Richard Thompson - Nobody's Wedding Lyrics
Everybody came to nobody's weddingEverybody knew it was bound to be a hootWhat can you do when nothing else is cooking?You make your own amusement, bring a pile of loot(Chorus)There was Alice, the butcher, ?tidy and gone?We couldn't see where they were headingWith sixteen days and sixteen nightsAnd it weren't even nobody's wedding"What a great reception," all the people cried"Who stole the groom and who stole the bride?How did the countess slide underneath the door?Why is the wild boy chopping up the floor?"(Chorus)I didn't hear the sound of the tin cans rattleI didn't hear a tear drop, I didn't hear a prattleI didn't hear the words of the Bible being readWhen it's nobody's wedding, nobody's wed(Chorus
