Crashed the Wedding
Busted Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm so rushed off my feet
Looking for Gordon Street
So much I need to say
I'm sorry that it's on her wedding day

'Cause she's so right for me
Her daddy disagrees
He's always hated me
Because I never got a J-O-B
'Cause she's mine

And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
But it's the best thing that I ever did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding

The neighbours spread the word
And my mum cried when she heard
I stole my girl away
From everybody gathered there that day
And just in time

And I'm glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
I could have been a loser kid
Who ran away and hid
I said I'd do it and I did
'Cause true love lasts forever
And now we're back together
As if he never met her
So looking back
I'm glad I crashed the wedding

Don't wish her being
Mad at me for taking her away
'Cause anyway she didn't wanna stay
So please believe me when I say
She's glad I crashed the wedding
It's better than regretting
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't want a silly second name

'Cause true love lasts forever (true love lasts forever)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding
(We're back together)
It's better than regretting
(It's better than regretting)
The ring she got was lame
She couldn't take the pain
She didn't wanna silly second name
(No, no no-no)
'Cause true love lasts forever
(True love lasts)
And now we're back together
He might as well forget her
And walk away
She's glad I crashed the wedding

Magma
