Thirsty Dog

Nick Cave and the bad seeds

I know you've heard it all before
 But I'm sorry for this three year war
 For the setting up of camps
 and wire and trenches
 I'm sorry for the other night
 I know sorry it don't make it right
 I'm sorry for things I can't even mention

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

You keep nailing me back into my box
 I'm sorry I keep popping back up
 With my crazy mouth
 and jangling jester's cap
 I'm sorry I ever wrote that book
 I'm sorry for the way I look
 But there ain't a lot that
 I can do about that



I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry about the hospital
 Some things are unforgivable
 That things simply cannot be forgiven
 I was not equipped to know how to care
 And on the occassions I came up for air
 I saw my life and wondered
 what the hell I had been living

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry about all your friends
 I hope they'll speak to me again
 I said before I'd pay for all the damages
 I'm sorry it's just rotten luck
 I'm sorry I've forgotten how to f*ck
 It's just that I think my heart
 and soul are kind of famished

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

Forgive me, baby but don't worry
 Love is always having to
 say you're sorry
 And I am, from my head
 down to my shoes
 I'm sorry that I'm always pissed
 I'm sorry that I exist
 And when I look into your eyes
 I can see you're sorry too

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm sitting feeling sorry in the Thirsty Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very thirsty in the Sorry Dog
 I'm sorry, sorry, sorry
 I'm feeling very sorry in the Thirsty Dog
