Old New Borrowed And Blue Lyrics

[Verse 1]
They were married by a bishop
With a blessing from the pope
In a little country church
Filled with honeysuckle hope
Twenty years later
Finally divorced
By a third-rate judge
In a dark suburban court

[Chorus 1]
Old, new, borrowed and blue
Your vow is a waste of breath
Old, new, borrowed and blue
'I do's until death
And even if it turns out to be true
This whole damn thing's a waste of me and you
We'll be old and blue

[Verse 2]
He met her at a party
In a cloud of beer and smoke
In a lousy little town
Full of ecstasy and coke
Twenty years later
They merrily passed on
In an ancient Astra
That hit the curves full on

[Chorus 2]
Old, new, borrowed and blue
Your ring is a waste of cash
Old, new, borrowed and blue
The shine will never last
And even if it turns out to be free
This whole damn thing's a waste of you and me
Old and blue are we

[Middle 8]
I'm not saying that it's wrong
But maybe forever is just a bit too long

[Chorus 1]
Old, new, borrowed and blue
Your vow is a waste of breath
Old, new, borrowed and blue
'I do's until death
And even if it turns out to be true
This whole damn thing's a waste of me and you
We'll be old and...

[Chorus 2]
Old, new, borrowed and blue
Your ring is a waste of cash
Old, new, borrowed and blue
The shine will never last
And even if it turns out to be free
This whole damn thing's a waste of you and me
Old and blue are we

[Outro]
Whoah, to have and to hold
Hm, what a waste of us all
