Shakespear's Sister - My 16th Apology Lyrics






Things were going pretty well 'till I died
On that summer afternoon
When you broke down before my eyes
Well I got a streak of meaness
A clumsy way of speaking
And I don't know where I get it from
It must run in my family

Do I have to go down on my knees?
This is my 16th apology to you
With friends like me who needs enemies

I got a river the size of my rage
Which is really something else
When you think of my tender age
Well I got a way about me
But it's hard for me to see it
And I don't know when I'm wrong
Why am I so hard to please?

Do I have to go down on my knees?
This is my 16th apology to you
With friends like me who needs enemies

The things I said about you
Were all said yesterday
I didn't mean to hurt you
Maybe we could work it out someday

Do I have to go down on my knees?
This is my 16th apology to you
With friends like me who needs enemies

    Lovel this video, it's magnificent to see them together. I know they have an awkward history and the candle that burns brightest dies soonest.

  2. j.... R....

    My kind of crazy.

    Now that Siobhan and Marcella have finally got back together again, the lines in this song are especially fitting:

    “The things I said about you
    Were all said yesterday.
    I didn't mean to hurt you.
    Maybe we could work it out someday”.

    After 26 years they finally did that!

    oh well, i'll see you in the next life

    p.... d....

    Round and round we go!

    "didn't your Mother ever tell you? 'To err is human to forgive is divine'"

    I love it. Siobhan is the best.

  8. S.... H....

    I so love this track still. My fave from this album 🙏🏼❤️🌹

    Sounds like something George Harrison would write and Marc Bolan & George would sing. I like.

    Fantastic job Sophie Muller, this video  is totally perfect for this song. I  am really loving this song right now and all of these beautiful images of Siobhan and Marcella make this a real work of art.  Shakespears  Sister, you ladies were fantastic!!!

    90s classic

    Sophie Muller did an excellent job putting this together from clips of other videos. She's absolutely my favourite director, and I can see why she and Siobhan are such good friends. :)

    Yes, considering what she had in hand to work with she did a fantastic job. Usually, collages like this are not interesting to watch, but Sophie Muller never disappoints. (Also notice how she uses outtakes too)
