Blood Wedding by Oysterband

"Do you take this woman?" I said, "Yes, I do
I love her like crazy and I think she loves me too
But we'll do without the family, if it's all the same to you"
Happy ever after...

Your mother is a flake: my father's full of shite
Your sister says you married me in white just for spite
Well a party's not a party `til it ends up in a fight
Happy ever after...

(chorus)
There was my lot, your lot, and us two in between
Please, God, this is the last time I get married
Please, God, this is the last time I get married

My brother's never short of any substance to abuse
There's rum and glue and Thunderbird and wizz and Special Brew
And any minute, now he'll show us ALL of his tattoos
Happy ever after...

The nephews are obnoxious; the nieces are too tall
There's a dozen drunken uncles pissing up against the wall
And Granddad is still grinning, but there's no one home at all
Happy ever after...

(chorus)

(bridge)
For richer or poorer, for better or for worse
Now we are married: a blessing or a curse
Kiss me and don't forget
What you see is what you get

(break)

And the best man is the worst man; the best man is a beast
He's underneath the table with the sister of the priest
And the way he's going at it, she is probably deceased
Happy ever after...

Granny's on the brandy and getting bleary-eyed
One of your old boyfriends wants to talk to me outside
Now someone's pulled the bridesmaid; has anyone seen the bride?
Happy ever after...

(chorus)

la da da da da....
