(by Talk Talk)


Such a shame to believe in escape

'A life on every face'

And that's a change

Till I'm finally left with an eight

Tell me to relax, I just stare

Maybe I don't know if I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame


Such a shame

Number me with rage

It's a shame

Such a shame

Number me in haste

Such a shame

This eagerness to change

It's a shame


The dice decide my fate

And that's a shame

In these trembling hands my faith

Tells me to react, 'I don't care'

Maybe it's unkind that I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame


Such a shame

Number me with rage

It's a shame

Such a shame

Number me in haste

Such a shame

This eagerness to change

Such a shame


Tell me to relax, I just stare

Maybe I don't know if I should change

A feeling that we share

It's a shame


Such a shame

Number me with rage

It's a shame

Such a shame

Number me in haste

It's a shame

Such a shame

Write it across my name

It's a shame

Such a shame

Number me in haste

Such a shame

This eagerness to change


Such a shame
