Divine Comedy, The - Edward The Confessor Lyrics
I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
For knowing that I'm wrong but insisting I'm right
For wanting everything to be either black or white
For wallowing in self-pity, confessing all my sins
For all the things I've said but regret so much now
For all the things I should have said but I couldn't somehow
For all the times I've meant them
And I've known them for so long
But I still get endings wrong
I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
For trying to be all things to all men
For looking for perfection in everything I do
When really I need only look as far as you
For demanding to be loved by someone who
Then dispatching quietly over a pint of beer
Well yeah, I did it without malice
And I did it without shame
But I did it just the same
I'm so sorry
Please forgive me
For coming home from work in the middle of the night
For waking you up with the bathroom light
For wanting to touch you with these cold cold hands
For wanting to have you just because I can
For always running from an argument
When I ought to stand and fight
For suppressing my emotions
'Cause I'm too goddamn polite
And then for thinking that by simply saying sorry
I could suddenly make everything all right
I'm so sorry please forgive me...
I'm so sorry please forgive me...

Divine Comedy, The Edward The Confessor Comments
My new favourite song.
Semplicemente Meraviglioso
Alucinante canción de este gran artista, ya me queda menos para verlo por Sevilla.
No one on here has had the balls to cover this song. One of the best testaments to Neil's craft as a songwriter.
right but that's just how some people are, especially the English
I'm trying to finish this Orwell book about them and it's just hard as hell, and that's despite the fact that really just about 100 or so pages long
anyway great "I'm sorry song" actually it's the best I know
What album is this from?
who is edward the confessor ?
One of the best songs ever written/recorded. Full stop.
I really think Neil could be a lot more generous and give us all a go to be honest.
WAHAHAHAHAHAHA I had to log into my account just to comment on this! Genius.
~does hooked fingers and screws up face~
he is the total epitomy of everything I've ever wanted in a man! and I must agree with 'Thereisonlythemoment' .... he must have a female brain and a male body !! :D <3
Getting out a guitar and singing this song for her actually saved my relationship.
Thank you so much neil!
I have something in my eye 😢. I wish I had
Oh, how Neil so effortlessly delves into the male psyche and sums up what all men wants to say and strives to be in just a song.
i think this song is about me
you must be a normative psychologist
Beautiful lyrics!
This man is pure genious in everything he does!
i dont really like him singing it. way too ominous.
Every band has a great song that for some reason never made it onto an album. This is Neil Hannon's.
It must be hard for him having to pick album tracks, since they're all amazing
Is this a different version to the original b-side (or Japanese album track)?
This is yet another of the wonderful Regeneration B-sides that are much better than about half the album tracks... I mean, "Born With A Broken Heart" was on a disc given away with The Independent!
One of the best Divine Comedy songs I've heard, and a new favourite - this is really not on any of the albums? What were they thinking?!
Such a simple song, and yet such profound lyrics. I have a feeling they weren't written overnight or on a napkin at the pub.
This song is top draw. Shame it never made any of the albums.
je suis d'accord avec toi, c'est vraiment une des plus magnifiques chansons de Neil ! Dans le top 3 je pense :) merci :)
