(Mark Hollis)
Such a shame to believe in escape
`A life on every face`
And that`s a change
Till I`m finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don`t know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Num
ber me with rage
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
It`s a shame
The dice decide my fate
And that`s a shame
In these trembling hands my faith
Tells me to react, `I don`t care`
Maybe it`s unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This eagerness to change
Such a shame
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don`t know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me with rage
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Write it across my name
It`s a shame
Such a shame
Number me in haste
Such a shame
This
eagerness to change
Such a shame
