Standard (EADGBE)
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
