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."
