==Live==
Crying Shame was not performed live very often. After being performed at Earls Court on December 19 2004, the song would make a return for just under half of the gigs in April 2005. The band took a rest from playing it after April, skipping it for the seven remaining gigs after the 28th. While Assassin and Exo-Politics were skipped very rarely during this time, Crying Shame was never guaranteed to be performed.

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.
