The Marriage — текст песни (Billy Bragg)

I understand you needing

And wanting is no crime

But I cant help feeling

That you and your mother are just wasting your time



Choosing saturdays in summer

I dare you to wear white

Love is just a moment of giving

And marriage is when we admit our parents were right



I just dont understand it

What makes our love a sin

How can it make that difference

If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring



If I share my bed with you

Must I also share my life

Love is just a moment of giving

And marriage is when we admit our parents were right



You just dont understnd it

This tender trap were in

Those glossy catalogues of couples

Are cashing in on happiness again and again



So drag me to the altar

And Ill make my sacrifice

Love is just a moment of giving

And marriage is when we admit our parents were right

And marriage is when we admit our parents were probably right
