Crying Shame - Wild Strawberries

Jennie lost her job on labour day

She looks so disconnected but she’s really afraid

Ma-ma-monies gonna fade away

She says «oooh ooh oh, what a crying shame»

Louie’s on the corner reading resumes

He found them in alley by the fire escape

The letter in his pocket it says?

anything?

Oooh ooh oh, what a crying shame

Don’t give me your hand

(Don't give me your hand)

As an alibi

You call me misery

I call you civilized

No use in talkin to me

What a crying shame

Martha watches movie shows on the television

She says she’s into justice but she’s really afraid

Sometimes its a dollar for the man outside the mission

She says «Oooh ooh oh, what a crying shame»

Here I stand

Memorizing zeroes

Staring at the ivory glass

Behind the hurricane

One gold coin in the bottom

Lost and lonely

Maybe its a treasure

Maybe its?

ugly?

But maybe its a symbol of me

Woooh ooh oh what a crying

Woooh ooh oh what a crying

Woooh ooh oh what a crying shame

Don’t give me your hand

(Don't give me your hand)

As an alibi

You call me misery

I call you civilized

No use in talkin to me

What a crying shame

Sometimes its a dollar for the man outside the mission

Sometimes its a fleeting note of social decay

Most of the time its just peripheral vision

Oooh ooh oh, what a crying shame

Don’t give me your hand

(Don't give me your hand)

As an alibi

You call me misery

I call you civilized

No use in talkin to me

What a crying shame

Well don’t give me your hand

(Don't give me your hand)

As an alibi

You call me misery

I call you civilized

No use in talkin to me

What a crying shame
