Robbie Williams, ft. Gary Barlow: “Shame”, testo e video del nuovo singolo

Finalmente, dopo tanto parlare, eccoci ad ascoltare e guardare il video del nuovo singolo “Shame” che vede protagonisti Robbie Williams e Gary Barlow. I due segnano cosi il primo capitolo della reunion di Robbie con la band dei suoi esordi, i Take That. Il brano, accompagnato dal video che ha destato un pò di curiosità visti i chiari riferimenti “gay”, è inserito nel Greatest Hits di Robbie “In and out of consciousness -The Greatest Hits 1990-2010” che celebra i suoi vent’anni di carriera e esce in Italia il 12 ottobre prossimo. Di seguito vi proponiamo il testo del brano.

“Shame”
Well there’s 3 versions of this story mine, yours and then the truth
And we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood, then our youth
Out of some sentimental gain I wanted you to feel my pain, but it came back return to sender
I read your mind and tried to call, my tears could fill the Albert Hall, is this the sound of sweet surrender?

What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame.

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us
I wrote a letter in my mind, but the words were so unkind, about a man I can’t remember
I don’t recall the reasons why, I must have meant them at the time, is this the sound of sweet surrender?

What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
And that’s how they stay
Oh what a shame.

Words come easy, when they’re true
Words come easy, when they’re true

So I got busy throwing everybody underneath the bus
And with your poster 30 foot at the back of Toys-R-Us
Now we can put it down to circumstance, our childhood then our youth.

What a shame we never listened
I told you through the television
And all that went away was the price we paid
People spend a lifetime this way
And that’s how they stay
Oh what a shame.

People spend a lifetime this way
Oh what a shame
Such a shame, what a shame
