Biography:
The Wedding Present are an indie rock group formed in Leeds, England in 1984. They evolved from the ashes of The Lost Pandas. Their music has evolved from fast-paced indie rock in the vein of their most obvious influences The Fall, Buzzcocks and The Go-Betweens, to more varied forms. Throughout their career, they have been led by vocalist and guitarist David Gedge, the band's only constant member.
The Lost Pandas fell apart in 1984 when guitarist Michael Duane (later of dustDevils) was sacked, and Panda's drummer Jaz Rigby followed in protest.

Deer Caught in the Headlights
by The Wedding Present
Intro: Bottleneck slide up
Verse 1:
E B C# x2
You won't give it a thought and that's neither wrong nor right,
E B C# x2
and I'm the deer that's caught in your headlights.
E B C# x2
How can it be that just one glance is enough,
E B C# x2
to petrify me. How do you do that stuff?
CHORUS 1:
G# B D E
Because as soon as you look my way that's when I totally freeze,
G# B D
and it's at moments like these that I can't think of a single thing to say except for,
G# E
well maybe, you're just too pretty for me.
Verse 2:
E B C# x2
You wear a stunning dress and then say ‘What, this old thing?'.
E B C# x2
Your genuineness is just so captivating.
CHORUS 2:
G# B D E
But as soon as you look my way that's when I totally freeze,
G# B D
and it's at moments like these that I can't think of a single thing to say except for,
G# E
well maybe you're just too pretty for me.
CHORUS 3:
C# B A G#
And if I was a painter, I'd just paint portraits of you.
C# D A
You'd be in everything I do.
Outro:
E A
