With half an eye on history
And half an ounce of hope
Sold his soul in the vestry
Money for old rope
Been this way a million times
But now his time is nigh
He steps into the spotlight
He wants to say hi
Hello, were so glad you came
Youve never seen me before
Hes so ambitious, hes so game
But yesterday he was dressed the same
Then he was so much easier to ignore
Here comes the groom
But the worlds not an inn and there isnt any room for you
But here he comes
He married into money
Just to kiss and tell
He ripped the contract open
Hes out of his shell
He looks into a mirror
Practising his poise
But it reflects so badly
The groom just gets annoyed
He gasps, he forgets his lines
Hes never done that before
The scientists say hes doing fine
This fumbling frantic frankenstein
Soon hes gonna do the dinosaur
Here comes the groom
His fingers are on the cliff edge
His head is going under
Is that applause?
No thats just thunder....
Why do you keep saying I do?
What does the bride mean to you?
Play me some puccini
Make it heavy on the strings
Walk me to the altar
The choir cant even sing
Right side for the photographs
Left side for the kids
God made me do it
So thats what I did
He coughs, loosens his bow-tie
Youve never seen him before
He kisses the bride, oh you know why
Loves one more thing you can buy
He was unfaithful before he went outdoors
(and now hes in the graveyard)
Here comes the groom.....
John Wesley Harding is the stage name of Robert Allen Zimmerman, better known as Bob Dylan. The album "John Wesley Harding", released in 1967, marks a turning point in his musical career. After the explosion of folk rock and the social protests of the 1960s, Dylan moves away from more electric and engaged sounds to embrace a more introspective and minimalist country-folk style. The album features songs like "All Along the Watchtower", "The Ballad of Frankie Lee and Judas Priest" and "I Dreamed I Saw St. Augustine", which reflect a more personal and poetic approach, with lyrics often dark and enigmatic. The influence of country music is evident in simple arrangements and catchy melodies. John Wesley Harding represents a transitional phase for Dylan, marking the beginning of a musical journey that will lead him to explore new genres and sounds.
