It’s A Sin – Elton John, Years & Years (originally by Pet Shop Boys)

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 Have 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
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 Every place 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
(I still don’t understand)
So I look back upon my life Forever 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 sin
Everything I’ve ever done Everything I ever do Every place I’ve ever been Everywhere I’m going to
