Newly-weds by Giles, Giles And Fripp Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?
They dive in the deep end of life with a weekend of
"Nice, just what I've always wanted"

[Chorus]
But on the other hand
She's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking a living and making it work

[Verse 2]
He worries all day about wolves at his door
It's for sure there's no law against trying

[Chorus]
But on the other hand
She's got a ring
Love conquers everything
Giving and taking a living and making it work
[Outro]
Newly-weds playing at husbands and wives
Don't they know it's their lives they are gambling?

[Spoken word outro: The Saga of Rodney Toady, Part 2]
Older people pointed at him as he walked by and whispered to each other, "Rodney is a sad young man because he's fat and ugly!" But they whispered loud enough so that Rodney could hear, and this made him even sadder. Rodney said, "I can hear what you are whispering, because I have extraordinary powers of hearing!" And the older people would tell him that his hearing was as poor as his face was grotesque, and that they had whispered as loud as they had on purpose
