Sorry Somehow Lyrics
Time heals, time goes on and time really flies
Time hurts and time can cut you, cut you down to size
There's no need to touch you now, no, I'm doing fine
Life too can cut you and I've cut you out of mine
You're making me
Sorry, sorry somehow
Sorry, sorry somehow
There's no need to talk to you, well to know what's on your mind
There's no need to see you either, no, I'm just being kind
You want me to beg forgiveness, tender an apology
It's not my fault and you're not getting one from me
Now I guess it's your decision now you decide
Take me to the cleaners baby, take me for a ride
Who ever cares for your affairs will sort it out for you
Send me a subpoena baby tell me what to do
I don't have to think about you, think about the past
Those days stand out in my mind and those days were the last
I know the time is coming and I'm waiting for the day
I'd give you everything in the world just to get it out of the way
You're making me
Sorry, sorry somehow
Sorry, sorry somehow
Time hurts and time can cut you, cut you down to size
There's no need to touch you now, no, I'm doing fine
Life too can cut you and I've cut you out of mine
Sorry, sorry somehow
Sorry, sorry somehow
There's no need to see you either, no, I'm just being kind
You want me to beg forgiveness, tender an apology
It's not my fault and you're not getting one from me
Take me to the cleaners baby, take me for a ride
Who ever cares for your affairs will sort it out for you
Send me a subpoena baby tell me what to do
Those days stand out in my mind and those days were the last
I know the time is coming and I'm waiting for the day
I'd give you everything in the world just to get it out of the way
Sorry, sorry somehow
Sorry, sorry somehow

My God I love Husker Du.
It's about a messy divorce. The third verse (take me to the cleaners, send me a subpoena) makes it pretty clear, as does the part about cutting the other person out of his life.
Until reading a recent Husker Du biography, I used to be skeptical of your interpretation because I thought Grant was gay. The biography mentions Grant kissing a female groupie and becoming a father - both VERY VERY briefly.

Grant isn't too happy in this one!
This song has a really interesting idea: that the persona is not actually feeling sorry from the break up but sorry from the harassment by his ex-lover - so sorry that he'd be willing to give anything except apologize.
Witty with a dose of bitterness and unrepentence!
