What a Shame Lyrics
They dug the shade of his bop, they liked the way that he spoke
They flew him out of the sticks and put him up in the smoke
They gave him chocolate and cheese they told him he was the next
Young stun to some young life straight from the chest
The way he spat at the mike his lyrics couldn’t be fresher
They say he’d be a superstar if he could handle the pressure
After they put it to paper, they took him to tea
And told him just a couple changes that they wanted to see
(Chorus)
Oh what a shame, but it’s easy can’t you see
Oh what a shame that they won’t ever let you be
They said his hair would be better if he coloured it black
And that he wouldn’t sound as harsh if he could tone it all back
They dressed him up in a craze to make him look pretty
They said the kids would dig if he looked like he came from the city
They listened back to his cuts, his music was tight
But if he changed a couple lyrics in the chorus it might sound
Fresher than ever, a radio hit
And all the ladies would sing it when they get into the pit
Chorus
Chorus
They flew him out of the sticks and put him up in the smoke
They gave him chocolate and cheese they told him he was the next
Young stun to some young life straight from the chest
They say he’d be a superstar if he could handle the pressure
After they put it to paper, they took him to tea
And told him just a couple changes that they wanted to see
Oh what a shame, but it’s easy can’t you see
Oh what a shame that they won’t ever let you be
And that he wouldn’t sound as harsh if he could tone it all back
They dressed him up in a craze to make him look pretty
They said the kids would dig if he looked like he came from the city
But if he changed a couple lyrics in the chorus it might sound
Fresher than ever, a radio hit
And all the ladies would sing it when they get into the pit
