Here Comes The Groom Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

With half an eye on history 

And half an ounce of hope 

Sold his soul in the vestry 

Money for old rope 

Been this way a million times 

But now his time is nigh 

He steps into the spotlight 

He wants to say 'hi 

Hello, we're so glad you came 

You've never seen me before' 

He's so ambitious, he's so game 

But yesterday he was dressed the same 

Then he was so much easier to ignore 

Here comes the groom 

But the world's not an inn and there isn't any room for you 

But here he comes 

 

He married into money 

Just to kiss and tell 

He ripped the contract open 

He's out of his shell 

He looks into a mirror 

Practising his poise 

But it reflects so badly 

The groom just gets annoyed 

He gasps, he forgets his lines 

He's never done that before 

The scientists say he's doing fine 

This fumbling frantic frankenstein 

Soon he's gonna do the dinosaur 

Here comes the groom 

 

His fingers are on the cliff edge 

His head is going under 

Is that applause? 

No that's just thunder.... 

Why do you keep saying I do? 

What does the bride mean to you? 

 

Play me some puccini 

Make it heavy on the strings 

Walk me to the altar 

The choir can't even sing 

Right side for the photographs 

Left side for the kids 

God made me do it 

So that's what I did 

He coughs, loosens his bow-tie 

You've never seen him before 

He kisses the bride, oh you know why 

Love's one more thing you can buy 

He was unfaithful before he went outdoors 

(and now he's in the graveyard) 

Here comes the groom.....
