nick lowe – i knew the bride lyrics
well the bride looked a picture
in the gown that her mama wore
when she was married herself
nearly 27 years before
they had to change the style a little
but it looked just fine
stayed up all night
but they got it finished just in time
now on the arm of her daddy
she’s walkin’ down the aisle
i see her catch my eye
and give me a secret smile
maybe it’s too old fashioned
but we once were close friends
oh but the way that she looks today
she never could’ve then
well i can see her now
in her tight blue jeans
pumpin all her money
in the record machine
spinnin’ like a top
you should have seen her go
[chorus:]
i knew the bride
when she used to rock’n’roll
i knew the bride
when she used to rock’n’roll
i knew the bride
when she used to rock’n’roll
i knew the bride
when she used to rock’n’roll
well her proud daddy
only wanna give his little girl the best
an so he ut down a grand
on a cosy ittle lover’s nest
you could have called her reception
an unqualified success
at a flash hotel
for a 150 guests
well take a look at the bridegroom
smillin’ pieased as pie
shakin’ hands all around
with a gl-ssy look in his eye
he got a real good job
an his shirt and tie is nice
but i remember a time
when she never would’ve looked
at him twice
well i can see her now
drinkin’ with the boys
breakin’ their hearts
like they were toys
she used to do the pony
used to do the stroll
[chorus]
well i can see her now
with her walkman on
jumpin’ up and down
to her favorite song
i still remember when she used to
want to make a lot of noise
hoppin’ and a boppin’
with the street corner boys
she used to want to party
used to want to go
