It's a Sin (2023 Remaster) Songtext
von Pet Shop Boys

20 seconds and counting
T minus 15 seconds, guidance is internal

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
