Peter Frampton (born 22 April 1950 in Beckenham, Kent) is a British musician, best known today for his solo work in the mid-1970s as an "arena rocker". He originally became famous, however, as a member of The Herd and became a teen idol in Britain. He then worked with Steve Marriott (of the Small Faces) in Humble Pie, as well as on albums by Harry Nilsson, Jerry Lee Lewis, and George Harrison. His solo debut was 1972's Wind of Change. He gained international fame in 1976 when his much-loved live album, Frampton Comes Alive! was released.

It's A Plain Shame Lyrics

Peter Frampton

She showed her navel
She wore the label
She wore it
Thigh-high

Old-time sticky lipstick
Knockin' at my door
I just turn up the
Hi-fi

Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
(So long to love)
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

She'd like to taste me
She'd like to waste me
She'd like to see me
Sky-high

New York to Boston
Same in Houston
I just say
Bye-bye

Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

(instrumental)

She said, "I know it's late to
But I'd really like to play tunes
On your
Guitar"

"Let's get arrested
Want to be molested
Who cares how old
You are?"

Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Yes, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn

Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
Well, it's a plain shame
It took me all this time to learn
Well, it's a plain shame
No matter which way you turn
