Shame - Ciaran Lavery

Written by：Ciaran Lavery

All my friends they shoulder me

And my poor head of woe

They know I'm good

But I want to be bad

Standing there with the lights down low

And lovers who make love

They see me smiling

But I want to be sad

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out

Would you hold my head

Neath the water tap

And elbow me if I get too loud

Evil walks the streets by day

Tween every crack and pave

And by night it cowers and hides

Here it comes that awful sting

When you let someone in

You sit so bare in the lame legged chair

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out

Would you hold my head

Neath the water tap

And elbow me if I get too loud

I want to live between the lie

And where the truth dies

Everything in its own time

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out

Would you hold my head

Neath the water tap

And elbow me if I get too loud

Would you light me up

Really set me on fire

And be there when I'm burning out

Would you hold my head

Neath the water tap

And elbow me if I get too loud
