

Day after day
In the dance halls
Day after day
In the dance halls
Day after day
In the dance halls
