"Shame" lyrics

"Shame"

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 yer brand new shoes and
You with yer greasy hair and
You with yer 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 no shame?
We loved you
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 theatre
Shame!
We loved you
And they said all we need is love
Shame!
In the dance halls
All we need is love
And 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 theatre
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)
