lyrics

I'm gonna get married, you see if I don't
Borne aloft to the church gates
A choral group in full throat
We'll be cutting confetti from our magazine spreads
Making way for Mendlessohn and the "I do's that we said"

I'm gonna get married
I sent her parents a note
Gilded paper poetics
She'll be in no doubt
Red arrows in the sky will tell it
In the sweetest hot air
Whilst below romantic students
Pen poems as they stare

(she said)
"You'll never get married, your dream's too big for the town
you've saddled up on the wrong horse, riding off with a frown”
but a girl's been here to hear all, of your fanciful schemes
whie you missed the winks, the cajoling from, this girl who's not a dream...

We're gonna get married
You see if we don't
We're gonna get married
You see if we don't
I'm gonna get married (yeah!)
I'm gonna get married (yeah)

about

Alexander's Festival Hall image

Alexander's Festival Hall London, UK

Alexander's Festival Hall is a sort of English pop confection, a mix of regretful ballads and occasional pop rainbows. New album 'Not From Above!' is both music and book of stories. Twelve lush romantic songs and a collection of darkly comic thought experiments.
