LYRICS:

The Newlyweds

words and music by Damian Scott

The bridal suite wasn’t quite what you expected

And the view out of the lake was not that at all

And the thirty-year-old outlook from a sixteen-year-old mind

Will never help you when she’s crawling up the wall

Wishing you were not the newlyweds

Wishing you were not the newlyweds

Wishing you were not the newlyweds

Start from the start and wake up one day ten years later

The honeymoon, it came and went in silence

As you packed away your memories in that case

The pressure cooker romance started leaking steam, quiteslowly first

But blew its top much later in your face

The photographs were dull and uninspiring

A perpetual reminder of the grief

A Kodachrome rendition of a black and white state of mind

That took away your future like a thief

Wake up, wake up, wake up!

(Won’t you) wake up, wake up!
