	What a breath of fresh air in a rock and roll world consisting of half-dressed teenaged girls who are 'so over that worthless SOB' and tongue-pierced punks whose life ambition is to cavort in the Playboy mansion. Does Paul sound a little preachy to you in the song's fadeout ('it doesn't work out if you don't work at it')? I think he's earned the right; how many show-biz marriages last for 30 years? Obviously that's why there aren't many songs floating around like this one... A good melody from Paul, augmented with some strong guitar work from David Gilmour, and some powerful lyrics about commitment, although the first part of the song speak more hypothetically about young marriage than about Paul and Linda's specifically.

Lyrics

Going Fast, Coming Soon
We Made Love In The Afternoon.
Found A Flat, After That
We Got Married.
Working Hard For The Dream,
Scoring Goals For The Other Team,
Times Were Bad We Were Glad
We Got Married.
Like The Way You Open Up Your Hearts To Each Other,
When You Find A Meeting Of The Minds.
Just As Well Love Was All We Ever Wanted,
It Was All We Ever Had.
Further On In The Game,
Waiting Up Till The Children Came.
Place Your Bets, No Regrets,
We Got Married.
We Got Married.
We Got Married.
Nowadays Every Night Flashes By
At The Speed Of Light,
Living Life, Loving Wife,
We Got Married.
I Love The Things That Happen
When We Start To Discover
Who We Are
And What We're Living For,
Just Because Love Was
All We Ever Wanted
It Was All We Ever Had.
It's Not Just A Loving Machine,
It Doesn't Work Out
If You Don't Work At It.
