Shame / Free Love - Morphine

You know, they always tell you to write about what you know

So this is an old song called «Shame»

It goes like this

I felt bad and there was nothing I could do about it

Nothing I could do to make it go away

But I felt bad and I keep trying to kid myself about it

Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake

It’s my shame

This is my shame

I felt bad but I keep trying to kid myself about it, yeah

Trying to tell myself it was an honest mistake

I felt bad but what’s done is done

Just one thing remains

This is my shame

This is my shame

I know you’re mad at me

I know you wanna cut my throat

I know you think I think it’s all a joke

I don’t, no

I don’t

Hey

I felt bad and there was nothing I could do about it

Nothing I could do to make it go away

I felt bad and I keep trying to kid myslf about it

Try to tell myself it was an honest mistak

When I woke up I thought

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be okay

Everything is gonna be alright

Everything is gonna be okay then it hit me

Like a wave

Yeah, it hit me

Like a wave

This is my shame

This is my shame

This is my shame

Free love, free love

What is it?

Free love

Can I get some?

Normally love costs a bundle and plenty of trouble

But you fooled me, you fooled me

You ran away to Italy

With your psychiatrist

Who’s now a scientologist

Free love

Don’t bank on it, baby

Don’t bank on it, no

Don’t bank on it

Don’t bank on it, oh

Don’t bank on it, baby

Free love

So the next time someone offers you free love

Next time someone offers you free love

You know what to do

You better run for help

Run for shelter

Run for the nearest arms of a complete stranger

Run for a downtown lounge in the afternoon

Or the open arms of an unknown tomorrow

And you know why, you know why

Because love

Love is expensive

Free love

Don’t bank on it, baby

Don’t bank on it

Don’t bank on it

Don’t bank on it, oh

Don’t bank on it, baby

Free love

Thank you and good night, everybody
