Welcome To Your Wedding

about

If you've ever been to a wedding and wondered what the band were thinking.

lyrics

Welcome to your wedding, we're so happy to be here
a point or two on which we'd like you to be absolutely clear
though it's a special day for you, for us I think it's number eight hundred and two

now if you read the small print in the contract that you've got
you'll find a list of what we'll play and also one of what we'll not
and you'll find 'Wonderful Tonight', Dave Dobbyn's 'Loyal' and 'The Gambler' right on top

We're much too loud for Aunty mabel so you've sat her right up front, of course
she's bound to be offended at my lyrical discourse
if 'I Can't get no satisfaction' brings her palpitations back
then 'your body is a wonderland
may well induce a fatal heart attack

so welcome to your wedding , it's the nicest that we've done, of course
your friends are so sophisticated, gosh I liked the one
the best man told about the bridegroom and the blow-up doll he really looks like fun

and all these splendid folk on whom you lavish hospitality
consume your chardonnay from Cloudy Bay, your pate from paris
but for all that they'll appreciate it may as well be catfood and DB

and if your hairy teenage nephew helps himself to my guitar
you'll hear a loud explosion, see the lights do dim behind the bar
and in the contract you will notice we're indemnified for claims regarding
injuries arising from my wiring it directly to the mains

so welcome to your wedding I was reading in the news
two out of three of course ends in divorce before the year is through
so have a lovely wedding day, oh I forgot to ask you when do we get paid?
