fairfield parlour – emily lyrics
[verse 1]
emily brought confetti
that shed made herself by cutting up
pictures of wedding dresses
and close ups of marlon brando
[verse 2]
emily wore her best suit
and everyone stared and said
“my, you look cute!” but she didn’t
though her smile was beautiful
[verse 3]
emily sang the loudest
she was way out of tune
and her hands were trembling
but the hymns too her back
to her childhood
[verse 4]
emily kissed the bridegroom
then she blushed to her toes and said
“everyone knows i’m a silly”
then she played cats with her fingers
[verse 5]
emily drank the champagne
she had a smoke the first in forty years
her eyes filled with tears
everyone tried to look away
[verse 6]
emily heard the music
she tried to dance but fell on her face
in the middle of the floor
and all the children yelled for more
[verse 7]
emily lay like silence
where they placed her with the beer
and the ashtrays and peanuts
but they knew she wouldn’t move
[verse 8]
emily’s in the picture
and everyone says
“what a shame she’s dead
oh! but wasn’t it fun?
we must try to do it again”
[verse 9]
emily brought confetti
that shed made herself by cutting up
pictures of wedding dresses
and close ups of marlon brando
