If I'd know what I know now Then I'd have shown a little more know how And I'd have sold my soul by now If I had known what I know now If I'd know what I know now Then I'd have shown a little more know how And I'd have sold my soul by now If I had known what I know now Smile on street corners with a leather jacket Walking like a peacock with your hands in your pockets Checking all your make up just to check you're the night kid Check you got enough of this to get through the night so Shame on you What a bad thing to do I said shame on you Shame on me too Shame on you If I'd known what I know now Then I'd have shown how much I love you And I'd have blown the back of my head through If I had known what I know now If I'd known what I know now Then I'd have shown a little respect now And I'd have signed my own cheque now If I had known what I know now I got me all my records from a market in Peking Speaking like they're looking and they look like they're speaking The feather's on fire, but the world is still turning Beggars can't learn, so you end up learning Shame on you What a bad thing to do I said shame on you Shame on me too Shame on you Shame on you
