Not that that helps much, but there must be some copies somewhere. Here's the Living Tradition (rave) review: "...Now we want the best of their TV spots compiled in an equally unforgettable video. Cosmotheka were true giants. I often consider that had they lived a century earlier, they would have bestrode the Music Hall stage like no others." Too right! |
06 Feb 07 - 02:46 AM (#1958671) Subject: Lyr Add: IT'S A PITY TO WASTE THE CAKE (Cosmotheka From: Tradsinger I went to church like a 2-year old To marry my Maud this morning Without a word of warning My hand the lass was scorning Fathers and mothers and uncles and aunts Were waiting to see us made one But she wrote me a note that she'd changed her mind So now the poor dog's got none Chorus 1 I must get married today, I must get married today What'll become of the wedding spread The easy chair and the feather bed Find me someone to marry or else My poor little heart will break Anything young in a skirt will do It's a pity to waste the cake We wandered outside to the nearest pub We wandered outside to the nearest pub For something with soda in it And I said 'don't dispirit' (?) I need a wife this minute How would your maiden aunt Mary Ann do Said Pa as he puffed his pipe She's come to a sensible ripe old age I said 'she's a bit too ripe.' (Chorus 2) But, I must get married today, What'll the neighbours say What will become of the wedding spread The easy chair and the feather bed Find me something to marry or else My poor little heart will break Even a man in a kilt will do It's a pity to waste the cake. Does any girl here want a husband please? This new wedding ring wants filling You'll find me kind and willing The suspense is really killing Come along Mary or Fanny or Flo I will is so easily said And we might find a parson to do the trick Before he goes off to bed. (Chorus 1 again) |
