Tim Minchin - Pride lyrics

Pride comes before the fall Pride comes before the fall But in between the pride and the fall There's usually a bottle of Tequila Tequila comes before the fall And pride comes before Tequila But in between the pride and Tequila There's usually a lady who you love with all your heart and all your head Who implies that you are bad in bed Whereas before that lady you though s**ually you rocked That you went off like a frog in a sock Pride comes before the fall And the fall comes after the lady And the lady comes before the Tequila But in between the lady and Tequila There's usually an argument incited by the fracture in your pride Where you tell the lady she wasn't much to write home about either That is, if hypothetically, you habitually wrote home about your s**ual partners, which you don't But even if you did, you wouldn't do That's when the lady throws a shoe Tequila comes before the fall And pride comes before Tequila And the Tequila comes after the lady... and the shoe And in between Tequila and the fall There's usually an unforgettable amnesiac evening with your mates with equal measures of s**ism and pull And a great deal of amusing hi-jinx involving nude runs though your old high school Til you vomit on a football pitch After which You have no pride at all Followed by the sweet, sweet taste of self-hatred Which can be loosely described as the fall So though the Bible may be chronologically correct when it states that a fall is preceded by pride Like all Bible lessons, it should only be used as a guide
