lyrics

Recipe for Disaster

Hey beer boy
She needs a hero
He's gotta be sure and
He's gotta be strong

Hey beer boy
She needs the power of love
To lift her up
Where she belongs

She wants a knight
A knight in shining armour
Not some shite in a grimy Barbour
She wants a fairy tale romance
Not some kitchen sink drama
With all the ingredients
Of a recipe for disaster

Hey Sue Ellen
You don't need a kebab
You need a detox
And to rehab after

So get your roller skates on
And your leotard
Take your 80s mix tapes and your ghetto blaster

Before you met this good for nothing
Before you fell for his love bombing
We said, we said we saw this coming

Before the tears they started flowing
Before the bruises started showing
We said, we said where this was going

You are moonwalking with danger
You’re flashdancing with bad fate
You've gotta get out before it's too late

She wants a knight
A knight in shining armour
Not some shite
dressed as a gentleman farmer
She wants a musical romance
Not some kitchen sink drama
With all the ingredients
Of a recipe for disaster
