Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who's the only one?
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, who's the one you want?
Hey little sister, shotgun
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Hey little sister, who is it you're with?
Hey little sister, what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister, shotgun, oh yeah
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, shotgun
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Pick it up
Take me back home, yeah
Hey little sister, what have you done?
Hey little sister, who's the only one?
I've been away for so long (so long)
I've been away for so long (so long)
I let you go for so long
It's a nice day to start again, come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
There is nothin' fair in this world, girl
There is nothin' safe in this world
And there's nothin' sure in this world
And there's nothin' pure in this world
Look for something left in this world
Start again, come on
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day to start again
Hey little sister, who's the only one?
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, who's the one you want?
Hey little sister, shotgun
It's a nice day to start again
It's a nice day for a white wedding
It's a nice day to start again
Hey little sister, who is it you're with?
Hey little sister, what's your vice and wish?
Hey little sister, shotgun, oh yeah
Hey little sister, who's your Superman?
Hey little sister, shotgun
It's a nice day to start again

I'm surprised to be the only one to make a "sacrifice to the devil" connection with this song, after watching the video. You've got Idol in a shroud, people digging a new grave in the churchyard, and people nailing the lid onto the coffin. At some point after leaving the classic limo, the bride is completely limp on a gurney with Idol lifting a cloth from her face.
"White wedding" is a virgin sacrifice to the dark powers. Satan's newest bride.
Of course, this interpretation doesn't cover everything. They keep replaying the bike through the stained glass which, other than general sacrilege doesn't seem to mean everything. And the exploding kitchen during the bridge remains weird.
Thank you. I NEVER understood this song even though I've probably listened to it one hundred times. Everyone wore white for weddings back then because white symbolized virginity. But with the shotgun and starting again reference I was clueless.
The exploding kitchen represents that what you think is safe being a housewife is not what it is supposed to be. Her life once she is married, her life won’t be all peaches and cream, so he is lamenting the fact she is getting married or just got married, “What have you done?!” Instead of happy she will be bored, unfilled and unhappy in her married life. Maybe her husband will drink and beat her? Maybe she will start drinking? Maybe she or her husband will have affairs? The whole marriage thing is a joke, and the song is poking fun at it. He is so upset he crashes his bike through the glass to tell her that her dreams will be shattered or just at make a statement on the eve of her wedding.
