It’s a sin Lyrics by Elton John, Olly Alexander

Night Call (New Year’s Edition)

2021

[Verse 1: Olly Alexander]
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: Olly Alexander]
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: Elton John]
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 whеre or who
Has one thing in common, too

[Chorus: Elton John & Olly Alexander, Olly Alexander & Elton John]
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I'vе ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

[Bridge: Olly Alexander & Elton John]
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
Still don't understand, yeah

[Verse 3: Elton John & Olly Alexander]
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: Elton John & Olly Alexander & Olly Alexander]
It's a, it's a, it's a, it's a sin
It's a sin
Everything I've ever done (I've ever done)
Everything I ever do (I ever do)
Every place I've ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It's a sin

[Outro: Elton John & Olly Alexander & Olly Alexander]
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
