"Such a shame to believe in escape
A life on every face
And that's a change, till I'm finally left with an eight
Tell me to react, I just stare
Maybe I don't know if I should change
A feeling that we share...
It's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me with rage, it's a shame
(Such a shame)
Number me in haste, it's a shame
This eagerness to change
It's a shame..."

I'll add two more that I know, if that's okay with you. Please correct me if there are mistakes.

ne ... guère = hardly

Je n'ai guère compris! = I hardly understood (anything)!

ne ... aucun(e) = not ... any, no

The word "aucun(e)" must agree with the noun that it is describing. If it is describing a feminine noun, then you must include the "e." (i.e., Je n'ai acheté aucune pomme. = I did not buy any apples.)

Je n'ai acheté aucun billet.* = I did not buy any tickets.

*Unlike most negative constructions in compound tenses, the second part of the negative, "aucun(e)," does not follow the first conjugated verb. It instead goes after the second conjugated verb.
