Verse 1 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 Chorus It backfired at the disco she slapped me at the disco I did something I'll never forget Verse 2 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 Chorus 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 Outro 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
