Elvis Costello - Hidden Shame слова песни
Im sorry to say that you dont know meIm sad in ways you never understoodEach time I try to tell the ugly truthYou always let it pass you byYou said I d never tell you a lieJust because I couldDid you really think I was a bad man? You always said that that should be my middle nameBut you dont know the half of itYou dont know how that name fitsYou dont know my hidden shameHidden shame, shame, shameThat I cant get freeFrom the blame and the tortureAnd the miseryMust it be my secret for eternity? Till you know my hidden shame you really dont know meWell, theres a different kind of prisonAnd it dont even have to look much like a cellIts already on your mindBoy, we can see it in your eyesSo, heres the bars and walls as wellWell, you know Im never coming home, babeYou said youd stand by me until I cleared my nameSure its easy to be strongWhen you know the charge is wrongBut the days and weeks get longWhen youve got a hidden shameChorusI had a friend when I was just a boyWe were like brothers, we would run and hideAnd we went walking on a high hillsideAnd I really dont how it happenedHe turned to me and had this strange look in his eyeAnd not a single word was spokenI must have pushed him, but I dont remember whyAnd all at once, he lay there brokenAnd I walked down without him and I didnt even sighChorusThey say you always hurt the one you loveAnd Im not saying if I did or if I didntBut like my shame, that kind of love is always hiddenThey locked me up here for the ideas in my headThey never got me for the thing I really didChorus
