lyrics

I sang through blood and through broken teeth
I’ve said my prayers, said I’ve earned my keep
I’ve built a kingdom seen it over thrown

So Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home

I’ve buried the hatchet, I’ve buried my friends
And I’ll bury my secrets when the fair-weather ends
I’ve begged I’ve borrowed, can’t pay my loan

So Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home

We’re in for a penny, yes we’re in for a pound
We’re in for the plenty so drink it all down
I might not be righteous, I might not be sound
But I was born with a penny, gonna make it a pound

I’ve been to the bottom, I’ve been ground down
I’ll buckle my boots and I’ll stand my ground
The Good Book says ‘Well you reap what you sow’

So Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home

We’re in for a penny, yes we’re in for a pound
We’re in for the plenty so drink it all down
You might not be righteous, you might not be sound
But we’re born with a penny, gotta make it a pound

Some bury their children, some bury their kin
Some people so empty, let the emptiness win
Some ain’t got nothin’ but their flesh and their bone

So Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home
Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home
Save Your Bitching for the Old Folks Home

"The Wedded Bliss are just plain wonderful, a rose scented brew of beer-tap poetry and narrative country with a side plate of 50s rock melody. Cheerful, melancholy, funny…" - BMA Magazine

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.
