She's My Rushmore...


Band Club wrote a song for us on the occasion of our wedding. Brilliant. It's about when I proposed to Bethany. Steve says that we have sole rights to it. And that means that I can post the lyrics here. As with most Band Club songs, there's plenty of popular culture references in the song. Try to work out what they all are. I might even post a link to the track at some point. Enjoy...



She's My Rushmore (the Ballad of Mark and Bethany)

Her name/the east
Her name/the east
Her name/the east
Her name/the east
Her name/the east
This could go on and on.

So I say 'Bethany'.
And you say 'that way'.
Oh you've got to hand it to the poor.
You've got to hand it to the poor.

Cos she's my Rushmore
She's the ligaments of bees
She's my Rushmore
And she joins me in all these
Extra-curricular activities
She's my Rushmore
And I'll get down on my knees and get my trousers wet for her.

The plane delayed
The plane delayed
The plane delayed
The plane delayed
The plane delayed
This could go on and on

So I'll take the airlines recompense
Convert it to Canadian cents
And then into a silver ring for her
Into a silver ring for her.

Cos she's my Rushmore
She's the ligaments of bees
She's my Rushmore
And she joins me in all these
Extra-curricular activities
She's my Rushmore
And i'll get down on my knees and get my trousers wet for her.

In this climate
There'll be extremes of weather
Somehow I know that
We've been through the hardest stuff together.

Oh, we must have been depraved
More miles than Charlie would have braved
And Craig
Would have been easy to stay put.

But (oh) they'll never build a bridge
Over the mid-atlantic ridge
But you know I would have
Done it all on foot.

So come on.
