[Intro]

Why'd you get that ticket if you're only gonna talk

I came to catch a film and there's nothing being caught

And more to the point fella this is just a thought

Why you eatin popcorn when they've covered it in salt


[Hook]

I came to watch a film and eat popcorn

You came here to just talk

If this carries on we'll lock horns

Like they do in the movies son


[Verse 1]

My right hand popcorn, sweet never salted

Left hand holding the girl I'm escorting

Films already started so we're quiet as we walk in

As I take a seat there's already people talking

Dunno what it is but if it's adults or it's kids

In the cinema, people are chattin like they in a bar

What is this a seminar on chatting inane?

Look, I'm tryna watch this dude jumping out of a plane

The kiddies in the front row (chitter chatter chitter chatter)

The Lovers in the back row (kiss kiss kiss)

The dude kicking my chair like (tap tap tap tap)

This gang of idiots take the (piss piss piss)

A couple of explosions it's quiet for a moment

I'm ready to explode myself losing composure

(Chitter chatter chitter) Right you're ticking me off

Shut the fuck up, watch the film or we're kicking off


[Hook x2]


[Verse 2]

Now I got my girlfriend, she giving me some earache

"As if you'd do that in real life on a first date"

I made a rule to steer clear of aggression sessions

Whether it's a rom com, a thriller or a western

Now for the whole film, she can only ask three questions

Once she done that she gotta button it

Hush her lip and no love I ain't getting couple-y

Devoted to you utterly but not when watching films

My girly in my left ear (who's that in the red hat?)

The fatty to my right like (munch crunch munch)

Here she goes again like (I thought he was dead)

Look, no love he's isn't, see he only got a punch

10 minutes of silence, things are looking better

But whenever there's never a sound

Waiting for an over clever noise from whoever's around

Sitting on the edge of my seat

And it ain't cause of the film, it's the idiots


[Hook x2]


[Verse 3]

Right you, you fucking chatty face you're starting to rub

Me up the wrong way - fuck off down the pub

It's bad enough my woman chattin crap in my earhole

Without you talking out loud like a hero

Trust me son you're nothing like a Robert De Niro

Character, have a chair or I'm a go all cavalier

And start getting more than medieval on your arse

Your visits to the cinema this'll be the last

The kiddies in the front row (Shut your flippin face mate)

The lovers in the back row (why you gotta talk)

The dude tappin my chair like (keep it down please yeah)

My girly in my ear like (but he was in New York)

Look, I only wanna hear what this dude is tryna say to me

And now I got the whole damn room laying in to me

Security appear and flash their torches down my row

Er, sir can you leave please, you're spoiling the show?
