So Sorry I Said
Pet Shop Boys
Originally discarded from the "Introspective" album recording sessions (Parlophone/EMI 1989) this song was offered to LIZA MINELLI for her album "Results" (Epic 1989). Later PSB included it as part of their Performance World Tour in 1991 INTRO: x 2 (VERSE 1) If this is a ghetto I’m in it with you If it’s just a prison I’m locked in it too I tried to leave you but after all that we had said I went to pieces when I should have shouted and screamed instead. So sorry I said (SAME AS VERSE 1) Your powers of persuasion those quizzical eyes Have tired and tied me with innocent guile. I would have walked out and after all the tears we shed I should have stalked out gone and painted the town bright red But instead So sorry I said (BRIDGE) How tough it gets don’t talk to me about it! To pay off your debts I worked on overtime And you say you never believed in luck! (VERSE 3) If you need a reason consider me mad An old retainer loyal and sad I bought my freedom but after all that we had shared I couldn’t leave you. Think of the skins I’d have to shed ins-tead So sorry I said So Sorry I said Oooh! So sorry I said
