Stupid Marriage by Specials ...STUPID MARRIAGE... by The Specials ---------------------................ *from 'The Specials' (1979)* Intro: (Spoken): (n.c) Court in session. What do you mean 'Oi oi oi'? Must have court in session. Order. (Spoken over E A B): My name is Judge Roughneck, And I will not tolerate, Any disobedience in my courtroom. Rude boy, you have been brought in front of me, And charged with smashing this woman's window. Before I sentence you; What have you got to say in your defence? Verse 1: E I was walking, A B Down the street one night, E When I saw her silhouette, A B In a bathroom light. E Her way of life baby, A B Nothing to hide, E With her frosted glass, A B Shatterd curtains open wide. Chorus 1: D A c G Naked woman, naked man, D A c G Where did you get that nice sun-tan? D A c G You live in a castle built of sand, D A c G Naked woman, naked man. Break: (n.c) Naked from your bath, You go naked to your bed. And I can't stop the hatred, Running through my head. Solo: E A B (x6) Break: (Spoken over E A B): Silence in court. Order. Rude boy, you have led me to believe, That you was going out with a girl, And she left you and married someone else. So you got drunk, And smashed up your ex-girlfriend's property. I have come to one conclusion; That is to sentence you to five months in prison. Before they take you down to the cells, What have you got to say for yourself? Verse 3: E He wanted to be something, A B But she knows he never will. E She's got him where she wanted, A B And for-got to take her pill. E And he thinks that she'll be happy, A B When she's hanging out the nappies, E If that's a happy marriage; A Bb B (n.c) I'd pre-fer to be un-happy!
