Nothing Painted Blue - Another Child Bride lyrics

It's easy to agree with the man in the mitre When you haven't got a daughter with another one inside her It's easy to insist that the method be rhythm When your only son is carrying a metronome within him He'll do the honourable thing Stand quivering by your side And the last thing this family needs is Another child And another child bride Another child And another child bride Another child And another child bride He shows up at her window And she shimmies down the ladder When she gets back to her room She's none the wiser but she's sadder When the saint and the serpent Prepare themselves to grapple It starts out in the Chevy And it ends up in a chapel She'll do the honourable thing It's shivering cold outside And the last thing this family needs is Another child Another child bride Another child Another child bride Hard labour for those imprisoned Contractions like 'don't' and 'isn't' Just look how the baby glistened Travelling down that slide On April 22nd all her cousins threw a shower And she opened up appliances for upwards of an hour Witness! Licence! Civil ceremony! Then they went back to her mother's house for wine and cannelloni We'll do the honourable thing Deliver you from your pride And the last thing this family needs is Another child Another child bride Another child Another child bride Another child Another child bride Another child Another child bride (I'm keeping the baby) Another child Another child bride (I'm keeping the baby) Another child Another child bride (Hey! Hey! I'm keeping the baby) Another child Another child bride (I'm keeping the baby)
