lyrics

THERE’S NO SHAME IN A SONG

I DREAMED WE WERE OUT IN THE MEADOW WE WERE DOWN BY THE BROOK
WE WERE DEEP IN THE BUSH WE WERE LOST
AND HOW THESE MORNINGS START SUDDENLY OUT OF THE DARK
AND FROM THERE WE JUST RUN TO KEEP UP

AND THEY’VE GIVEN US TWO WEEKS TO GET BACK AT THEM
WELL WE’VE THE MONEY IT’S NOT REALLY ABOUT THAT
THERE’S SO MUCH AT STAKE THESE DESPERATE DAYS
AND WE’VE STOLEN MORE THAN WE COULD PAY BACK

AND THIS IS NOT A NEW YEAR
AND THAT WAS NOT A MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND THIS IS NOT A CLEAN SLATE, THERE’S NO PAGE TO TURN OVER
IT IS A DAY AWAY AND DONE AND GONE DONE AND GONE AND THERE’S NO SHAME IN A SONG

THEY SAID THE POINT ABOUT MOVING IS GETTING SOMEWHERE
BUT THE DESTINATION HAS NOT MADE ITSELF KNOWN
AND MAYBE WE’VE NOWHERE TO SETTLE DOWN
BUT I NEED A CHAIR YOU NEED A BED WE GOT A HOME

AND YOU WILL ASK WHERE I COME FROM AND I WILL SAY I DON’T KNOW
AND YOU WILL ASK WELL WHERE WAS I BORN
AND I AM THINKING ABOUT ENGLAND AND IRELAND AND WALES
AND SWEETPEA AND KAYPHER AND THEM ALL

AND THIS IS NOT A NEW YEAR
AND THAT WAS NOT A MERRY CHRISTMAS
AND THIS IS NOT A CLEAN SLATE, THERE’S NO PAGE TO TURN OVER
IT IS A DAY AWAY AND DONE AND GONE DONE AND GONE AND THERE’S NO SHAME IN A SONG
