I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well the bride looked a picture In the gown that her mama wore
When she was married herself
Nearly 27 years before
They had to change the style a little
But it looked just fine
Stayed up all night
But they got it finished just in time
Now on the arm of her daddy
She's walkin' down the aisle
I see her catch my eye
And give me a secret smile
Maybe it's too old fashioned
But we once were close friends
Oh but the way that she looks today
She never could've then
Well I can see her now In her tight blue jeans
Pumpin' all her money In the record machine
Spinnin' like a top
You should have seen her go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well her proud daddy
Only wanna give his little girl the best
And so he put down a grand
On a cozy little lover's nest
You could have called her reception
An unqualified success
At a flash hotel
For a 150 guests
Well take a look at the bridegroom
Smillin' pleased as pie
Shakin' hands all around
With a glassy look in his eye
He got a real good job
And his shirt and tie is nice
But I remember a time
When she never would've looked at him twice
Well I can see her now
Drinkin' with the boys
Breakin' their hearts like they were toys
She used to do the pony
Used to do the stroll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
Well I can see her now
With her Walkman on
Jumpin' up and down
To her favorite song
I still remember when she used to
Want to make a lot of noise
Hoppin' and a boppin'
With the street corner boys
She used to want to party
Used to want to go
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to do the pony
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll
I knew the bride when she used to wanna party
I knew the bride when she used to rock and roll

Used to listen to the 'Basher' album in the car with the kids on long vacation drives. When they were little, my girls used to say "Daddy, will you dance with me at my wedding to "I Knew the Bride"? Of course I said yes. So fast forward to wedding day (1 down, 1 to go) and she and I did our Father/Daughter dance to "I Knew the Bride"... 5 months later, my kids took me to a Nick Lowe/Los StraightJackets concert at a small intimate club, and when they played this song, my daughter came up with me to the front of the stage and we danced together again... with Nick looking down and laughing with us.... such fun.

Nick Lowe is the artist I come back to most just to hear his songs. They just never get old. Pure joy to hear.

Well , I'm 60 now, and I've been to 3 weddings, where I knew the bride,..and she did a lot more than rock and roll...

Every wedding DJ needs to have this in his arsenal. Guaranteed to get the crowd rockin'. . .

This is one of the best music videos ever made. Nick Lowe is a genius.

Nick Lowe has written several ABSOLUTELY PERFECT pop songs; this is one of them. Incredibly underrated writer and performer.

I was a mobile DJ for 15 years, played close to 1500 weddings and at about 1000 of them I pulled this one out!!! Never got tired of playing it.

I had the good fortune to see Nick Lowe with Rockpile at The Palladium on 14th Street in NYC many years ago. The Palladium is long gone, but the memory of a GREAT show are with me forever ❤👍🏻👏🏼🎶🎵!

I'm 75 now and this makes me young again- listen to it every day

True True Classic, the video is the best ever of its kind. The ending, when Nick and the Bride scarper is brilliant, a lesser artist would have had the wedding party looking on in shock. No, the party goes on and nobody notices. God bless Mr Lowe !
-
Nick Lowe and Dave Edmunds can do no wrong ,good feel music
-
I found this song by chance when I was scrolling on YouTube a while back. I'd never heard of Nick Lowe. I bought the CD right away! It sounds really good in my van! By the way, I'm 63!

This was one of the last songs I played for my dad before he died two days later from a brain tumour 😭😭😭😭😭. He used to sing along to it on the radio when we were kids. 💜💔

Listening to this in 2019 brings tears to my eyes. How we once were.
