She's Getting Married

She's getting married in the summertime, the flower garden

She lights a candle and remembers when the days were hard and long

Carry on, the work is better

Carry on, the work is better write your letter

When I was 29 I didn't really feel alive, but

Thirty alone feels like the kind of life I thought I left behind

Carry on, the work is better

Carry on, and one day you'll find finer weather

And she is marching on the road to liberate the world

She got a 9-to-5 and buys shoes for her baby girl

And now my typewriter is broken and my life's a fuckin' joke, I hope it makes you laugh

It's all I have

She's getting married in the garden to the perfect man

I light a candle and remember how she used to hold my hand

Carry on, the work is better

Carry on, the work is all you'll ever treasure

She's getting married in the garden to the perfect man

I light a candle and remember how she used to hold my hand

Carry on, the work is better

Carry on, the work is all you'll ever treasure
