Hey little sister shot gun!
It’s a nice day to start again.

Speaking of Superman. In “White Wedding” Billy Idol imagines himself as Superman to his little sister, and now he finds out she is pregnant out of wedlock. He obviously didn’t protect her. He has feelings of remorse and wonders who this new guy is. But he is a pragmatic guy: “It’s a nice day to start again.” How about a shotgun wedding?

So why “white” wedding? So traditionally white is only worn by virgins. Obviously if his sister is pregnant, she is not a virgin. I think Idol is coming back and trying to protect his sister’s reputation and saying, “screw tradition, we’ll have a white wedding anyways because that is what my little sister deserves.” Remember, he is her superman, and he’ll help his sister get the special wedding she deserves. Tradition be damned.

White Wedding 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 your whip?
Hey little sister, what’s your vice and wish?
Hey little sister, shot gun (oh yeah).
Hey little sister, who’s your superman?
Hey little sister, shot gun.

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.

Take me back home.
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, baby.
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.
