Newly-Weds

by Giles, Giles & Fripp

on The Cheerful Insanity Of Giles, Giles & Fripp (1992)

Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?
They dive in the deep-end of life with a weekend
Of "Nice, just what I've always wanted"

But on the other hand, she's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking are living and making it work

He worries all day about wolves at his door
It's for sure there's no law against trying

But on the other hand, she's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking are living and making it work

Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?

Single Version

Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?
Bearing the brunt of their nuptial experiment
Funny how everything's different

But on the other hand, she's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking are living and making it work

He worries all day about wolves at his door
It's for sure there's no law against trying

But on the other hand, she's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking are living and making it work
Off to work

Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?
