Lyrics 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
