Births, Deaths & Marriages
Listen very carefully I'll say this only once I haven't had a moment's peace In thirty-seven months
Commitments squeezed like tinned sardines Into each precious hour But I'll survive 'cause where there's life There's generally a bar, line 'em up
Births and deaths and marriages Cabbages and kings Slugs and snails and e-mails Other precious things
Cherubim and seraphic Go green with envy for All the births and deaths and marriages Mortality affords
Today a man got on my tram And wiped his sweaty neck And suddenly I saw how he Must look whilst having sex
I felt like Henry, the sixth felt When he sang hysterically Watching the slaughter his supporters Thought he ought to see
Births and deaths and marriages Divorces, christenings Isn't life a roll of strife 'Round a splendid thing
Cherubim and seraphic Continually do cry Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Life's wasted on these mortal ones So can we have a try? Yeah
Here's a story 'bout a boy Ignored by all the class They broke his leg so he could get them All to sign his cast
But instead of writing, 'Get well soon' They wrote, 'You suck' A dreadful story, I'm terribly sorry At least I made it up
Births and deaths and marriages Cabbages and kings Tops and tails and screams and wails Cheated in between
What the hell? I'm fit and well I'm able and I'm willing I'm not from Venus or from Mars I'm from Enniskillen
So why watch the nation's 'Hundred Greatest Things In History' When the top spot goes by lot To Bohemian Rhapsody?
You will never see a poor bookie The dealer always wins And there ain't no clocks 'round the Vegas slots Keep taxing your votes in
Goodnight And may your God go with you
