(Mark Hollis)
Ah ah, ah ah ah ah, ah ah, ah ah ah ah
Such a shame to believe in escape, a life on every face
But at least it's a change, until I'm finally left with the hate
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, 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
Such a shame to believe in escape, the dice decide my fate
That's a shame, in these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react "I don't care"
Maybe it's unkind if I should change a feeling that we share
It's a shame, such a shame
It's a shame, such a shame, such a shame, such a shame
Such 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
