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.

A E A
The heavens were alive with stars
She pointed out which one was Mars
D A
Lying arm in arm against an old tree trunk
She used a phrase of Holly Golightly's from 'Breakfast At Tiffany's'
D A
She said: "Don't take me home until I'm drunk. Very drunk indeed!"

G A
We talked about a second date
D A
She said that meeting me was fate

And, though I don't believe in that crap, I said: "Yes"

And then I said: "I could fall in love with you"

And that little word was the warning sign
That little word meant she'd never be mine,

as I discovered the next day

A text on my phone saying:
"I don't know whether I mentioned him last night,

but I'm getting back together with my old fiancé
I'm sorry, by the way"

And, when I think about that night,
I wonder if perhaps I might
D G D A
not have done every single thing I could
But, deep down, I know I was blind; she just used me to make up her mind
D A
But if I had to do it all again, I would
