lyrics

Is he getting in some practice?
‘Cause lately he’s been lying to your face
He could have been an actress in another life, on a different stage
Down and out all over Johnsgate
It could kill you if you ever look back
So you’re sleeping on a friend’s couch
You’re starting again from scratch
You’re picking up all the scraps
What a Shame
(When you think of the past)
What A Shame
Ecologically anxious
And the cold comfort of a single bed
Creatively distracted
You make art to drive away the dread
In a five bedroom townhouse
That should’ve been knocked for years
You build a bunker in a bedroom
You build a road to take you from here
A future without fear
That this could be the worst day of your life
Or could it be the best thing that ever happened to you?
What a shame.
(When you think of the past)
What A Shame
When you think of the past
You hope that this won’t last
But all that glitters turns to sand.
