There's confetti on the courthouse stairs
No one cares and no one cares
No proud old Papa threw it there
No one cares and no one cares
And London's cold and London's wet
Her tears hide in the baby's breath
And mingle with the grains of rice
Cast aside by the courthouse mice
Honeymoons in June
Wedding days in May
Love in the modern times ain't the
picture perfect way
No time for sentiment, no money
to be spent
So save your stamps from old romance
for a picture postcard day
The evening news came out at six
All sports reports and politics
No mention of the blushing bride
No photograph appeared inside
A thousand strangers saunter by
There's nothing new to catch their eye
On the Knightsbridge bus they pay no heed
With sports reports and news to read
No best man for the groom
No springtime flowers in bloom
Love on a winter day can be
overcast and grey
Don't book the Grand Hotel
The pub works just as well
We'll have a drink and time to think
But not enough to dwell
Her letter home was just a note
Enough to say she missed them both
"At six o'clock just yesterday,
I got hitched the modern way
No wedding band or costly dress
A neighbor was my only guest
How strange that I should be so far
From hearth and home and where you are."
No strolling down the aisle
The march is out of style
Love in a stranger's land
With no loved ones close at hand
No tiers of wedding cake
No hundred hands to shake
Let life and love lament
For the frills that you forsake
No one cares and no one cares
No proud old Papa threw it there
No one cares and no one cares
And London's cold and London's wet
Her tears hide in the baby's breath
And mingle with the grains of rice
Cast aside by the courthouse mice
Honeymoons in June
Wedding days in May
Love in the modern times ain't the
picture perfect way
No time for sentiment, no money
to be spent
So save your stamps from old romance
for a picture postcard day
The evening news came out at six
All sports reports and politics
No mention of the blushing bride
No photograph appeared inside
A thousand strangers saunter by
There's nothing new to catch their eye
On the Knightsbridge bus they pay no heed
With sports reports and news to read
No best man for the groom
No springtime flowers in bloom
Love on a winter day can be
overcast and grey
Don't book the Grand Hotel
The pub works just as well
We'll have a drink and time to think
But not enough to dwell
Her letter home was just a note
Enough to say she missed them both
"At six o'clock just yesterday,
I got hitched the modern way
No wedding band or costly dress
A neighbor was my only guest
How strange that I should be so far
From hearth and home and where you are."
No strolling down the aisle
The march is out of style
Love in a stranger's land
With no loved ones close at hand
No tiers of wedding cake
No hundred hands to shake
Let life and love lament
For the frills that you forsake
