lyrics

I’ve been living life
Like an airline disaster
Broken teeth made of plaster
In a house made of straw

It’s been trying times
Said the way I’ve tried
Like a broken bird sings a four letter word
Like a broken bird sings a four letter word

Been punch drunk I’ve been down
And my faith it unwound
Tried to hide my disgrace
Lose my face in the crowd

It’s been crying times
Said the way I’ve cried
Like a teenage bride on her first wedded night
Like a teenage bride on her first wedded night

You were faithful, I was thoughtless
You were patient, I was cruel
Two wrongs made a right mess of me
Two wrongs made a right mess of you

Now you’re drinking dry
Taking natural highs
In another man’s arms
In another man’s crimes

It’s been lying times
Said the way I’ve lied
For the end of desire
For the end I deny

You were faithful, I was thoughtless
You were patient, I was cruel
Two wrongs made a right mess of me
Two wrongs made a right mess of you
Two wrongs was the best I could do

Now I’ve had all my doubts
Bitter blood in my mouth
Tried to wash you right down
Tried to clean you right out

It’s been trying times
Said the way I’ve tried
Like a broken bird Sings a four letter word
Like a broken bird Sings a four letter word
Like a broken bird Sings a four letter word

The Wedded Bliss is a labour of love for Randall Blair, Matt Nightingale and Lachlan Coventry.

They are a band that that will have you tapping your toes, singing along to their catchy country swing tunes.
