Richard Thompson - Nobody's Wedding Lyrics

Everybody came to nobody's wedding
Everybody knew it was bound to be a hoot
What can you do when nothing else is cooking
You make your own amusement, bring a pile of loot

There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn
Who couldnt see where they were heading
It was sixteen days and sixteen nights
And it werent even nobodys wedding

"What a great reception", all the people cried
Who stole the groom and who stole the bride
How did the countess slide underneath the door
Why is the wild boy chopping up the floor?

There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn
Who couldnt see where they were heading
It was sixteen days and sixteen nights
And it werent even nobodys wedding

I didnt hear the sound of the tin cans rattle
I didnt hear a teardrop, I didnt hear a prattle
Didnt hear the words of the bible being read
When its nobodys wedding, nobodys wed

There was Alice the butcher, Tidy and Gunn
Who couldnt see where they were heading
It was sixteen days and sixteen nights
And it werent even nobodys wedding
