ON AIR: “Shame” – Robbie Williams ft Gary Barlow

Shame – Robbie Williams ft Gary Barlow

Well there’s 3 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 at the back of Toys-R-Us

I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can’t remember

I don’t 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 that’s how they stay

Oh what a shame.

Words come easy, when they’re true

Words come easy, when they’re true

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus

And with your poster 30 foot 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 that’s how they stay

Oh what a shame.

People spend a lifetime this way

Oh what a shame

Such a shame, what a shame
