When the bride-to-be found out
Where her fiance had been that night
You could see the storm clouds forming
And there was gonna be a fight
He said he hadn't done it
But she knew that he had
You could tell right from that moment
Things would turn out bad
He heard her talking in her sleep
To the lover of her dreams
Whispering sweet nothings
And most of it obscene
He found it quite exciting
And just a harmless game
But it froze him to the marrow
When she called his best friend's name
(Chorus)
They were looking forward to those wedding bells (wedding bells)
They thought it would be heaven
But it turned out to be hell
Kisses and confetti and rice
Ooh, that would have been nice
But if you're gonna play away
You're gonna pay the price
When the priest asked if somebody knew
Why they should not be wed
The congregation formed a queue
There was so much to be said
And the ushers quietly crept away
To the shadows 'round the hall
And they tried to hide 'cos they all knew the bride
When she used to rock 'n' roll
(Repeat chorus)
Where her fiance had been that night
You could see the storm clouds forming
And there was gonna be a fight
He said he hadn't done it
But she knew that he had

To the lover of her dreams
Whispering sweet nothings
And most of it obscene

And just a harmless game
