Verse1 The bride cried as the groom replied: 'I do too!' 'OK so far' smiled the Registrar, 'But wait your turn love, will you?' Two lilac bridesmaids, fat and thin, one dark and one fair, In the style of so-called Civil weddings everywhere. La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll Verse2 She looked up from her book and seemed to lip-read what I'd said, Though how she could even see me through that cloud of red. I dropped my eyes and they rolled to red shoes, one heel on the floor; My senses woke to perfume, and the feeling that I'd been here before. La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll I stepped through the french windows for some space and fresh air, (Behind me the music played too loudly, no-one seemed to hear), Into a courtyard of block black shadows where I hoped to find That red-haired girl I'd sat behind. La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll Distracted by scrubbed, chasing children in squeaky, stomping shoes, And the video/photographer telling everyone what film he used; Then glass in hand, tie undone and jacket on a chair I looked back in through the window, and we saw each other standing there. La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll She was leaning on the bar, and as I walked into the room Raised a glass, fixed my eyes, said: 'A toast to me and you.' And with a gesture and a wink she said: 'I'll see you in the video.' Like she'd been and seen the future, that I would get to know - Now let it roll... La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll It was almost perfect when I met you At your sister's wedding in nineteen ninety three La la la, la la la, la la let it roll La la la, la la la, la la let it roll ( to fade) |
