[Intro]
"Twenty seconds and counting
T minus fifteen seconds, guidance is internal"

[Interlude: Neil Tennant]
"Oh, my Lord"

[Verse 1: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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

[Verse 2: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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

[Bridge: Neil Tennant]
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

[Verse 3: Neil Tennant]
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

[Chorus: Neil Tennant]
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

[Post-Chorus: Neil Tennant]
It's a sin

[Outro: Neil Tennant]
Confiteor Deo omnipotenti vobis fratres quia peccavi nimis cogitatione. Mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa
Zero
"Glastonbury, you're amazing!"
"Thank you very much! Good night!"
"We love you."
