Billy Idol • White Wedding || Jennifer Connelly • The Rocketeer

“White Wedding“ is a song by Billy Idol that was released as the second single from his self-titled studio album in 1982. Although not Idol’s highest-charting hit, it is often considered one of his most recognizable songs. In the US, it peaked at No. 10 on the Billboard Bubbling Under the Hot 100 chart on 27 November 1982, then reached No. 36 on the Billboard Hot 100 on 2 July 1983 after it was re-issued. In the UK, it reached No. 6 in the UK Singles Chart upon its re-release there in 1985, when it was re-issued to promote the Vital Idol remix album. Cash Box called it “a powerful entry“ whose “ominous guitar intro“ and “accusatory tone“ command attention. Lyrics: Hey little sister, what have you done? Hey little sister, who’s the only one? Hey little sister, who’s your Superman? Hey little sister, who’s the one you want? Hey little sister, shotgun It’s a nice day to start again It’s a nice day for a white wedding It’s a nice day to start again Hey little sister, who is it you’re with? Hey little sister, what’s your vice and wish? Hey little sister, shotgun, oh yeah Hey little sister, who’s your Superman? Hey little sister, shotgun It’s a nice day to start again It’s a nice day for a white wedding It’s a nice day to start again Pick it up Take me back home, yeah Hey little sister, what have you done? Hey little sister, who’s the only one? I’ve been away for so long (so long) I’ve been away for so long (so long) I let you go for so long It’s a nice day to start again, come on It’s a nice day for a white wedding It’s a nice day to start again There is nothin’ fair in this world, girl There is nothin’ safe in this world And there’s nothin’ sure in this world And there’s nothin’ pure in this world Look for something left in this world Start again, come on It’s a nice day for a white wedding It’s a nice day to start again It’s a nice day to start again It’s a nice day to start again
