lyrics

It made its way into my cave
Here it found a resting place
I went to the roof to hide a sore truth
And danced away the day
And a fallen dame asked what’s its name?
Oh it’s shame, shame, shame

You can bar the door to the school
Venerate the town fools
Pipe in pipe dreams into the schemes
Sponsor your friends to fail
But no campaign can match the blame
Heaped on shame, shame, shame

Come steal away with me to the room
And corner me there let us break the rule

Braced for love’s declaration
Lovers of life stand in file
You must honour your station
They’ll only cry for a while

There are things you can say
There are things you mustn’t say
A natural born boundary even in families
It’s a fraudulent claim
It’s a life long game
Call it shame, shame, shame

Come steal away with me to the room
And corner me there let us break the rule

Braced for love’s declaration
Lovers of life stand in file
You must honour your station
They’ll only cry for a while
