about

I adopt a narrative voice for this song. Please don't be under the illusion that the lyrics reflect my religious beliefs - they most certainly don't. The voice is that of a fundamentalist. I like writing songs from the perspective of different characters. This song was written in Cheltenham - a town with a strong evangelical foundation - it took me nine months to find a church which didn't hold fundamentalist beliefs.

lyrics

Soon it's all over, no more room for philosophical manoeuvre
You didn't listen to the knocking on your door
Now you can't hear the Word you need anymore

It's such a shame, such a shame, such a big, big shame
Such a shame, such a shame, such a big, big shame
Such a shame, such a shame, such a crying shame for you

You tell me you've reached your goal
So tell me the price you paid for your soul
You didn't listen to the knocking on your door
Now you can't hear the Word you need anymore

It's such a shame, such a shame, such a big, big shame
Such a shame, such a shame, such a big, big shame
Such a shame, such a shame, such a crying shame for you
