I'm Sorry for Saying I'm Sorry

When I was nine years old I was singing and broke the Polish lamp

Thought maybe I should just run away

They'd never have to say 'Christ he could have been better than this.'

They'd never have to see my awful rotten face again

But someone caught me as I was heading for the door

And soon I was tangled in their arms

The shame shame

Shame shame shame

Shine everyday

Shine everyday

Shine everyday

There's no hope when you're dancing in a steady wind

I've crunched more toes than I can count

And just when you think that you might have crossed the worst of it

And just when you can't possibly do yourself in again

You're caught a bad way

You're feeling stupid and small

Or you're only feeling human again

Fuck break then mend away

Shine everyday
