Shame

Shame

Now there's a lifestyle

With painted lips

Now there's a lifestyle

Everybody wants it

But it don't exist

And I said shame...

In the dancehalls and the cinema

Shame

On the TV and the media

Shame

We loved you

Shame

In the dancehalls and the cinema

Shame

On the TV and the media

Shame

We loved you

Now there's a lifestyle

With fashion chic

Now there's a lifestyle

Everybody in it wants to be elite

And I said

You with your brand new shoes and

You with yer greasy hair and

You with your mother's pride and poetry

Don't you want to feel the shame?

In the dancehalls

Can't you feel the shame?

And the TV

Can't you feel the shame?

We loved you, oh

Shame

In the dancehalls and the cinema

Shame

On the TV and the media

Shame

We loved you, oh

Shame

At the Lido and the opera

Shame

At the races

And the theatre

Shame

We loved you

And they said all we need is love

Shame

In the dancehalls

All we need is love

And the TV

All we need is love

We loved you

With the Beatles and the Rolling Stones

Shame

At the Lido and the opera

Shame

At the races

And the theatre

Shame

We loved you

Day after day

In the dancehalls

Day after day

In the dancehalls

Day after day

In the dancehalls, ooh...
