A Decent Excuse Songtext
von My Pleasure

Got your invite
At the weekend
Don′t want to go
Don't want to offend

Should I reply
Claim ignorance
Pretend someone died
Or just tell the truth
I was looking for a decent excuse
Looking for a decent excuse

We could fake the illness
Of a loved one
But they know us too well
That′s the problem


I seek your advice
A solution
Hide the evidence
Erase the proof
I was looking for a decent excuse
Looking for a decent excuse

Booked the tickets
Without asking us first
Demanding cash
This is the worst
I wouldn't go
If you paid me
I value my time
I'm not a recluse
I was looking for a decent excuse
Looking for a decent excuse

I don′t want to see
Your band perform
I don′t want to hear
Your poetry
I just want to sit
Alone in a room
With the lights off
Silently

I was...


I will tell them
I've double booked
My diary′s full
But I haven't looked
My schedule′s clear
I've got nothing on
I′m terrified
They'll see through the ruse
I was looking for a decent excuse
Looking for a decent excuse
Looking for a decent excuse
