...STUPID MARRIAGE... by The Specials ---------------------................
*from 'The Specials' (1979)*
Intro: (Spoken)
(n.C) Court in session. What do you mean; "Oi, oi, oi"? Must have court in session. Order.
(Spoken over EAB):
My name is Judge Roughneck, And I will not tolerate any disobedience in my courtroom. Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me, And charged with smashing this woman's window. Before I sentence you; what have you got to say in your defence?
Verse 1:
EAB I was walking down the street, one night, EAB When I saw her silhouette in a bathroom light. EAB Her way of life, baby; nothing to hide, EAB With her frosted glass shattered curtains open wide.
Chorus 1:
DACG Naked woman, naked man, DACG Where did you get that nice sun-tan? DACG You live in a castle built of sand, DACG Naked woman, naked man.
Break:
(n.C) Naked from your bath, you go naked to your bed. And I can't stop the hatred running through my head.
Solo:
EAB (x6)
Break:
(Spoken over EAB):
Silence in court. Order. Rude boy, you have led me to believe, That you was going out with a girl, And she left you and married someone else. So you got drunk and smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property. I have come to one conclusion; That is to sentence you to five months in prison. Before they take you down to the cells, What have you got to say for yourself?
Verse 3:
EAB He wanted to be something, but she knows he never will. EAB She's got him where she wanted and for-got to take her pill. EAB And he thinks that she'll be happy when she's hanging out the nappies, EABbB (n.C) If that's a happy marriage; I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
Chorus 3:
DACG Married woman, married man, DACG Where did you get that family plan? DACG Mrs. Ewe and Mr. Ram, DACG Where did you get that lovely lamb?
