Patricia Barber - What a shame lyrics

What A Shame The bluest morning ever Broke today Forego the nighttime Find the moon In the afternoon Cry All day One is forgiven Much too soon Another year has come And gone my way My blood is thicker Showing signs Of pathology Fast on the track To decay Remorse as company Here to stay I need you I lost you What a shame The smoky faces lost In this café Their lips forever chat A grey uniformity Cry All day Amazing lethargy Here to stay I need you I lost you What a shame No sunrise No coffee What a shame No seaside No poets, no backbeat No lover, no mother No mainline, no downtime What a shame
