Ugl… Read Full Bio ↴The Supersonics is a rock band from Kolkata, West Bengal, India.
Ugly, dirty and ultra-talented, The Supersonics crashed the Calcutta music scene with a high voltage performance at a crowded little bar called Someplace Else. Formed in 2006, their defiant anthems have already earned them an anti-gravity cult status. Geared with a toothpaste fresh sound and a dangerous stage presence, it would be wrong to call The Supersonics a band. They are a milk-drinking, vitamin-popping call to arms. They are a shiny new revolution.
Garage/Indie/Punk/Alternative/Blah…their sound is not pigeonholed to any one genre. The band has a huge, loyal and steadily increasing fan base. They write songs that are addictive like chocolate. One of the very few bands that has the crowd singing along with them on practically every one of their original songs. Their live sets are high voltage.
After their demise in 2010, they reformed again in April/May 2012 releasing their second album titled "Heads Up" in August 2014.
Get Me To the Church On Time
The Supersonics Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
A few more hours before I tie the knot
There'll be drinks and girls all over London
And I gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours
I'm gettin' married in the morning
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopper
I got to get there in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
But get me to the church on time
If I am dancing roll up the floor
If I am whistling right out the door
I got to get there in the morning
Ding, ding, dong, they're gonna chime
Kick up a rumpus, don't lose your compass
Get me to the church, get me to the church
Pete's sake, get me to the church on time
If I'm flyin' then shoot me down
If I'm wooin' get the girl right out of town
I got to get there in the morning
Ding, ding, dong, they're gonna chime
Punch me and jail me, stamp me and mail me
But get me to the church, get me to the church
Pete's sakes, get me to the church on time
On time, on time, on time
The Supersonics's song "Get Me to the Church on Time" is excited and anxious all at once as it sings about a man trying to get to his own wedding on time. The song starts out with the first verse speaking about how he only has a few hours until he gets married and there are still many things that he needs to do. The next few lines emphasize the celebration aspects of the day - there will be drinks and girls all over London that he wants to track down before the wedding. The chorus starts in with the classic "I'm getting married in the morning, ding dong, the bells are gonna chime" and promises a big party before "getting to the church on time."
Throughout the song, there is a sense of urgency as the man needs to get to the church before it's too late, despite all of the distractions and obstacles that are presented. While the bride is not mentioned in the lyrics, the song is more about the man's frantic attempts to not only show up on time but to also have fun before tying the knot. This song taps into the feeling of excitement and nervousness that comes with a wedding as well as the pressure to not disappoint the bride, the guests, or even himself on this special day.

A few more hours, that's all the time I got
I only have a short amount of time left
A few more hours before I tie the knot
I am getting married soon
There'll be drinks and girls all over London
There are parties and women all over the city
And I gotta track 'em down in just a few more hours
I have to find them all before time runs out
I'm gettin' married in the morning
I am getting married the next day
Ding, dong, the bells are gonna chime
The church bells will ring
Pull out the stopper, we'll have a whopper
Let's have a big celebration
But get me to the church on time
But I need to get to the church on time
I got to get there in the morning
I need to arrive in the morning
Spruced up and lookin' in my prime
I want to look my best
Girls come and kiss me, say that you'll miss me
I want girls to kiss me and say goodbye
If I am dancing roll up the floor
I am going to dance a lot
If I am whistling right out the door
I will be in a happy mood
Ding, ding, dong, they're gonna chime
The bells of the church will ring
Kick up a rumpus, don't lose your compass
Let's have a wild time, but don't get lost
Get me to the church, get me to the church
I need to arrive at the church
Pete's sake, get me to the church on time
Please, hurry and get me to the church on time
If I'm flyin' then shoot me down
If I am acting crazy, stop me
If I'm wooin' get the girl right out of town
If I am flirting, make sure the girl leaves town
Punch me and jail me, stamp me and mail me
Anything to ensure I get to the church on time
But get me to the church, get me to the church
But I need to get to the church
Pete's sakes, get me to the church on time
Please, hurry and get me to the church on time
On time, on time, on time
I need to arrive at the church on time
