lyrics

(no apology)

She has taken the same four weeks for forty years
She does not explain it and she does not ask
She just stops, in August, like a shop with a sign
And I thought it was laziness until day nine

Four weeks, no apology (no apology)
That's the whole practice, no apology
Not earned, not justified, no apology
No apology

No apology, no apology, no apology
She has never once said sorry for sitting down
No apology, no apology, no apology
And I have apologised for resting all my life

I asked her how she does it without feeling guilty.
She looked at me like I had asked her how to breathe.
She said "guilty about what." And went back to her fruit.
(percussion returns, bouncing)

No apology, no apology, no apology
She has never once said sorry for sitting down
No apology, no apology, no apology
And I have apologised for resting all my life

(guilty about what...)
