What A Shame About Me
I was grinding through my day gig
Stackin cutouts at the strand
When in walks franny from nyu
We were quite an item back then
We talked about her films and shows and cds
And I dont know what else
She said, yeah, hollywoods been good to me
But tell me - how about yourself
Chorus:
Im still working on that novel
But Im just about to quit
cause Im worrying about the future now
Or maybe this is it
Its not all that I thought it would be
What a shame about me
She said, talk to me, do you ever see
Anybody else from our old crew
Bobby dakine won the bunsen prize
Now hes coming out with something new
Alan owns a chain of steamer heavens
And barry is the software king
And somebody told me in the early 80s
You were gonna be the next big thing
Chorus:
Well now that was just a rumor
But I guess Im doin fine
Three weeks out of the rehab
Living one day at a time
Sneaking up on the new century
What a shame about me
What a shame about me
Im thinking of a major jane street sunrise
And the goddess on the fire escape was you
We both ran out of small talk
The connection seemed to go dead
I was about to say, hey, have a nice life
When she touched my hand and said:
You know I just had this great idea
This could be very cool
Why dont we grab a cab to my hotel
And make believe were back at our old school
Chorus:
I said babe you look delicious
And youre standing very close
But like this is lower broadway
And youre talking to a ghost
Take a good look its easy to see
What a shame about me
What a shame about me

When Lovers Become Strangers
Youre looking at him across the room
Wondering just how it all slipped away so soon
Youre looking to find some look in his eyes
That will take you back to yesterday
Dont remember the when or the where or why
All you know is that something has changed inside
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You know its over, youve got to say goodbye
Chorus:
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
Its such a shame, when you dont know each other any more
And all the memories that you shared
Are all thats still there
Its such a shame, when lovers become strangers
You cant seem to find the right words to say
And its too late for talking now anyway
Theres no one to blame its just not the same
And its never gonna be the same again no
So youre trying to figure out what went wrong
Where does the feeling go when the feelings gone
And you pray for the strength just to carry on
Youve got to let go of something youve loved so long
Chorus
So kiss him goodbye, try to walk away
With your head held high
Think about the good times, dont cry, dont cry
Though its tearing you apart inside
Its such a shame, its such a shame
And you cant bring it back no matter how you try
You got to let go, youve gotta say goodbye

Hidden Shame
Im sorry to say that you dont know me
Im sad in ways you never understood
Each time I try to tell the ugly truth
You always let it pass you by
You said I d never tell you a lie
Just because I could
Did you really think I was a bad man?
You always said that that should be my middle name
But you dont know the half of it
You dont know how that name fits
You dont know my hidden shame
Hidden shame, shame, shame
That I cant get free
From the blame and the torture
And the misery
Must it be my secret for eternity?
Till you know my hidden shame you really dont know me
Well, theres a different kind of prison
And it dont even have to look much like a cell
Its already on your mind
Boy, we can see it in your eyes
So, heres the bars and walls as well
Well, you know Im never coming home, babe
You said youd stand by me until I cleared my name
Sure its easy to be strong
When you know the charge is wrong
But the days and weeks get long
When youve got a hidden shame
Chorus
I had a friend when I was just a boy
We were like brothers, we would run and hide
And we went walking on a high hillside
And I really dont how it happened
He turned to me and had this strange look in his eye
And not a single word was spoken
I must have pushed him, but I dont remember why
And all at once, he lay there broken
And I walked down without him and I didnt even sigh
Chorus
They say you always hurt the one you love
And Im not saying if I did or if I didnt
But like my shame, that kind of love is always hidden
They locked me up here for the ideas in my head
They never got me for the thing I really did

Shame Is On The Rocks
Guess whos walking in your tracks
(dont look back)
Forcing you to re-enact
(making contact)
No-ones safe when
Shame is on the rocks
Theres no faith when
Shame is on the rocks
Bow your head, youll hear his call
(hear his call)
Such a shame, for one so tall
(instant recall)
No-one walks when
Shame is on the rocks
Theres no talk when
Shame is on the rocks
Slower than the second coming
It will happen all the same
Knowing why the spirits broken
Its a shame
Think before you say a word
(someone heard)
Go before you are disturbed
(days are numbered)
Lose your aim when
Shame is on the rocks
Miss the train when
Shame is on the rocks
Shame is the one with power in his hand
There he waits, without a plan
But no-one came, its such a...
Shame is the same for you and you and you
There are no chosen few
Who will remain? its such a...

Shame
The citys burning with desire
High-heeled chicks turnin tricks in a trance
Pin-stripe zombies on fire
Sayin hey baby, heres a dime for a dance
(out on the street)
I see innocent faces in the rain
(out on the street)
I see make-up runnin down from tears of pain
Down the drain
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
For what papa did
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
cause nobody wants to know
The neon moon turns red around midnight
Junior junkies and runaway girls
Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights
Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world
(out on the street)
Aint no room for no cheap talkin prayer
(out on the street)
You dont know what its like till youre there
And youre runnin scared
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go
So young
Yet so old
So hard to find a friend
She lives from lover to lover
till theres nothing left of her
Yeah sweet daddy scores again
Shame
Now mama tell it like it is
Its a shame
The way papa hurt his kid
Its a shame
Your sister shouldve told you so
Its a shame
Cmon man let her go
The world shouldve let you know
Cmon man let her go
Shame on the school
Shame on the teacher
Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature
Shame on the parish

From where he stands that man dont have half a chance to reach her

At the picture show so the rumour goes

You give me such a bumpy landing

Getting a bad reaction

So What The Fuss
If I'm caught at a dance party without my dancin shoes
And everybody dances on my bare feet
Shame on me
If I'm mindin my business just doin the right thing
And you try to front me off in the street
Shame on you
If a family's waiting for that special blessing to
come their way
But they ain't tryin to get on their knees and pray
Shame on them
And if we live in a time where every nation's fightin
'round the world
Yet we can't all agree that peace is the way
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
(repeat)
So what the fuss
If I gotta get up early in the morning for a job
interview
And I forget to set the stupid alarm
Shame on me
If my children are playin outside like little children
do
And you come 'round there tryin to bring them some
harm
Shame on you
Should I be drivin thru a klantown, find a restaurant
to get me some food
And someone says "hey boy, we don't serve your kind"
Shame on them
And if we live in a democracy and you don't use your
power to vote
Knowin some would like to turn back the hands of time
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
(repeat)
So what the fuss
If I'm hooked on a habit knowin damn well it could
cost me my life
Yet I keep doin what I should do without
Shame on me
If you're locked in a marriage and your other half
just gives you abuse
Yet you've convinced yourself that there's no way out
Shame on you
If we're jammin the music and somebody's got the
audacity
To say that they can jam it better than us
Shame on them
And should there be just a handful that believe that
we are totally free
And there's no need to fight for equality
Shame on us
Shame on me, Shame on you, Shame on them, Shame on us
(repeat)
So what the fuss

What About The Music
I don't mind talking, girl
But there's a time and place
Right now we're alone, yeah
But it's just gone to waste
Look up and see the moon
Slide down the clouds
The radio is playing softly now
So if you talk above a wisdom
It's too loud
What about the music, babe
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
You keep on talking, girl
We can talk on the phone
We should be kissing, babe
Now that we're alone
Though when they're singing
Love songs to the moon
You know it's love
That makes the flowers bloom
But you keep saying things you
Could tell me in a crowded room
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon, babe
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music
Sweet soul music
What about the moon
Hey, what about the moon, babe
We are loving and i can't lose it
We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon

We'll be leaving soon
What about the music, yeah
What about the moon
It's a shame if we talk music
We'll be leaving soon

Finding Me
I dont think you notice
When you see my face
I guess youre waiting
To spin me around again
Wheels I guess are turning
Somewhere inside my head
I know that this is
Deeper than you get
But youre coming back again
You dont mean to waste my time
But youre coming back so
Chorus
Dont tell me
How to be
cause I like some suffering
Dont ask me
What I need
Im just fine
Here finding me
Me
Ive already given
Up on getting through
I never question
Who Im talking to
Oh so much for nothing
But nothing means so much
I know its touching
But Ive been out of touch
And its all that I can do
Im a sight for my sore eyes
But its all I am so
Chorus
I dont think you notice
When I cant reach out
I guess youre waiting
On somebody else again
Oh so much for talking
Its all been said before
Im hearing something
But I wish youd just say more
But youre going off again
When I try to just hold on
But youre going off so

What you doing in the alley
Are you lost again
Aint no good going down that road honey
Aint no good at all
Getting down on your knees just for the money
And youre the first to fall
No shame you feel no shame
Just come back home again
No blame I lay no blame
Just come back home again
Going on a road trip easy rider
One thing youve got to know
You walking on a minefield
Better watch your number
Before you know it you might blow
I can see the sand in the hourglass
And I can hear the last call
You better take youre chance before its in the past
And youre the first to fall

Just come back home again

Hand To Hold On To
You can laugh and joke and make fun of your friends,
Spin in the middle when your troubles begin,
Take it nice and easy and always pretend
That youre cool.........so cool..........so cool.
Say, imunna hold onto that a while and I will and Ill be tame,
Talk like a jerk on an educated brain,
Be an old girl drivin the young boys insane,
Be a joker, a preacher....it does not matter.
Chorus:
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Everyone needs a hand to hold on to
Dont need to be no strong hand
Dont need to be no rich hand
Everyone just needs a hand to hold on to
Havin good luck with your financial situation,
Play the ponies, be the president of the united nation,
Go to work and be a hollywood stand,
Drive your 4 wheel drive right into the mud, but

And in those hours when youre alone,
And theres nobody there except yourself,
I know it.........you wanna pick up the phone,
And say, talk to me, talk to me, somebody please

(sung with hal ketchum) written by neil diamond and hal ketchum
(check it out
Im a little man
But youre my woman
And together well be strong)
The end of the road, is lonesome and cold
Aint no place for making a stand
I got too much of you on my mind
Too much time on my hands
Some people say there just aint no way
We can hold on and see this thing thru
I dont care what they say
They never loved one like you
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Hurt you with their lies
But words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you
I remember the day that I drove you away
Lord that whistle gave a lonesome moan
The train that took you away
Is gonna bring you back home
And Ill be standing right there in the cold mornng air
When that train comes a rolling in
Knowing, once youre back in my arms
You wont be leaving again
Shame, it comes in every size
Touches many lives
Knocks on many doors
Shame, Ive seen it in your eyes
Theyll hurt you with their lies
But their words dont count at all
Because I dont care what they say
There aint no shame in loving you

What Are You Gonna Do
When you are alone,
You come back cryin and you want to go home;
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Was your idea to pack up and go.
You said you had no life of your own.
Movin in was not too hard to do.
Ya got second thoughts; youre gonna have to choose.
Chorus:
What are you gonna do ?
Forget about your mother and think about you.
For someone forgettin it seems
Like youre lettin it take you away from me.
Told you all the secrets that were mine.
The good things that I picked up overtime.
Wont accept the reason why youre here;
Talk things out; overcome the fear.

You know that leaving me would be wrong;
