Artist/Band: Robyn Hitchcock
Lyrics for Song: City of Shame
Lyrics for Album: I Wanna Go Backwards [2007]



It was in the City of Shame

That I found I wasn't to blame

I was looking for a weird thing to do

I discovered that it had to be you



It was in the City of Fear

That I shouted 'Is there nobody here?'

Though the echo had the name on a ring

Still the echo wasn't called anything



La la la la-la-la-la

La la la la-la-la-la

La la la la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la la-la la



It was in the City of Love

All the flesh I et was never enough

Though I knew it wasn't good for my soul

My body hungered for the ultimate goal



It was in the City of Spies

That I spoke with nothing but lies

When they set a trap for all you could feel

It's important that your mind is concealed



La la la la-la-la-la

La la la la-la-la-la

La la la la-la-la-la

La-la-la-la la-la la-la



It was in the City of Shapes

That she made love to several apes

She felt weird for a couple of days

Pretty soon she got used to their ways



It was in the City of Fools

That she sold her beautiful jewels

Someone bought them and sold them again

Now they've been bought by several men



La la la la-la-la

La la la-la

La la la la-la-la

La la la-la

La la la la la-la-la

La la la-la

La la la la la-la-la

La la la-la
