Well theres 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
And with your poster 30 foot high at the
back of Toys-R-Us
I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind,
about a man I cant remember
I dont 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 thats how they stay
Oh what a shame.
Words come easy, when theyre true
Words come easy, when theyre true
So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
And with your poster 30 foot high 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 thats how they stay
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame, what a shame
Such a shame, what a shame
