Predictably.
and i dance to one of your old tunes
with my true love on our wedding day
and your voice sang the way my heart would sing
that finally knew just what to say
Ani DiFranco, "Soft Shoulder"
Love and marriage,
Love and marriage
Go together
Like a horse and carriage
This I tell you brother
You can't have one without the other
Love and marriage, love and marriage
It's an institute you can't disparage
Ask the local gentry
And they will say it's elementary
Frank Sinatra, "Love and Marriage" (AKA the theme to Married With Children)
marriage is impossible marriage is dull
your dance card is empty your plate is too full
it's something no sensible person would do
i wish i was married i wish I was married
i wish i was married to you
Greg Brown, "Marriage Chant"
Choosing saturdays in summer
I dare you to wear white
Love is just a moment of giving
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
Billy Bragg, "The Marriage"
Marriage is for old folks
Old folks, not for me!
One husband
One wife
Whaddya got?
Two people sentenced for life!
Nina Simone, "Marriage is for Old Folks"
Hey little sister what have you done
Hey little sister who's the only one
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again (come on)
Billy Idol, "White Wedding"
to you i give my pledge
i honor all that's good
in this life we're living
to think not only of myself
Tracy Chapman, "Wedding Song"
