THE DAY I MARRIED YOUR MUM!

'we'll give you everything and more,'

 

JOY DIVISION - New Dawn Fades (1979)

THE DAY I MARRIED YOUR MUM

Your mum was back in Nice
the year was 1974

you were just a couple of months old

I came back from the pub

I phoned
during the call I stumbled out 

'I will marry you, if you want'

(who says romance is dead)

The phone went silent

my friend later phoned to congratulate your mum

she did say yes?

didn't she?

Everything happened very fast after that

a date was set in July, in Nice

I was broke, nowhere to stay

I would shortly be married with a son

oh! well!

we did not have rings

her mother gave us some old gold
 we got it melted down

 enough for 2 chain linked rings

almost romantic

The evening before my friend and a cousin of your mum

took me out for a pub crawl
supposedly a stag night

I lost them

I found them
 they were asleep on the beach

I was sober
 they were drunk

There was no one from my side at the wedding

it took place at the Town Hall

we all sat outside a big door

it was like a bus station

we were summoned

we sat in a room

a large guy wearing a chain came in

it was the Le Maire
we all stood up

we all sat down

he mumbled in French 

I did not understand
we both stood up

your mum said oui!

I was nudged

I  said oui!

 we signed a bit of paper

 were given a medal

 the next thing we were outside on the pavement

It took about a minute and a half

now thats what I call a Wedding
'lets go for a drink'

it was a unanimous decision

The reception was back at your grandma's house

two days later I was in the U.K

alone

I had to find somewhere to stay

for my family
fast

on the wings of a falcon

Hope you like the choice of song, I just could not resist it. Oh! you are naughty Old Pa!.
