The Marriage Lyrics by Billy Bragg

The Marriage Lyrics

    I understand you needing
    And wanting is no crime
    But i can't 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 don't 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 don't understnd it
    This tender trap we're in
    Those glossy catalogues of couples
    Are cashing in on happiness again and again

    So drag me to the altar
    And i'll 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
