It's A Sin Lyrics

(Tennant/Lowe)

T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is okay)

[?]

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

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

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

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, it's a, it's a, it's a sin

(Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres, quia peccavi nimis cogitatione,

verbo, opere et omissione, mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa)

 [trans. "I confess to almighty God,

 and to you my brothers,

 that I have sinned exceedingly

 in thought, word, act and omission,

 through my fault, through my fault,

 through my most grievous fault"]
