LYRICS:

It happened at a birthday celebration

You said by all accounts I made a scene

I told off-color jokes,

Offended several folks.

I guess perhaps I might see what you mean.

Now if you were to take me to a funeral,

I'd be the only fool there in a party hat.

I mean no disrespect,

I just think "What the heck?

I might just make a grieving widow laugh."

Your girlfriends say it all the time,

Bet your mama says it, too,

You married a fool

You married a fool

You married a fool

But I'm a fool for you.

I met you where you work, down at the tavern.

We sang karaoke songs until you closed.

I guess I drank too much,

And maybe I lost touch.

I'm not sure why I took of all my clothes.

It's nothing new, hell, you can ask my mother.

I was a joker and a classclown back in school.

And I take any gaffe

Just to make some people laugh.

And I don't care if I come off a fool.

Your girlfriends say it all the time,

Bet your mama says it, too,

You married a fool

You married a fool

You married a fool

But I'm a fool for you.

At night we get in bed and we turn out the lights.

There's not a hint of irony, There's not a joke in sight.

But in this great, big world of ours

You're the only one around who can see the real me

Through the make-up of this sad and wounded clown.

I like to think that I'm like Kenny Rogers

When I stay out late at night and play my songs.

But this song is no "Lady"

In fact, they're all quite shady.

I guess I only sing 'bout things gone wrong.

A friend asked if you were my inspiration.

You told her: "Have you heard this moron sing?

Even has a song that says that

I lost my head when he gave me the ring.

What a godawful thing to sing!"

Your girlfriends say it all the time,

But your mama says it, too,

But they can't see between the lines

To the truth of me and you,

I guess I might seem asinine,

So hey it might be true that

You married a fool

You married a fool

You married a fool

But this fool ain't nothin' but a fool in love with you.

Voltaire, I love you... I actually did some stop motion because you inspired me. But your country kind of sucks. You have the music down, but you are not singing country. The genre can be fun without being a joke

It'd be foolish to NOT be a fool me thinks. There are times and places that NEED a fool.

Well. Normally I hate country, but I must say, you're one of the first singers I've listened to that can make it sound actually good. Love most if not all of your music, Voltaire.

If there ever was a positive song relevant somehow to my attitude, it would be this one. I chose, and found myself in, making people laugh all too often at the expense of making myself look like an obnoxious meatball of Large Ham and bad puns, and I'd lie, if said I didn't like it this way most of the time. (I also love long sentences, but shhhh). I will feel sorry for any woman who'd choose to endure my antics, though :D

That line about the party hat at the funeral makes sense. When my grandma died, my best friend wore these ridiculous shoes with bright green zombies on them to the funeral. To someone else, it might have seemed disrespectful, but they were the only thing that made me smile that day.

I have to say, your music really helps sometimes! Whenever I feel really down, and have just so much to do, that I have no idea how I could overcome the trouble, I just start a playlist of my favourite Voltaire pieces on YT, and it helps so much! Thank you for your work!

Voltaire you are just amazing, I remember when I was around 8 or so when I first heard "Brains" Then land of the dead, then I finally discovered the artist behind it all a good 2 or 3 years or so ago, and I must say, you are an amazing musician and singer. P.S. You're beard is awesome.

hmm, a note in this song reminded me to ask, have you ever tried to use a theremin? I think you would pull out some good songs from that instrument. ^^
