| Heh, "Crying shame" must be an idiom, it's a way of saying something's a really great shame, but I think it sounds quite ironic in this song myself. Shame as in disappointment, I'm pretty sure. | |

Yep, "A Crying Shame" is a slightly ironic idiom in English that refers to a disappointment which is considered bad enough to provoke crying! It's usually used these days in sarcasm, to imply that whatever the speaker is referring to isn't actually a shame at all. E.G. "Busted split up!" "Oh, what a crying shame." |
