Transcription

Background

"[An] attempt at perfect pop" is how "Now We Are Married" is described by the band on their bio. "It’s not a song about getting married. Everyone thinks it’s something to walk down the aisle to. But really it was about my opposition to marriage," explained Martin Metcalfe, "At that point in my life, I felt marriage wasn’t about making a commitment to each other, it was like making a pact with the devil. Once you were married and had kids, you weren’t a free spirit any more. You had to think about cash. You’re more married to materialism. So it was a song about marriage being a contract with the devil. It annoys me when people don’t read past the cover."[2]

Single release

"Now We Are Married" debuted on the Official Charts at #86[3] before moving up to a peak position of #80 the following week.[4] The single dropped to #96 in its final week on the chart.[5] The single was released in multiple-formats including CD single, cassette single, 7" vinyl and two 12" vinyls, one of which was a limited edition with a gatefold sleeve featuring snaps of the band on tour in Europe.[1]

The single was backed with cover versions of Velvet Underground's "Candy Says" (Metcalfe: "[It's] just me on an acoustic guitar, basically. I always loved the Velvet Underground and Lou Reed. It’s a really sweet song about a transvestite.") and Lee Hazlewood's "Friday's Child", recorded after Metcalfe heard Hazelwood's Nancy Sinatra duet "Summer Wine" in a junkie dive in Berlin. Impressed, it led to him discovering "Friday’s Child" on a companion album. "I just thought it was a brilliant song".[2] The single was rounded out with an acoustic version of "Candlestick Park", which originally appeared on the band's debut album Good Deeds and Dirty Rags.[2]
