Description
Upbeat song, simple drums.
The song employs an almost surf-riff guitar with a looping bass.
Additional information
Originally listed on the set list as Swiss Rhapsody. It was rumoured to be the first single of Black Holes and Revelations, but this was denied by the band. Also played at Earls Court and during the following American tour. It was one of the four "new" songs bootlegged by fans.
This is one of Muse's songs which indicates a skepticism concerning the ability of religion, or here "gods", to effect change. (Compare to Fury.)
Trivia
Crying Shame is the only Muse studio song with swearing in aside from the Starlight DVD's hidden track, although an early live version of Futurism had swearing in it.
Lyrics
Too late
Yeah baby it's too late And time has made the spell abate And now it's time to desecrate
But we had a dream And it was meant to be And we were kissing gods Against all the odds
Now it's a crying shame And it's a crying shame We don't know who to blame It'll never be the same And it's a crying shame
Too much We demolish too much And (yeah) we've really fucked it up Yeah baby you lost your touch
But we had a dream And it was meant to be And we were kissing gods Against all the odds
Now it's a crying shame And it's a crying shame You don't know who to blame It'll never be the same And it's a crying shame
And it's a crying shame
2004/2005 tour
Too Late
You finished too late And you’ve come to imitate All the stories of how I fail
You had a dream And it was meant to be When you were kissing God Against all the odds...
Now it's Crying Shame And it's Crying Shame That the whole world Forever be the same And it's crying ...
Too much You’ve been coming to what And I’ve been waiting for too long And you my baby I say so-long
You had a dream And it was meant to be When you were kissing God Against all the odds...
Nooo Because it’s a crying shame And it’s a crying shame That this whole world Forever be the same
And it's crying shame That this whole world Forever be the same.
