Shame lyrics by Lauren Mayberry
Wash your mouth out
Speak only when spoken to
Pure devotion
Make sure that it doesn’t bruise
What a shame, shame
It’s a shame, it’s a shame game
In the den of a lion
All the same, same
Different names, never gonna change
But I’ll swear that I’m trying
I feel schizophrenic, how poetic, romanticise all the pain
How pathetic, drinking gasoline and calling me the flame
Baby, I’m a hypocrite, I’ll take you to the grave
Oh, what a shame
Tell me sweet things
Just enough to make me beg
I’ll learn to like it
Or at least that’s what you said
What a shame, shame
It’s a shame, it’s a shame game
In the den of a lion
All the same, same
Different names, never gonna change
But I’ll swear that I’m trying
I feel schizophrenic, how poetic, romanticise all the pain
How pathetic, drinking gasoline and calling me the flame
Baby, I’m a hypocrite, I’ll take you to the grave
Oh, what a shame
How embarrassing to get this far and never really change
I know you are what you eat, but it’s the taste that keeps me tame
We both know I’m a hypocrite, I’ll take you to the grave
What a shame, shame, it’s a shame, shame
I feel schizophrenic, how poetic, romanticise all the pain
How pathetic, drinking gasoline and calling me the flame
Baby, I’m a hypocrite, I’ll take you to the grave
Oh, what a shame (Ha-ha-ha)
Oh, what a shame
Oh, what a shame
