Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor
And I can't help but to hear, no I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame, the poor groom's bride is a whore"
I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of . . .
Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast, so pour the champagne, pour the champagne
I'd chime in with a "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
I'd chime in, "Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality
Again . . .

Oh,
Well imagine,
As I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor, means that the groom is nervous
And I can't help but to hear,
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding! What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter.
"And yes, but what a shame, what a shame the poor groom's bride is a whore."
a bridesmaid and a waiter are having a conversation about the pros and cons of a marriage
I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of...
the chorus is the groom hearing the conversation, and because of the remark on his bride he is interrupting to say "If you are going to insult my soon to be wife then get a room and talk in private!"
Oh. Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast
So pour the champagne
Oh! Well in fact,
Well I'll look at it this way,
I mean technically our marriage is saved
Well this calls for a toast,
So pour the champagne, pour the champagne
the groom of the song is the part where the groom's alter ego is getting the best of him knowing that his bride is in fact a whore. Because of that he is trying to interrupt it with a toast
I'd chime in with a
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
Again...
its the same meaning as the first chorus line but he is saying that just again
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
I'd chime in,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of poise and rationality.
Again...
Sorry if my grammar isn't the best but this is what i believe the song means
"Oh, well imagine, as I'm pacing the pews in a church corridor" It talks about a very worried (hence the pacing) groom,
"Haven't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door?" The groom walks in on the bride and another man, also explaining "the poor groom's bride is a whore"
The paragraph starting with "Well in fact, well I'll look at it this way, I mean technically our marriage is saved" is basically the groom being sarcastic and fighting with the bride.
And finally, "No, it's much better to face these kinds of things with a sense of poise and rationality" is the groom trying to remind himself to remain cool, remain calm, and to not be stressed.
This song is basically the story of a groom that walks in on the bride with another man.
This song to me just wreaks sarcasm. I think the groom overhears the conversation (since he's nervously pacing) and obviously gets upset, "....you people...goddamn door?!". Which I interpret as "keep your thoughts to yourself". Truth is, whether we admit it or not, we tend to regard what others think of us. You tell yourself you could not care less about what someone else thinks, but if someone suggested something bad about something you valued, you would definitely (subconsciously) consider it. Is there any validity in their suggestion? Hearing someone suggest you're soon-to-be-wife is a whore is pretty daunting if you ask me.
He tries to make himself feel better, tells himself to be calm and not to overreact, that everything will work out: "....sense of poise and rationality", but you can tell it's eating at him inside. His frustration ultimately leads to the cancellation of the wedding, and again he tries to make himself feel better: "I'll look at it this way... technically our marriage is saved", because if he would've married a whore (suspected) they would've had a horrible marriage. So he's trying to look on the bright side of things, "this calls for a toast so pour the champagne." But is he genuinely happy with the situation? Even if he did prevent a miserable marriage? It just wreaks of sarcasm and dismay.
I think this song says a lot about the powerful influence of others (society), especially when it regards something one takes to heart.
some guy is about to get married. He thinks she loves him and stuff but then someone says something about her cheating and stuff. it makes him rethink his marriage and the whole technically our marriage is saved part is sarcastic, because he's not exactly sure he wants to go through with it. then she gets scared off when he doesn't say i do and he follows her. And he sees that she's making out or something with some other guy. It's called i write sins not tragedies because whoever is singing, is saying, it's a sin that the bride cheated on her soon to be husband, but not a tragedy, because the groom found out and knows about it, so he won't get married to someone like that.
THEN HE TRIES TO BETTER HIMSELF BY DRINKING ALCOHOL "NO, ITS MUCH BETTER TO EAL WITH THESE KINDS OFF THINGS WITH A SENSE POISE AND RATIONALITY."
