about

Want a distraction from the daily grind of Austerity Britain? Oh look! A royal wedding!

lyrics

She was pregnant with her first when she walked up the aisle
If you could call that waddle style
While the registrar just smiled

He was fit and handsome and he had a steady job
Not long left the mob
The happy couple for a little while

Her mum’s for a bit then some luck on a council flat
A bit of this and a bit of that
Getting by and getting fat

At the weekend he painted the nursery
Rows about the colour scheme
The occasional bad dream

Now the kids have had their Royal Wedding tea
Bunting left over from the jubilee
It’s back to reality

A royal wedding or the final of the FA cup
He’s really couldn’t give a fuck
Never had that kinda luck

A million-pound player or a million-pound wedding dress
He really couldn’t care less
It’s a million times more than he’ll possess

Now the kids have had their Royal Wedding tea
Bunting left over from the jubilee
It’s back to reality

But didn’t she look lovely in that dress?
A world away but nonetheless
A fairy-tale princess

She doesn’t wave a flag but tunes in anyway
The TV covers the special day
Like no other Saturday

Now the kids have had their Royal Wedding tea
Bunting left over from the jubilee
It’s back to reality

The prince and the commoner will never stress about bills
The NHS when they get ill
From their castle on the hill

No homeless here, a patriotic queue instead
The nations favourite newlyweds
Painting the roses red

Now the kids have had their Royal Wedding tea
Bunting left over from the jubilee
It’s back to reality

No homeless here, a patriotic queue instead
The nations favourite newlyweds
Painting the roses red

Now the kids have had their Royal Wedding tea
Bunting left over from the jubilee
It’s back to reality
