Lyrics:
Sorry [Version (a)]:
I've been hanging around again
Hang my head on the ground again
Turn my face to the wall
Turn my head to the wall
Nobody knows you when you're feeling sorry
Nobody needs you when you're feeling sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Used to be happy
Used to be laughing
Used to be happy
Ohh
I've been walking around again
Tongued tied over the town again
Stranded out in the hall
Thrown right over the wall
I've been hanging around again
Hang my head on the ground again
Turn my face to the wall
Turn my head to the wall
Nobody knows you when you're feeling sorry
Nobody needs you when you're feeling sorry
I'm sorry
I'm sorry
Used to be happy
Used to be laughing
Used to be happy
Ohh
I've been walking around again
Tongued tied over the town again
Stranded out in the hall
Thrown right over the wall
The Song:
Beck wrote "Sorry" for his Song Reader project. He has played it live a few times, but like the rest of the book (except one song), Beck has not recorded it. Presumably he did record private demos of the tracks though. On the official Song Reader cd, Laura Marling performs "Sorry."
"Sorry" is a simple song, and one of the more minimal ones on Song Reader. It reads to me like it came straight out of Beck's Sea Change world, a mostly-straightforward song of lonesomeness.
You can hear versions of the song here.
