''Scuse me, I apologize
she's got vacum cleaner eyes
suck you in
she's got magazines, filled with pear pies'
Perhpas this song is about a lonely housewife whose husband does not respect her,
'he spends the afternoon, between your thighs
how's that for gratitude'
But likes her 'attitude' because she stays in all day reading cookery magazines and vaccuming. 'Blouse' strikes me as a very 1950s word, and the entire song smacks somewhat of "white picket fence"
stereotyped perfection.
The 'electronic haze' and 'seemed to last for hours, seemed to last for days' could either be referring to drudgery and monotony of her life, or could be a reference to some sort of anti-depressant drug.
The repetition of 'I apologize' makes it sound as though somebody is telling her she could do more with her life, and trying not to offend her. This song could be an attack on stereottypes within society and how we should not allow ourselves to fall into them or judge other people in this way.
These refernces sound very domestic,
''Scuse me, I apologize she's got vacum cleaner eyes suck you in she's got magazines, filled with pear pies'
