According To Plan : Remains of the Day
Tears to Shed : The Wedding Song



"According To Plan"

It's a beautiful day, It's a rather nice day, A day for a glorious wedding. A rehearsal, my dear, to be perfectly clear, A rehearsal for a glorious wedding. Assuming nothing happens that we don't really know, That nothing unexpected interferes with the show. And that's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...

According to plan, Our son will be married, According to plan, Our family carried, We'll go right into to the heights of society... To the costume balls, In the hallowed halls, Rubbing elbows with the finest, Having crumpets with her highness, We'll be there, we'll be seen, having tea with the queen, We'll forget everything...that we've ever ever been.

It's a terrible day, Now don't be that way, It's a terrible day for a wedding, It's a sad, sad state of affairs we're in, That has led to this ominous wedding, How could our family have come to this? To marry off our daughter to the noveaux-rich. They're so common, So coarse, Oh, it couldn't be worse! It couldn't be worse? I'm afraid I disagree, It could be land-rich bankrupt aristocracy, without a penny to their name...just like you...and me. Oh, dear. And that's why everything, every last little thing, every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...

According to plan, Our daughter will wed. According to plan, Our family lead, From the depths of deepest poverty, To the noble realm, Of our ancestors. And who'd have guessed in a million years that our daughter, with the face of an otter in disgrace, Would provide our ticket to our rightful place?

Marriage is a partnership, A little tit-for-tat, You'd think a lifetime watching us might have taught her that, Might have taught her that, Everything must be perfect, Everything must be perfect, Everything must be perfect, Everything must be perfect, perfect, That's why everything, every last little thing,every single tiny microscopic little thing must go...According to plan!Back to top



"Remains of the Day"

Hey! Give me a listen you corpses of cheer, Leastles of you who still got an ear, I'll tell you a story make a skeleton cry, Of our own jubiliciously lovely corpse bride, Die, die we all pass away, But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay, And you might try 'n' hide, And you might try 'n' pray, But we all end up the remains of the day, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah

Well our girl is a beauty known for miles around, When a mysterious stranger came into town, He's plenty good lookin', but down on his cash, And our poor little baby, she fell hard and fast, When her daddy said no, she just couldn't cope, So our lovers came up with a plan to elope, Die, die we all pass away, But don't wear a frown cuz it's really okay, And you might try 'n' hide, And you might try 'n' pray, But we all end up the remains of the day, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, Yeah yeah yeah

So they conjured up a plan to meet late at night, They told not a soul, kept the whole thing tight, Now her mother's wedding dress fit like a glove, You don't need much when you're really in love, Except for a few things, or so I'm told, Like the family jewls and a sachel of gold, Then next to the grave yard by the old oak tree, On a dark foggy night at a quarter to three, She was ready to go, but where was he, And then? She waited, And then? There in the shadows, was it the man? And then? Her little heart beat so loud, And then? And then baby, everything went black Now when she opened her eyes she was dead as dust, Her jewls were missin' and her heart was bust, So she made a vow lyin' under that tree, That she'd wait for her true love to come set her free, Always waiting for someone to ask for her hand, When out of the blue comes this groovy young man, Who vows forever to be by her side, And that's the story of our own corpse brideBack to top



"Tears to Shed"

What does that whispy little brat have that you don't have double? She can't hold a candle to the beauty of your smile, How about a pulse? Overrated by a mile, Overbearing, Overblown, If he only knew the you that we know, And that silly little creature isn't wearing his ring, And she doesn't play piano, Or dance, Or sing, No she doesn't compare, But she still breathes air, Who cares? Unimportant, Overrated, Overblown, If only he could see, How special you can be, If he only knew the you that we know

If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain, If you cut me with a knife it's still the same, And I know her heart is beating, And I know that I am dead, Yet the pain here that I feel, Try and tell me it's not real, For it seems that I still have a tear to shed

The sure redeeming feature, From that little creature, Is that she's alive, Overrated, Overblown, Everybody know that's just a temporary state, Which is cured very quickly when we meet our fate, Who cares? Unimportant, Overrated, Overblown, If only he could see, How special you can be, If he only knew the you that we know

If I touch a burning candle I can feel no pain, In the ice or in the sun it's all the same, Yet I feel my heart is aching, Though it doesn't beat it's breaking, And the pain here that I feel, Try and tell me it's not real, I know that I am dead, Yet it seems that I still have some tears to shedBack to top



"The Wedding Song"

Wedding, a wedding, we're going to have a wedding, a wedding! The spiders think you're very cute, but goodness knows you need a suit, But have no fears, we're quite adept, we'll have you looking lovely yet, A little stitch, a little tuck, some tender loving care, A little thread will fix you up and we've got plenty as you see, And personally guarantee our quality repairs, A little here, a fix of this, We're going to do our best, When everybody sees you, they will all be quite impressed, They will all be quite impressed.

A wedding, we're going to have - A wedding cake is no mistake, it must be quite sublime, We're missing something... Try some dust, I wish I had more time... Perhaps there's something I can do, these bones might help a bit, My nose! Sorry, Wait a mintue... that's it! A little that, A little this, The perfect cake is hard to miss, A wedding, a wedding, We're going to have a wedding! Huzzah! Huzzah! We're going to have a wedding, Hurray! A wedding! Hurray! Let's all give out a cheer cause the bride is getting married today! Hurray! One thing you can surely say is we will stand beside, Until the end, we will defend our one and only bride, Our bride to be, our bride to be, our lovely Corpse Bride, Huzzah! Hurray! Huzzah! Hurray! The bride is getting married today.

Oh! Here she comes, Oh look! It's her, Oh....the bride is here, She's waited for this day for many a year, For this day, for this day, Our hopes and our pride, The bride is here, Here comes the bride... Our bride, For this day, for this day will last forever, And all of her friends will work together, To make it the perfect day she's always dreamed, Our hopes and our pride, Our bride, our lovely bride. We're going to have a party like no-one has ever seen, The Living in the land above will not know where they've been, The Land above..(the Land above), The party of...(the party of), The Bride! Here comes the bride, On her glorious day of days, Up to the Land of the Living to celebrate!
