"Ban Marriage" by the Hidden Cameras
I was late getting to church on the morning of my ceremony
Stayed up too late the night before from fingering foreign dirty holes in the dark.
The morning sun blinded my eyes and made my skin look pale and tainted in the light
And there were steps to climb as I unloosened my tie
As I began to walk the aisle the congregation looked behind
But I continued past the pews and met my angel in a suit with a smile
And as I looked him in the eye I heard my bestfriend cry
That we aren’t fools to fall in love but let the ‘coupledom’ die
Ban marriage, ban marriage
The minister was drunk and high from his rewrite of holy verse with more lies
But the organist she played with a tenacity and grace that was fine
The whole room was filled with the thunder and flood
Of just one chord; the thrill and clarity of sound
But soon the song went slowly dead and I was forced to take a stand on one side; it was him or my fag hag, oh well, I guess she was never that good of a friend
After my fag hag friend fled the minister looked mighty fed and content
We said his rewritten vows that I could hardly pronounce
But was soon drowned out by that organ and the shout of
Ban Marriage, Ban Marriage, Ban Marriage, Ban Marriage
The congregation, stunned and dumbed, looked upon me with an innocuous stare I wept and on my knees I prayed that there be truth and there be light in my day
In my hung over haze I felt the thunder of God
It was the orders that I take the wrath upon my own rod
Then I repeated my own vows, they were perverted and the smelled of myself
That there is splendour in the harshness of bum
That the consummation makes a grumble and the sound that I have learned called:
Ban marriage, Ban marriage, Ban amarriage, Ban marriage,
Ban marriage, Ban it all!
