lyrics

From the blackened finger papers
To the magazines of shame
Where art is just a rumour
In the meat market of fame
I have stood up to be counted but my numbers been denied
I am always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

The bride will be resplendent
On her glorious day of days
While the bridesmaids drunk and weeping
Leaping for that blessed bouquet
Well I have wept and drunk too but the flowers I caught had died
I am always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.

Shall I tell you how it really is
In this life amongst the star
There are those who’ll rob and kill you
And return you to the bars
But a worse fate is waiting
For those the critics don't deride
Who are loved by just a handful who make them feel alive
Go on admit it now that truth from which you’ve shied
You are too scared to quit now because of your fucking pride
You are always the bridesmaid, never the bride
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
Always the bridesmaid, never the bride.
