Lyrics
Pardon
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
New digs and prospects of a job
New digs and prospects
Have I been half interested till now?
Breath and armpits stink
For Christs sake please stay sweet
The ever present threat of hands that want to sweat
My head aches and I m bursting for a piss
Why should I subject myself to this?
Pardon, sort of, oh
Pardon, yknow, oh
Pardon, urm, oh
Pardon, err, oh
My dreams will come true if I make the right impression
Hope it looks okay
I had it done today
Was that me who laughed?
Oh God I feel so daft
Think Ive got a new one on my nose
Don't I look a lemon in these clothes?
Pardon, sort of, oh
Pardon, yknow, oh
Pardon, urm, oh
Pardon, err, oh
Dear Jesus I doubt its up to me
Must not look like a prawn
Dear dandruff do not form
My stomachs heaving, chaps
Made me a proper prat
My headaches and I need to be excused
Tell the truth you don't seem to amused
Pardon, sort of, oh
Pardon, yknow, oh
Pardon, urm, oh
Pardon, err, oh
Pardon, sort of, oh
Pardon, yknow, oh
Pardon, urm, oh
Pardon, err, oh
Pardon, sort of, oh
Pardon, yknow, oh
Pardon, urm, oh
Pardon, err, oh
