Sorry Lyrics by The Colourfield

Virgins and Philistines

1985

I've done all the wrong things
I said all the wrong words
I was travelling to nowhere when I fell off the rails
I reached a new height on the sympathy scale
My head was full of you and your ridiculous beliefs
I kind of put my foot in it and you were underneath

So I'll say sorry
I hope it will do
But words to that effect
Have no effect on you
So I'll say sorry
I hope it will do

When the truths became lies
We said our goodbyes
You were suddenly aware of
All the things that you've missed
You were searching for something
That doesn't exist
You can talk about permissiveness and wanting to be free
Well that sounds really nice
But can't you spare a thought for me?
'Cause all these words inside
Can't hide this feeling of betrayal
And the only thing I've got to give is this apology

So I'll say sorry
I hope it will do
But words to that effect
Have no effect on you
So I'll say sorry
I hope it will do

Who can you blame
(When the damage is done)?
Nothing has changed
(We're back at square one)
And pretending to be having
The time of our lives
We're nothing much more
Than ex husbands and wives
We're trying to turn the clocks back
To find the missing piece
But every time we smile
We always smile through gritted teeth
I watched my head rule my heart
Then my head fell to bits
But I made my own bed
And now I'm lying in it

And saying sorry
I hope it will do
But words to that effect
Have no effect on you
So saying sorry
Will never do
