Such A Shame (5 42) Lyrics

(Mark Hollis)

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
