Pet Shop Boys It's A Sin Lyrics

(Twenty seconds and counting...
 ... t minus fifteen seconds ...)
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"
