white wedding


composers
Written by: Billy Idol


publisher
Chrysalis Records Inc


background
The Billy Idol classic - incidentally produced by Keith Forsey - was covered by Simple Minds on the Chris Evans Breakfast Show on the 1st February.

The band were promoting Walk Between Worlds and Jim, Charlie, Gordie and Cherisse appeared on various radio shows playing acoustically.

White Wedding was only played on Chris Evans Breakfast Show where it closed the show. Jim couldn't resist changing the last line to "It's a nice day for black pudding."




lyrics
Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister who's the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day for a white wedding.
It's a nice day to start again.

Hey little sister who is it you're with?
Hey little sister what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister shot gun
Hey little sister who's your superman?
Hey little sister shot gun!

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

Pick it up

Take me back home

Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who's the only one?
I've been away for so long
I've been away for so long
I let you go for so long

It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.

There is nothin' fair in this world
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again

Come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again.
It's a nice day to start again
