richard thompson - nobody's wedding (live) lyrics
[verse 1]
everybody came to n0body’s wedding
everybody knew it was bound to be a hoot
what can you do when nothing else is cooking?
you make your own amus+m+nt, you bring a pile of loot
[chorus]
there was alice the butcher, tidy and gunn
we couldn’t see where they was headin’
it was sixteen days and sixteen nights
and it weren’t even n0body’s weddin’
[verse 2]
“what a great reception,” all the people cried
“who stole the groom? who stole the bride?
how did the countess slidе underneath the floor, door?
and why is thе wild boy chopping up the floor?”
[chorus]
there was alice the butcher, tidy and gunn
we couldn’t see where they was headin’
with sixteen days and sixteen nights
and it weren’t even n0body’s weddin’
[guitar solo]
[verse 3]
i didn’t hear the sound of the tin cans rattle
i didn’t hear a tear drop, i didn’t hear a prattle
i didn’t hear the words of the bible being read
when it’s n0body’s wedding, n0body’s wed
[chorus]
there was alice the butcher, tidy and gunn
we couldn’t see where they was headin’
with sixteen days and sixteen nights
and it weren’t even n0body’s weddin’
it was alice the butcher, tidy and gunn
we couldn’t see where they was headin’
with sixteen days and sixteen nights
and it weren’t even n0body’s weddin’
[guitar solo]
