Commentary
Mark's "Westgate" album track comments:
“I take you to be my wife, to have and to hold from this day
forward, for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in
health, to love and to cherish; from this day forward until death do us part.”
It’s a big ask, but it’s still popular.
Lyrics
She smokes in the kitchen
She strangles the wine
The neighbours come over
She loves a good time
Everyone's happy now
So I fall into line
And love
Love is a heavy load
Into a pillow
She quietly weeps
She's up before sunrise
She never sleeps
She puts her shoes on
And runs through the streets
And love
Love is a heavy load
She's a bad girl
But she's got a heart of gold
Sometimes I wish
She'd come in from the cold
She's a sad girl
She crashes and burns
She never learns
She never learns
Furs and diamonds
Perfumeries
Gold on her neck and arms
She loves pretty things
She's always surrounded by
What my money brings
And love
Love is a heavy load
She's a bad girl
But she's got a heart of gold
She's got a story
That will never be told
She's a sad girl
She crashes and burns
She never learns
She never learns
The sun is rising
We lie in the dark
I hear her breathing
It's breaking my heart
So why don't you take me
Back to the start
And love
Love is a heavy load
