| You said it would be romantic
|
| That moonlighting was the thing
|
| Eloping in a ten year old van
|
| Fixed with string
|
| And after all the packing
|
| Secrecy and fuss
|
| We never got past Watford
|
| And we had to come home by bus
|
| Early to bed and off to work next day
|
| My parents never even noticed
|
| We’d been away
|
| But don’t say I didn’t warn you
|
| I told you so
|
| You were too stubborn to listen
|
| I said you’d come unstuck
|
| I said you’d come unglued
|
| You wouldn’t listen to reason
|
| A registry office marriage
|
| I said was a mistake
|
| Your mother laughed the whole time
|
| And your brother cut the cake
|
| I wanted priest and church
|
| A proper white wedding
|
| And a sober best man
|
| Might not have lost the ring
|
| Honeymoon in Norfolk
|
| You went fishing all the time
|
| In Majorca at least
|
| We might have caught some sunshine
|
| But don’t say I didn’t warn you
|
| I told you so
|
| You were too stubborn to listen
|
| I said you’d come unstuck
|
| I said you’d come unglued
|
| You wouldn’t listen to reason
|
| A home of our own
|
| You turned do-it-yourself
|
| I told you’d better be off
|
| To leave it to somebody else
|
| You did the plumbing
|
| Now the cistern’s upside down
|
| The hot water’s cold
|
| And the cold water’s brown
|
| Then there was the other thing
|
| You even got that wrong
|
| Here we are with seven kids
|
| And we only wanted one
|
| But don’t say I didn’t warn you
|
| I told you so
|
| You were too stubborn to listen
|
| I said you’d come unstuck
|
| I said you’d come unglued
|
| You wouldn’t listen to reason |
