Feel No Shame - Neil Innes

作曲：Neil Innes

Tell the story

Innes Book of

Records 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

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

Innes Book of

RecordsAn 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
