TRACK 8:
Shame On Us JONATHA'S NOTE:I originally had this title as an assignment. A friend was working on a play and wanted me to contribute songs. "Shame on Us" was one of the songs she wanted me to write, along with "Little Boys Love Their Mothers" which later turned into Linger somehow. This one might even be sadder than "Inconsolable."
LYRICS:
It's the little failures every day that take you far away
Take you far away from here Fail to notice, fail to speak, fail to toe the line, Fail to keep the coast clear You'll kick the tiny silver shoes and linger in the hall The light's out in the living room You'll make some coffee then you'll go, drive blindly toward the moon All the monuments in bloom I guess we didn't fool anyone, for any part of the time Shame on us, shame on love Shame on us, shame on love Sometimes resignation finds me, sometimes it's just fear poisoning the Sound of your name There's nothing left here to amuse me no one left to blame All the players folded from the game I guess we didn't fool anyone, for any part of the time Shame on us, shame on love Shame on us, shame on love Shame on us, shame on love Shame on us, shame on love (I'll be tender, I'll be true, still in love with you) |
