Shame, Shame Lyrics


Shame, shame
I was a loner, unloved, I really didn't need any help at all
Shame, shame
I really thought I was fine, I was living it up just despite myself
Shame, shame
I used to wander the streets at midnight, avoiding any signs of life
Shame, shame
I used to suffer alone, I really didn't think it would make me strong
Shame, shame
I used to write it all down hopin' someone would read it years from now
Shame, shame
I used act like I was in a movie, so mysterious and misunderstood
Shame, shame
You started hangin' around, I really didn't think I could live it down
Shame, shame
I tried to play it cool but every single part of me felt so good
Shame, shame
Took me some place I've never been before, I was a foreigner in your land

I just couldn't let it go till now
A letter unopened just like a knock on the door
How do you think you're so special?
That no one knows what you're for, angel
Well, all the sweet nothings like on the other side of town
Do you feel the attachment to things that you want?
And do you wanna cut off reins? Forfeit the love while you can?
Now I run to the graveyard, I run and let him take you up
Aah, you could live it up now, oh and leave
Leave nothing but your bones
Shame, shame
I didn't know what to do, I was losin' myself, turning into you
Shame, shame
I was really undone, the life that I'd live seemed so useless now
Shame, shame
You know you made me do it and no, I don't regret, I repent
Shame, shame
(Na, na, na)
Shame, shame
(Na, na, na)
Shame, shame
(Na, na)
Shame, shame
Shame, shame
Shame, shame

Dr. Dog is a psychedelic rock group from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania which formed in 1999. The current lineup consists of Scott "Taxi" McMicken (vocals, guitar), Toby "Tables" Leaman (vocals, bass), Zach "Text" Miller (keyboards, guitar), Frank "Thanks" McElroy (guitar) and Eric "Teach" Slick (drums).

"There's a little folk, blues, indie rock, soul, bluegrass--and a whole lot of down-home harmonizing. It conjures images of old friends sitting on a porch swapping instruments and just letting the tape recorder run." - Doug Wallen

Dr. Dog has been creating music in various incarnations for four years now. Beginning with The Psychedelic Swamp, a concept album realized in the damp ruin of a flooded basement with waterlogged guitars and a digital delay pedal, the band has simmered on the back burner of our musical lives for most of its existence but we've recently renewed our resolve to forge ahead and give Dr. Dog the attention we think it deserves.

Although Dr. Dog has as many as 20 honorary "members" who have assisted in various (mostly spiritual) capacities through the years, the core of the band consists of five musicians. Our standard instrumentation includes two guitars, bass, drums, keyboard and three part harmonies. The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Tom Waits, David Bowie and Neil Young are influences, but we would be remiss in not acknowledging our debt to Pavement, Palace Brothers, R. Stevie Moore or Roy Wood.

Currently, the lineup is as such: Toby Leaman on bass and singing, Scott McMicken on woof+mud distortion solo guitar and voice, Frank McElroy on lean clean occasionally tremolo'd guitar, Zach Miller on keyboard(s) and Eric Slick on drums.

We've all done our share of playing. Toby and Scott have played together in a myriad of bands including Raccoon, Unleash the Bastards, and Beard; Andrew played bass in Raccoon and managed the phenomenal The Teeth; Zach has played with Bradford Trojan and Traffic Jam and studied jazz guitar.

Aside from the aforementioned Swamp album - a self-produced, self-recorded low-fi four track recording - we have two other recordings. Toothbrush is a compilation of fourth generation eight-track recordings culled from the past few years. Easy Beat was the first proper record, followed by the 2006 EP Takers And Leavers and two full-length albums, 2006's We All Belong and 2008's Fate. The latest release is called Shame, Shame, and was released April 6th, 2010.
