Maisy Kay - Remains of the Day

Текст песни

Give me a listen you corpses of cheer
At least those of you who still got an ear
I’ll tell you a story, make a skeleton cry
'Bout our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride
Die, die we all pass away
But don’t wear a frown 'cause it’s really okay
And you might try and hide
You might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Oh no, oh no no
Oh no, no no no no
Well, our girl is a beauty known for miles around
Till a mysterious stranger came into town
He’s plenty good-looking, but down on his cash
And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast
When her daddy said no, she just couldn’t cope
So our lovers came up with a plan to elope
Die, die we all pass away
But don’t wear a frown 'cause it’s really okay
And you might try and hide
You might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Oh no, oh no no
Oh no, oh no no
(Oh, that’s right
Hit it boys)
So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night
They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight
Now, her mother’s wedding dress fit like a glove
You don’t need much when you’re really in love
Except for a few things, or so I’m told
Like the family jewels and a satchel of gold
Die, die we all pass away
But don’t wear a frown 'cause it’s really okay
And you might try and hide
You might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust
Her jewels were missing and her heart was bust
So she made a vow lying under that tree
That she’d wait for her true love to come set her free
Been waiting for someone to ask for her hand
When out of the blue comes this groovy young man
Who vows forever to be by her side
And that’s the story of our corpse bride
Die, die we all pass away
But don’t wear a frown cause it’s really okay
And you might try and hide
You might try and pray
But we all end up the remains of the day
