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
