Lyrics
Feel No Shame
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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 who's judgment was too reckless
And when in turn she showed concern
She wore it like a necklace
So come on now, 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
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
Can expect no gratitude
So come on now, 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
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 civilized guilt
Yet the homeland still is the stranger
To my friends who make amends
But in tryin' see no danger
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
I hope you feel no shame
I hope you feel no shame on you
Yeah... yeah yeah yeah!
Whoaaah!
I hope, I hope you feel no shame
