Biografía:
The Wedding Present es una banda post punk formada en Leeds, Inglaterra, en 1985 de las cenizas de The Lost Pandas. El sonido de la banda fue evolucionando desde el punk a un exquisito pop en la vena de sus obvias influencias, The Fall, Buzzcocks y Gang of Four.
Hay quien dice que The Wedding Present escribía las mejores letras para dedicar a mujeres y quizás sea cierto.

[Verse]
A E A
The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
D A
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
D A
She said: "Don't take me home until I'm drunk. Very drunk indeed!"
G Bm A
G Bm
G A
We talked about a second date
D A
She said that meeting me was fate
D A
And, though I don't believe in that crap, I said: "Yes"
We both knew where the night would end
D A
But when we kissed, I won't pretend, I still shook with apprehension, I confess
[Chorus]
G Bm
And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"
A G Bm
But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"
[Verse]
D
And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she'd never be mine,
G
as I discovered the next day
D
A text on my phone saying:
"I don't know whether I mentioned him last night,
A G
but I'm getting back together with my old fiancé
I'm sorry, by the way"

A D

D A
And, when I think about that night,
I wonder if perhaps I might
D G D A
not have done every single thing I could
But, deep down, I know I was blind; she just used me to make up her mind
D A
But if I had to do it all again, I would
[Outro]

And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"

But, as I recall, she said: "I like you too"
