More Excuses - Bibio

How was I supposed to hold?

You didn’t tell me they’d dissolve

I didn’t feel them in my hand

And now they’re dripping on the sand

Why did I forget to buy?

Nobody told me where to try

I didn’t think to look behind

And now they’re closing all the blinds

Why d’ya laugh when I react?

You didn’t teach me how to act

I just forgot to check the time

And watch your living pantomime

How was I supposed to choose?

You never warned me of the queues

I never thought to leave the room

And now I’m trying to resume

How was I to know my stance?

I didn’t meet your acquaintance

Or even see the evidence

And now I’m sitting on the fence

How am I supposed to play?

You could’ve told me on the day

I didn’t notice all the flowers

And now I’m lost with what to say
