Joe Orton's Wedding Lyrics
Joe Orton's Wedding (乔·奥顿的婚礼) - David J
Written by:David J
At Joe or ton's wedding
The bride wore black
Death caught the discarded bouquet
The marriage was consummated
In a gentleman's loo on the way
Joe pulled out a plum
From the bitter tart
As the honeymoon sank in the west
Till death us do part
Rice paper heart
Old borrowed and blue
Laid to rest
To wait in the wings of a shadow
Catching only the spray from each splash
In the sun by a swimming pool in tangier
Black gags having turned to green cash
The bride became a burden
A damper on champagne wit
Living in fear of every taboo
On which Joe with ink would spit
Mister Sloane I have a problem
It's about the trouble and strife
Forget it come to a party
But for heaven's sake don't bring the wife
Mrs Orton penned the ending
The final play for today
Putting faith in nembrutals
And a hammer to keep it that way
A drag on the closing curtain
Michelangelo's David saw all
Double death real life drama
Observed by the eyes on a wall
