"I Write Sins Not Tragedies"

Post by Ice Cream Jonsey »

I have a question. There is a song that is probably playing the radio, but hell, I don't know for sure if it's playing in YOUR town. It's playing in Cowhump, CO, though.

Let me give you the lyrics first.
Oh, well imagine; as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, and I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:

"What a beautiful wedding!", "What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.

"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore."

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

I'd chime in "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of...

Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved

Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne

Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved

Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne

I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"

No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality.

OK. I understand the first part. But who is "speaking" when the narrator says that "technically our marriage is saved."? Huh? I don't understand that at all.

And yes, I am probably overthinking a stupid pop song even asking this question, but what the hell. It's been a pretty slow week.
the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!
