Lyrics:

Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face
And that's a change
'Til I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
This eagerness to change
It's a shame

The dice decide my fate
And that's a shame
In these trembling hands
My faith tells me to react, I don't care
Maybe it's unkind that I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste (such a shame)
This eagerness to change
Such a shame

Tell me to relax, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share
It's a shame

(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Write it across my name
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage
This eagerness to change

Such a shame

[jond]

British music culture in the 80s was second to none, a truly innovative period for British Artists

1984 - I am listening this song...
2024 - I am listening this song...
Same emotions....

[alliemarie]

Mark Hollis had the cutest, most joyful smile. RIP, we miss you.

[DaFuqBoom]

Simply brilliant. *It's my Life* album is very underrated.

[eloymendez]

Mark Hollis. Gone, but never ever forgotten. Some people should never die, absolute geniuses. Legend.

80s are untouched.. never reached.. never will be.. golden generation

[ilovesuisse]

When you hear Mark’s voice, without seeing him, you immediately know it’s Talk Talk.

[skymaster]

He said in an interview that he aimed to do timeless music. This piece shows he aimed and reached exactly this!

[cherylwells]

Absolutely love his facial expressions in this video. So grateful that I'm an 80's kid, wish I could go back in time and relive it. R.I.P. Mark

[freiheut]

Such a shame we don‘t have songs like this today....

[adelaney]

Bless his beautiful soul. A man ahead of his times. Gone but certainly not forgotten.

[San-Miquel]

If you're reading this, you have a damn good taste in music

[thomasfleischer]

I think, Mark never knew how unique his voice has been!
Rest in peace, brother!😭😭😭
Perhaps the best pop song that has ever been composed.
By the way, nobody mentions the incredible bass line of this majestic song!☝
Such a shame!!!

[skyewalker]

As a 15 year old when this was released, I had no idea how good it really was. Now at 52, I understand & appreciate it completely

[Alex-xqw]

Mark Hollis is a genius. RIP Mark Hollis. We always will love Mark Hollis. Mark Hollis personified the 80's feeling and the music when we were young. Thank you, Mark Hollis.

Listening in 2021 💙 Who's with me?
🇧🇷🇧🇷

This amazing singer is Mark Hollis. Born in the UK in 1955, he died in 2019, only 64 years old. What a pity this talent is no more among us. I became a huge fan of Talk-Talk in 1982. Great melodies compounded by super-cool beat was mesmerizing. I will forever cherish Mark's beautiful smile and the music he created.

[elenam]

What a voice, what a beautiful smile and unique talent.
Rest in peace Mark, you had passed away four years ago but you are unforgettable.
Thank you for your music.
