Sorry And Thanks
Words by Simon Neil
Gave birth through the barrel of a gun
Just like my father’s son
Felt like it was yesterday
Made my heart stop
Gave birth and expected everyone
to make out and have some fun
I still wish there were dinosaurs
Pterodactyls and…
You wanted to waste it all
I want everything at once
Let’s meet in the middle ground
Hold on to your gratitude
Everyone in the world is here
Let’s meet in the middle ground
If we can then we will.
Sorry and thanks for a different dream.
If we can then we will.
We’ll dance and laugh to a different beat.
Slit wrists and staple every thumb
To my committed tongue
Build a wall and get over it
I will lay you down
Gave birth through the barrel of a gun
Just like my father’s son
Felt like it was yesterday
Made my heart stop
Stayed gold and infected everyone
with huge amounts of love

You wanted to waste it all
I want everything at once
Let’s meet in the middle ground
Hold on to your gratitude
Everyone in the world is here
Let’s meet in the middle ground
If we can then we will.
Sorry and thanks for a different dream.
If we can then we will.
We’ll dance and laugh to a different beat.
Lay your eyes on the very next dream
Crave it all with a pitiful streak
Block it out the honour and the grief
Tonight we’ll have a reason to breathe
If we can then we will.
Sorry and thanks for a different dream.
