about

From 'Paradise: Lost' (1999)

A rare foray into 6/8 time and yet another song of the end of a relationship, with feelings of betrayal and being judged unfairly for one’s own role in the demise. Serially though not frequently dumped, have never been an initiator of endings and often didn’t see them coming. Always felt innocent, but the other side of the story would surely be different.

lyrics

INNOCENT

I didn't do it, I swear that it's true
For all my shortcomings, I'd never hurt you
The last thing I'd do

I didn't say it, though I said enough
I could've abused you, but I'm not that rough
I'm more off the cuff

I heard nothing, I saw nothing
I said nothing, I am innocent
I heard nothing, I saw nothing
I said nothing, I am innocent

I didn't hear it, if I had I'd say
Now I hear rumours, of your night-time play
My feet set in clay

I didn't even think it, my brain not in gear
Faithful, unblinking, for more than a year
Now I have paid dear

I heard nothing, I saw nothing
I said nothing, I am innocent
I heard nothing, I saw nothing
I said nothing, I am innocent
I heard nothing, I saw nothing
