No More Sorry Lyrics
They'll have you now
And again
And then again
And again
Loved me black and blue
No more sorry
Flesh and bone
Not alone
You're not alone
Waiting by the telephone
Whatever you do
Don't call daddy
In my hair
Everywhere
Everywhere
And everywhere
Fingerprints of you
Filthy daddy
Wash and mend
And wash and mend
Some kind of friend
Your septic heart and deadly hand
Loved me black and blue
No more sorry
And again
And then again
And again
Loved me black and blue
No more sorry
Not alone
You're not alone
Waiting by the telephone
Whatever you do
Don't call daddy
Everywhere
Everywhere
And everywhere
Fingerprints of you
Filthy daddy
And wash and mend
Some kind of friend
Your septic heart and deadly hand
Loved me black and blue
No more sorry

Bilinda told in an interview that this songs it's actually about the father of her son, Toby.
Here's the quotation of the interview:
"Ever since Isn’t Anything I had panic attacks. Toby’s dad treated me really bad, which I’ve told about in No More Sorry. All of a sudden he wanted joint custody and I was frightened. The hypnotic therapy made things from my childhood resurface which explained why I had been living with such a man. I was a nervous wreck and I realised that a lot that happened when I was a kid shouldn’t have happened. A lot of it came out in my lyrics. A lot of discomfort."

She had a really tough life :(
I think we could all agree this is the single darkest MBV song, musically and lyrically.
It's spooky and addictive. I also think it's about abuse...
I think it's about incest with a sibling ("don't tell daddy"). Like squaresun said, this is a great song but it makes me nauseous.
Jesus, it's 'filthy dirty' not 'filthy daddy'. That's atrocious. she's so much better than that. Listen to the song slowed down. Listent to it sped up. It's 'filthy dirty.' Could it be any more plain, even at regular speed. Please correct it.
Well, this song is either about an abusive parent/spouse/significant other/something like that or! Its somehow related to rape o.O either way, good song...
this song just gives me chills. mostly due to the very dark meaning of this song. the song is about someone in a abusive relationship. from the point of view of the abused person, they try to hide it. the most scary part is that the person accepts it. it's just a very dark song.
This is really wierd and really dark for MBV Really good song though.
I take this as being from the perspective of a daughter whose father (violently?) sexually abuses her. I think the line might be "in my hair" rather than "in my head"...maybe the "fingerprints of you"=semen? I picture a girl in the shower obsessively washing herself afterwards, as well as "washing and mending" psychologically.
The most unsettling line is "loved me black and blue". Really captures the queasy nastiness of incest, if that's what it's about, where the child's emotional desire for affection is responded to with sexual lust and violence and degradation.
This is a fantastic song, but I can't listen to it much. The way I've interpreted it, it makes me genuinely unsettled. The blurry, stomach-churning music itself fits very well with the apparent subject matter. brr.
