Originally discarded from the "Introspective" album recording sessions (Parlophone/EMI 1989) this song was offered to LIZA MINELLI for her album "Results" (Epic 1989). Later PSB included it as part of their Performance World Tour in 1991 INTRO:         x 2 (VERSE 1)   If this is a ghetto    I’m in it with you   If it’s just a prison    I’m locked in it too    I tried to leave you    but after all that we had  said I went to pieces    when I should have shouted and screamed instead.   So sorry I said                   (SAME AS VERSE 1) Your powers of persuasion those quizzical eyes Have tired and tied me with innocent guile.     I would have walked out and after all the tears we shed I should have stalked out gone and painted the town bright red But instead So sorry I said                  (BRIDGE)   How tough it gets      don’t talk to me about it!   To pay off your debts    I worked on overtime   And you say you never believed in luck! (VERSE 3)   If you need a reason   consider me mad   An old retainer  loyal and sad       I bought my freedom    but after all  that we had shared I couldn’t leave you.   Think of the skins I’d have to shed ins-tead So sorry I said        So Sorry I said        Oooh!   So sorry I said

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque des sentiments de regret et de confusion dans une relation complexe. Le narrateur se sent pris au piège, comme s'il était enfermé, et réalise qu'il a eu du mal à exprimer ses véritables émotions. Malgré son désir de fuir, il se retrouve à céder à la manipulation émotionnelle de l'autre, regrettant de ne pas avoir agi avec plus de fermeté. Cette pièce a été initialement exclue des sessions d'enregistrement d'un album emblématique, mais a été revisitée plus tard lors d'une tournée importante, apportant un nouveau souffle à des thèmes d'attachement et de lâcher-prise. Le contraste entre le désir de liberté et l'attachement persistant est au cœur de son message.
