From their 1986 album Skylarking
Lyrics:
It's your big day, your big day
So you want to tie the knot
Tie it tight, don't let it rot, the memory of this day
Are you deafened by the bells
Could be heaven, could be hell
In a cell for two
Big day come and big day go
Life goes on after the show
But will your love have the fire and glow
Like on the big day
Statistics they don't say a lot
But can you keep what you have got forever together
There's a lesson to be learnt
Many fingers have been burnt with the touch of gold
Love can come and love can go
What your chance is I don't know
But if you have love then let it show like on the big day
You're a new recruit
The big day
in your wedding suit today
Like on the big day
yes you're looking fine
The big day
sign on the dotted line
The big day
it's your wedding march today

@whouster king for a day was his best

I think everybody id forgetting that Todd Rundgren produced this album. He added a lot to the bands sound on this album.

The Skylarking album is probably Colin's finest hour as a songwriter, and this is a gorgeous song. What made XTC a truly great band was Colin being able to supplement Andy's genius with super songs of his own. He had a real gift for melody.

I was listening to this in P.E. one day- I remember it well. I was reading 'The Book of Five Rings' sitting out basketball.
long story short, they forced me to play, I put down my walkman, took the ball and kicked it into the basket from my seat-(totaly unexpected amazing fluke). After that i sat down, put XTC back on and contined to read at chapter 5--=)
