WELL THERE'S THREE VERSIONS
OF THIS STORY MINE
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
OH WHAT A SHAME
SO I GOT BUSY THROWING EVERYBODY
UNDERNEATH THE BUS OH
AND WITH YOUR POSTER THIRTY FOOT
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
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
OH WHAT A SHAME
UH UH UH
SUCH A SHAME
WHAT A SHAME
