[00:21.170]Well there's three versions of this story mine, yours and then the truth
[00:28.459]And we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood, then our youth
[00:35.889]Out of some sentimental gain I wanted you to feel my pain,
[00:41.229]but it came back return to sender
[00:45.829]I read your mind and tried to call, my tears could fill the Albert Hall,
[00:51.690]is this the sound of sweet surrender?
[00:56.399]
[00:57.359]What a shame we never listened
[01:02.590]I told you through the television
[01:06.499]And all that went away was the price we paid
[01:12.190]People spend a lifetime this way
[01:17.390]Oh what a shame
[01:19.719]
[01:20.879]So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
[01:28.419]And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us
[01:35.879]I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind,
[01:41.209]about a man I can't remember
[01:46.590]I don't recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time,
[01:50.969]is this the sound of sweet surrender?
[01:55.349]
[01:56.719]What a shame we never listened
[02:01.519]I told you through the television
[02:06.457]And all that went away was the price we paid
[02:11.767]People spend a lifetime this way
[02:17.937]And that's how they stay
[02:22.870]Oh what a shame.
[02:24.537]
[02:25.557]Words come easy, when they're true
[02:35.477]Words come easy, when they're true
[02:44.837]
[02:45.817]So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
[02:50.977]And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us
[02:56.670]Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth.
[03:03.270]
[03:04.287]What a shame we never listened
[03:08.947]I told you through the television
[03:14.770]And all that went away was the price we paid
[03:19.267]People spend a lifetime this way
[03:25.417]And that's how they stay
[03:29.377]People spend a lifetime this way
[03:34.988]Oh what a shame,what a shame
