About We Apologise For Nothing

"We Apologise for Nothing" is the second single to be taken from the second album One Day Son, This Will All Be Yours, by Fightstar. It was released on 17 September 2007 on CD and two 7"s, and was accompanied by a music video. Frontman Charlie Simpson has stated the meaning behind the song: "This song is about standing up for what you believe in without compromise. Whether it be in public protest or behind closed doors the best way to achieve your goals is to stand up and relentlessly fight for them. " He also stated the reason for the choice of covering The Cure's "In Between Days" for the single release: "The reason for choosing The Cure's "In Between Days" is that they have been a huge influence on me from a very young age and I thought that this would be a great opportunity to pay tribute to them by covering one of my favourite songs of theirs. The Cure are one of the most influential bands of our time and the song I chose to cover – 'In Between Days' - is one of my favourites."

Re-write these words upon my grave
And look down on everything we've loved
Loose lips sink ships and leaders
For this you need to lead us all.

For every change that you've put down on me
I've re-read this stone a hundred times.

Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?

We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing.

If I could gather strength a final time
And dream up a war to end all wars
Race lists and mist of vengeance
I don't fear your movements anymore.

Lets celebrate this change in turning tides
This revolution won't be televised.

Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?

We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing.

Cut me out of all of this
Cut me out of all of this you say
Just cut me out of all of this
Cut me out of all of this you say.

Would you stand over these shadows and embrace our history?

We apologise for nothing
Take the world away from us but
We apologise for nothing
We apologise for nothing.

Floods Lyrics
You can't all pretend
That you don't know enough
Enough to make sense
All this will be gone
And you can sink beneath
The rapture we've spawned

What have we become

You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this

Blood will bleed the blind
When the only thing diseased their lives
Let not the sun their lives
On the wrath of this inconvenient truth

What have we become

You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this

Just smile like the idiots you are

You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the floods seem still
You know we don't have all the entire world
To make the most of this
