"Such a Shame" is a song written by Mark Hollis for the English band Talk Talk's second album "It's My Life" (1984).

Talk Talk version

It was released as the album's second single in 1984 (see 1984 in music), and became a big hit in continental Europe in 1984/85, reaching the Top 10 in numerous countries, and becoming a number one in certain territories (their second number one single after the remixed version of their song "Talk Talk" which topped the South African charts in 1983); but strangely this single was largely ignored in the UK. In the US, the song entered the Billboard Hot 100, and was a Top 20 hit in the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play.

The song was also released in 2004.
