She'd been planning her wedding for 30 odd years
the dress & the shoes & the cake & the tears
when her 40s started to loom
oh dear she thought ive forgotten a groom!
he'd been planning his single life for 30 odd years
the tv the sofa the takeaways the beers
now that his 40s started to loom
all he wanted to do was rent out his spare room
so she posted an ad
in the paper for free
Groom wanted it said
but they missed off the G
he rang her up
said ive got what you need
hey come round take a look
she thought wow!... she agreed!
she liked what she saw
he was dark he was slim
& she nearly passed out
when he said “when d'ya wanna move in?”
Loves is always a misunderstanding
I thought I was flying
but I was crash landing
love always gets scrambled in translation
I thought I was flying
to some hot destination
but the guy you thought was the pilot of your dreams
cant even fly a bloody kite it seems
