Eeh dah eeh dah
Ooooh, ooooh, ooooh
Scandal - now you've left me all the world's gonna know
Hey scandal, they're gonna turn our lives into a freak show
They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break
They'll hear me pleading, we'll say for God's sakes
Over and over and over again
Scandal - now you've left me there's no healing the wounds
Hey scandal, and all the world can make us out to be fools
Here come the bad news, open the floodgates (oooh oooh)
They'll leave us bleeding, we say you cheapskates
(Oooh oooh)
Over and over and over again
So let them know when they stare, it's just a private affair
They'll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care
It's only a life to be twisted and broken
They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break - yeah
They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for God's sakes
Over and over and over and over again - yeah

Scandal, scandal
Scandal, scandal

Yes you're breaking my heart again
Scandal - yes it'll all and all happen again
Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times
And no-one ever really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end the story deeper must hide (oooh)
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside
Scandal, scandal
Scandal, scandal

    General Comment:Great song and an incredibly underrated number from their catalogue. It's nice to see the comments on the deep feel behind the lyrics. I especially love the set they used for the video. You could watch it endlessly. Pure brilliance!

    General Comment:this song is awesome and freddie really puts his all into it. On the Greatest video hits II commentary Roger states that he doesn't like this song and I think Brian does like it he just didn't want to disagree with Roger. Roger also stated he doesn't like The Miracle which I think is kind of strange because Scandal and The Miracle are great songs.
