Billy Bragg - Mother Of The Bride Lyrics
The reverend mother went and got me a drinkShe came back and said to me well what do you think?I said Ive made myself a foolFor the prettiest girl in schoolHow can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?I tell it to the mother of the brideI put on my suit and smile for the big dayBut I couldnt watch as her dad gave her awayAnd as they solemnly said youll doHer mother said that should have been youAt the mercy of the moonThe boy who spoke too soonShe married him and destroyed all my hopesOf a two-up, two-down, two point fiveAnd a dish on the roofFor the soapsI saw them at the hardware storeHe looked boring she looked boredIts nice to know that someone was on my sideBest wishes to the mother of the bride
