“We Apologise for Nothing” is the second single to be taken from the second album “One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours” by Fightstar. It was released on 17 September 2007 on CD and two 7"s, and was accompanied by a music video.
Frontman Charlie Simpson has stated the meaning behind the song:
“This...
[Charlie Simpson]
Just rewrite these words upon my grave
And look down on everything we've lost
[Alex Westaway]
Loose lips sink ships and leaders
For this you need to lead us on
[Charlie Simpson]
For every drink that you put down on me
I've reread this stone a hundred times
Would you stand over these shadows
And embrace our history?
[Charlie Simpson & Alex Westaway]
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Heads will roll away from us but
We apologise for nothing
[Alex Westaway]
If I could gather strength a final time
And dream up a war to end all wars
[Charlie Simpson]
Grazed fist red mist of vengeance
I don't fear your movements anymore
[Alex Westaway]
We'll celebrate this change in turning tides
This revolution won't be televised
[Charlie Simpson]
Would you stand over these shadows
And embrace our history?
[Charlie Simpson & Alex Westaway]
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Heads will roll away from us but
We apologise for nothing
[Charlie Simpson]
"Cut me out of all of this"
"Cut me out of all of this" she said
"Just cut me out of all of this"
"Cut me out of all of this" she said
Would you stand over these shadows
And embrace our history?
[Charlie Simpson & Alex Westaway]
We apologise for nothing
Heads will roll away from us but
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
