Buried Together
[Verse 1]
"Happy anniversary"
Albert said as he and June exchanged cards
Between their hospital beds
"We've had the best run
And I'm at peace with what's coming
Remember our wedding day
Posing for those photographs
I slipped over in the field
And you just cried with laughter
There's a picture in our mantle piece
That's been there for fifty years
Of me with muddy legs and you with wet mascara."
[Chorus]
"I've been thinking about the future of us
And I think we should gеt buried together
Our bodiеs interlocking, embracing forever
We've had a charmed life
We've had a charmed life
Let's keep a good thing going
Together forever."
[Verse 2]
"Happiness can be found
When finding joy in the mundane
It's 'Top Of The Pops' reruns
And the supermarket pizza
Saturday morning eggs
And walking our dogs in the rain
Badminton on Thursdays
Even though I always beat ya
I heard that they're missing us
Down in our local pub
When they get new beers in
Charlie sends me pictures
I feel so alive even though this pain is rough
With each other by our sides
We can take the future head on."
[Chorus]
"I've been thinking about the future of us
And I think we should get buried together
Our bodies interlocking, embracing forever
We've had a charmed life
We've had a charmed life
Let's keep a good thing going
Together forever."
[Bridge]
"We may be ti-i-i-i-red
But we're ali-i-i-i-ve
We may be ti-i-i-i-red
But we're alive
We are alive
We may be ti-i-i-i-red
But we're ali-i-i-i-ve
We may be ti-i-i-i-red
But we're alive
We are alive"
[Verse 3]
"Happy anniversary"
Albert said as he and June exchanged cards
In their marital bed
"We've had the best run
And I can't believe we're still going
We've had that picture on our mantle piece
For fifty one years now
It warms my heart each morning
When we head downstairs fro breakfast
Come join me in the kitchen
And we can dance to old vinyls
Like music-box ballerinas
We are slowing but still graceful."
[Chorus]
"I've been thinking about the future of us
And I think we shouldn't think about the future
Our bodies interlocking, as we dance in the kitchen
We've had a charmed life
We've had a charmed life
Let's keep a good thing going."
