Van Der Graaf Generator - (Oh No! I Must Have Said) Yes Songtexte

I don't want to talk about the old days any more,
I've set aside all the unsettled scores
but nonetheless the past still casts a shadow on me.

I could walk away without a second glance,
the way things panned out down to random chance
but nonetheless the logic's far beyond me.
Oh no! l guess I must have said yes.
Oh no, I must have said yes.

So now I find I'm in a parlous place,
repenting at leisure for what I did in haste,
all my past promises are catching up on me.

Oh no, l guess I must have said yes.
although I'm inclined to digress
l know I must have said yes.

And if blame's attached to anybody
It'll be me,
I'm the one who said that I agree.
I apologise to everybody,
what else can I do?
Now I'll do my best to see it through,
I've got no other option.
No excuses, no stewing in my juices,
denial is useless, holy cow,
with precision my everyday decisions
have led me to be in the here and now.

I'll be right here and now for what it's worth
hoist on my own petard as I am
but let's not talk about the old days

except to say the consequences run,
to be plain, what's over isn't done
and you thought you were only having fun.

Oh no, I guess I must have said yes
although I was under duress
I know I must have said yes

Though I don't know quite what happened to me,
how the story went,
somewhere on the way I gave consent.
