"Shame On Me"
Released: January 19, 2015
"Shame On Me" is a song by Aqualung, with vocals by Josef. It was featured on the album "10 Futures" but never really released as a single. The song is about doing certain things that may not be considered as normal, but really not giving a shit and going for it 100%. It was originally written for Josef's album, but ended up on "10 Futures" in stead. What Matt Hales (Aqualung) says about the song: 'Halfway through making this with Josef I started plotting how to steal it from his record and have it on mine. I considered various underhand means. But in the end I just asked. It's amazing what can happen if you just ask.'

Lyrics
Got told off for taking a piss on Malibu Beach
I am smoking in my rental, shame on me
Now the vip chit chat with the lizards on hea
I’ve been making on the teenage dream now, shame on me
But feeling stronger in this plastic fantasy
I’ve lived in fear of younger better, shame on me
I even considered early booking at the Westwood Cemetery
But this is working now
Yeah this is working now
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh ye-yeah
The pressure’s easy now
The weight is lifted now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I’m on that open road
(on the road, on the road, on the road, on the road)
And there is no one in my lane
(in my lane, in my lane, in my lane, in my lane)
And I will be who I want
(who I want, who I want, who I want, who I want)
And I will do it my way
(Unashamed, unashamed, unashamed, unashamed)
I’m on that o-open road, ooh ooh
…and there is no one in my lane (ahh)
Now we got talking trash again now, shame on me
Hopeful and critical but I call it jealousy
No complaining, get into the tub
‘Cause I’m always right down in the dumps
With a paper I’m pulling up trumps, yeah shame on me
But this is working now
Yeah this is working now
Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh ye-yeah
The pressure’s easy now
The weight is lifted now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
I’m on that open road
(on the road, on the road, on the road, on the road)
And there is no one in my lane
(in my lane, in my lane, in my lane, in my lane)
And I will be who I want
(who I want, who I want, who I want, who I want)
And I will do it my way
(Unashamed, unashamed, unashamed, unashamed)
I’m on that o-open road, ooh ooh
…and there is no one in my lane (ahh)
Take it to the edge and ride it right in
Take it to the edge to get to the end
Take it to the edge and ride it right in
Take it to the edge to get to the end
(I’m on that open road)
I’m on that open road (Ahhhh)
And there is no one in my lane (Ahhhh)
And I will be who I want (Ahhhh)
And I will do it my way (Ahhhh)
I’m on that o-open road, ooh ooh
…and there is no one in my lane (ahh)
But this is working now
Yeah this is working now
But this is working now
Yeah this is working now
But this is working now
Yeah this is working now
Oh yeah, oh yeah
