about

This song is about a bible-thumping bunnyboiler.
Cette chanson parle d'une cinglée religieuse.

lyrics

A mental margarita
That’s a real mind-eater
Cocktail that kills ya
Having once thrilled ya
Mental margaritas
Just one gulp may be fatal
Mental margaritas
Drown your common sense
And leave you with no defence

The first time I saw her
She took me by surprise
I never thought I’d see such beauty
In a person’s eyes
She looked like a marble statue
My emotionality ran wild
I thought pretty young lady
I really like your style
But she was –

A mental margarita
That’s a real mind-eater
Cocktail that kills ya
Having once thrilled ya
Mental margaritas
Just one gulp may be fatal
Mental margaritas
Drown your common sense
And leave you with no defence

The next time I saw her
I couldn’t believe my eyes
She was sittin’ in my flat
Chattin’ to other blokes online
I’d taken her in ‘cause I really liked her
And she had nowhere to stay
But the penny dropped
And I finally realised that day

That she was –
A mental margarita
That’s a real mind-eater
Cocktail that kills ya
Having once thrilled ya
Mental margaritas
Just one gulp may be fatal
Mental margaritas
Drown your common sense
And leave you with no defence

So please don’t fall for someone
Who thinks it’s cool to do your head in
By chattin’ up other blokes
While preachin’ about sin
Oh please don’t fall for someone
Who thinks it’s cool to cut your jeans up
While threatenin’ to keep your keys
And messin’ your flat up

Oh she was
A mental margarita
That’s a real mind-eater
Cocktail that kills ya
Having once thrilled ya
Mental margaritas
Just one gulp may be fatal
Mental margaritas
Drown your common sense
And leave you with no defence
