I Stole A Bride

And every prince who lives in Greece
Will tear themselves to pieces for this beauty
Born of a swan, Jesus don't be long
Let her body sweat above mine in the summertime
And was it she who wrote "Porn is woman hatred" on my overcoat?
But I need that coat 'cause it's cold outside
It really shouldn't be this cold in summertime

When she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I stole her bride
I stole her pretty bride during the summertime
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the suitor's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

And when the swan coupled with the goose
They conceived a holy beauty and they let her loose
And she caused a war for ten long years
By running off with me she caused her husband tears
And those big battleships are heading straight for me
And I haven't even kissed her properly
Oh, those big battleships they're gunning straight for me
And I just need to taste her properly

When she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she pretend I'm pretty?
Oh, I stole her bride
I stole her pretty bride during the summertime
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the suitor's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

And when I stepped in her room with silver sword in hand
She stood there semi-naked, the sword fell from her hands
She let the silk slip, gently fall from her hips
And Christ I want to kiss her because heaven lies within her lips

Oh, when she lies with me
Will she forget I'm ugly?
Will she forget I'm pretty?
Oh, I stole her bride
I stole her pretty bride during the summertime
Why must she taunt me so?
She still has his scent
She still wears the bastard's clothes
I've lived a lie
I stole a pretty bride during the summertime

A pretty bride
During the summertime
