About This Track

'Red Wedding' by Coldplay is a 2015 track from the album 'Game of Thrones: The Musical'. The lyrics recount an ill-fated wedding, with instruction to keep things running, the bridegroom’s chances dismissed, and a final image of the wedding cake. There’s a blunt, cautionary tone throughout, framed by the repeated warning, “You don’t mess around with Walder Frey”.

Lyrics

Red Wedding

[Intro]

You don’t mess around with Walder Frey…

(Don’t mess around with)

You don’t mess around with Walder Frey…

[Verse 1]

If you’re here for the wedding of Robby Stark

Keep the car running, there’s no need to park

He’s not going to make it, through the night…

Keep that wedding cake in the fridge

He didn’t pay me back for using the bridge

I’m afraid this wedding won’t be white…

Boom, boom, boom, babba dippi dum

Boom, boom, boom, babba dippi bum

[Verse 2]

Red wedding, red wedding

Lots of stabbing and a bit of beheading

The Rains of Castamere are here to stay…

Red wedding, dead wedding

A head, shredding, bloodshed wedding

There will be no wedding bedding, hey

You don’t mess around with Walder Frey!
