| 歌曲 | Apology in Advance |
| 歌手 | Guided by Voices |
| 专辑 | Earthquake Glue |
| 作词 : Pollard | |
| I apologize in advance | |
| For the jigsaw's missing teeth | |
| For the animals in their holes, at least | |
| There is argument in your eyes | |
| So I'm loosening all my ties | |
| The ones that you have come to despise | |
| Throw the heat off | |
| Bite me when I eat off | |
| Someone else's plate | |
| It is now I should attempt | |
| Perhaps to think and wait | |
| Result to contemplate a fate | |
| That's waited this long for me | |
| And the night's too bright | |
| To hide from sight | |
| So I better get things right | |
| I keep searching, turning on, equally frustrated | |
| Hopelessness and sickness always, kick you up a storm | |
| A disabled vet, well, I'm not there yet | |
| Been around the block, I even threw up one street over | |
| Absorbed in the holding cell, all blemishes exposed | |
| With the plastic hand of man I can | |
| Stepping up, I go limp at the sound of women laughing | |
| Leaving me to speculate the odds of one last chance | |
| To apologize in advance | |
| I apologize in advance |
