Tell the story
ย
Once I knew a love so true
Every inch an artist
An eye for detail without equal
And a face for trusting
A country girl who knew the world
But whose judgement was too reckless
And when in turn she showed concern
She wore it like a necklace
So come on, have yourself a good time
Go out and share the blame
Do what you should but if it makes you feel good
I hope you feel no shame
ย
She could not see that sympathy
Was no recompense
A gift belated, motivated
By a guilty conscience
A hand that steals and a hand that heals
The Anglo-Saxon attitude
The hand that feeds, the hand that needs
And expects no gratitude
So come on, have yourself a good time
Go out and share the blame
Do what you should but if it makes you feel good
I hope you feel no shame
ย
Oh, what I'd give once more to live
In childhood innocence
The things men do with words so true
Would seem much more like common sense
An empire built on civilised guilt
And yet the homeland still is the stranger
To my friends who make amends
But in trying see no danger
So come on and have yourself a good time
Go out and share the blame
Do what you should but if it makes you feel good
I hope you feel no shame
I hope you feel no shame
I hope you feel no shame
I hope you feel no shame on you
ย
I hope you feel no shame
