Level 42 Her Big Day Lyrics

Her Big Day Lyrics

Too bad about the weather
but something even badder`s gonna spoil her big day
he stands by the mirror
feelin` he`s gone fifteen rounds with Cassius Clay

He hears a cockney classic
get me to the church on time - those stupid Bow Bells
she`s dressed just like an angel
but very soon her heaven`s gonna turn into hell

She knew all along it was wrong and she`d
better, better, better, better give it up
with a love so strong, had to carry on
better, better, better, better live it up

Church yard, he`s in the bushes
nervous looking people say he must be delayed
they drive around in circles
she can see her big day slowly slippin` away

Down by the river, sanctuary (papa`s snipeing, mama`s wiping)
(tears away ... tears away)
deep inside, her father`s happy (people leaving, disbelievin`)
perfect irony

Better, better, better, better give it up

She knew all along it was wrong and she`d
better, better, better, better give it up
with a love so strong, had to carry on
better, better, better, better live it up

You could knock her down with a feather
you could knock her way on, way on
you could knock her down with a feather
you could knock her way on, way on down

Who cares about the weather
`cause something so much better happened after that day
guess what? they`re together
the best man put the bride up in the family way
