When I was nine years old I was singing and broke the Polish lamp Thought maybe I should just run away They'd never have to say 'Christ he could have been better than this.' They'd never have to see my awful rotten face again But someone caught me as I was heading for the door And soon I was tangled in their arms The shame shame Shame shame shame Shine everyday Shine everyday Shine everyday There's no hope when you're dancing in a steady wind I've crunched more toes than I can count And just when you think that you might have crossed the worst of it And just when you can't possibly do yourself in again You're caught a bad way You're feeling stupid and small Or you're only feeling human again Fuck break then mend away Shine everyday
