It's  8 O'clock and I'm feeling fine
 I'm out  on a date tonight
 In a candle  lit restaurant
 Down by the riverside
Everythings  going alright I guess
 She took  down my number and home address
Everything  was going perfectly
Until
 It  backfired at the disco
 she slapped  me at the disco
 I did  something I'll never forget
 It was a chat  up line built not to impress
 More a sleezy  remark on her whorish dress
My  wires crossed like they'd never done before
 Well it's 3  O'clock and I'm feeling shite
 I'm going  home alone tonight
Everything  was going perfectly
Until
 It  backfired at the disco
 she slapped  me at the disco
 I did  something I'll never forget
 Yeah it  backfired at the disco
 she slapped  me at the disco
 I made  a move when it was well  out of context
It  backfired at the disco
We  were dancing at the disco
It  backfired at the disco
We  were dancing at the disco
Yeah  it backfired at the disco
When  she slapped me at the disco
It  backfired at the disco
We  were dancing at the disco
