It's A Sin Lyrics

Artist: Pet Shop Boys

As I look back upon my life..
it's always with a sense of shame..
I've always been the one to blame...

For everything I long to do..
no matter when or where or who..
has one thing in common too..

it's a.. it's a.. it's a.... it's a sin....

it's a sin..

My father taught me how to be
So pure of thought.. and word and deed..
he didn't quite succeed........

for everything I long to do..
no matter when or where or who..
has one thing in common too..

it's a.. it's a.. it's a....... it's a sin...

everything I've ever done..
everything I'll ever do
everyplace I've ever been..
everywhere I'm going to........

it's a sin.....

Father forgive me...
I tried not to do it....
Turned over a new leaf...
then tore right through it...
Whatever you taught me...
I didn't believe it...
Father you fought me..
cuz I didn't care.. and I still don't.. understand.......

Now as I look back upon my life..
it's always with a sense of shame..
I've always been the one to blame..

for everything I long to do..
no matter when or where or who..
has one thing in common too..

it's a.. it's a.. it's a......... it's a sin...

it's a sin....

everything I've ever done..
everything I'll ever do..
every place I've ever been..
everywhere I'm going to.....

it's a sin...

it's a sin...

(quiet talking in the background.. rather unintelligible)
(end)

Quite a concise summation of the prevailing attitude in modern society, doncha think?
