. . .they’ve forgotten the tune  
that their whiskey voice croaks  
splitting the night  
with the roar of their jokes . . .

> Queen Elizabeth II is, among other things, the head of the church. As such, attending (and consequently, condoning) civil marriage ceremonies puts her at a conflict of interest, does it not?

Why would it? She’s also the head of the civil government. I don’t think the CoE has anything to say about the existence of civil marriage, apart from its suitability for certain specific circumstances.

:dubious: Well, that’s quite a hijack as it’s not only not Hunky Dory, it’s not even Bowie (orginally).

But I’ll forgive you as I’ve always loved that song (And actually got it put of the jukebox of a bar I used to hang out in.)

And really, I just came in because I was so delighted a thread about Prince Charles degenerated into quotations of Bowie lyrics (and yes, I automatically transposed the thread title too.)

But just to get things back on track, some more pertaint lyrics:

Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl  
but she doesn’t have a lot to say  
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl  
but she changes from day to day  
I’m gonna tell her that I love her a lot  
but I gotta get a belly full of wine  
Her Majesty is a pretty nice girl  
someday I’m gonna make her mine  
oh yeah, someday I’m gonna make her mine.

Eh, I guess you can have him, **Ky**. I’m pretty sure he takes more after his Uncle Andy than his Uncle Eddie anyway… _sigh_

If this ain’t an occasion that screams Vegas wedding chapel, I don’t know what does.

They’re not spring chickens anymore, it’s their second marriage each, their mother won’t attend…hell, they should just fly to Vegas and spare the poor bastard whose job it is to figure out whether Camilla ranks high enough to be seated next to Charles but ahead of William.

Pfft. It’s only a hijack if it’s successful. It wasn’t. I tried. 😃

Well…here…maybe this bit can bridge the gap :

Yeah, they’ve bargained their virtue  
Their goodness all gone  
For a few dirty coins  
Well he just can’t go on  
Throws his nose to the sky  
And he aims it up above  
And he pisses like I cry  
On the unfaithful love

😛
