IT'S A SIN by The Pet Shop Boys


album: Discography, 1991

(Twenty seconds and counting...
Two hours fifteen seconds, guidance is [inaudible])

When 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 ever do,
Everyplace I've ever been,
Everywhere I'm going to,
It's a sin.

At school, they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed;
They 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.
It's a sin.

Everything I've ever done,
Everything I 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
'cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand.

So I look back upon my life
For ever 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 ever do,
Every place I've ever been,
Everywhere I'm going to:

It's a sin.

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

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