Well there's three
version of this story
mine and 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 life time this way
Oh what a shame
So I got busy throwing
everybody underneath the bus
Oh and with your poster
30 foot high at the
back of Toy 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 life time 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 high at the
back of Toy 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 life time this way
And that's how they stay
People spend a life time this way
Oh what a shame
what a shame
Such a shame what a shame
