There Was a Wedding

There was a wedding, a child and her jailer
He wore Armani Italian shoes
She was a princess, she swore like a sailor
With a small glass of gin and a bottle of blues
Singing mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
There was a wedding, a true blue romance
He wore a white shirt, was a model of charm
She was an angel, she said it was her best chance
Covering the flower of the bruise on her arm
Singing mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
The kids are all leaving town
You can’t keep a bad girl down
There was a wedding, a binary union
They wore silk and sweatshop pleats
Singing did you ever want me
Did you ever love me or did you just concede defeat?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
Mother can you see me now?
Mother can you tell me are you proud?
