Mother Of The Bride — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

The Reverend Mother went and got me a drink
She came back and said to me Well what do you think?
I said I`ve made myself a fool
For the naughtiest girl in school

How can I deal with this hurt I feel inside?
I tell it to the mother of the bride

I put on my suit and smile for the big day
But I couldn`t watch as her dad gave her away
And as the solemnly said You`ll do
Her mother said That should have been you

At the mercy of the moon
The boy who spoke too soon

She married him and destroyed all my hopes
Of a two-up
two-down
two point five and a dish on the roof
For the soaps
I saw them at the hardware store
He looked boring and she looked bored

It`s nice to know that someone was on my side
Best wishes to the mother of the bride
