It's every man's worst nightmare!!!

Lyrics
Dawn breaks, high stakes,
Life-long mistakes
Cold feet, can't eat
Beat a retreat
New shoes, full pews
Can he refuse?
Fall guy in black tie
Speaks vows, thinks lies
Although you know that all will smile
All you can see's a blind aisle
Deep flaws beneath gauze
Worse still - the in-laws
No fan of her clan
Should be best man
Although you know that all will smile
All you can see's a blind aisle
A blind aisle
A blind aisle
