Level 42 - 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 sniping, 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
