Middle Seat Nightmare

Intro

Oh yeah

Here we go

Uh-huh

Verse 1

Packed the Gladstone bag at a quarter to four

Stood in the kitchen half-ready for war

Uber is surging and the driver is lost

Don't care about comfort don't care about cost

Tied up my boots and forgot my belt

Stress in the ribs is a feeling I've felt

Out to the tarmac into the sky

Price of the baggage is making me cry

Chorus

Who's gonna save us from the middle seat nightmare

Who's gonna pay for the overpriced air

Engine is roaring and the cabin is tight

We're flying Jetstar through the middle of the night

Yeah we're flying

Aw track it

Verse 2

Safety routine is a mechanical dance

No one is watching we're taking a chance

Bloke to my left has got giant knees

Eating a packet of stinky blue cheese

Lady in front drops her seat with a clack

Smack in my face nearly breaking my back

Pay for the water pay for the view

Budget airline is a terrible stew

Pre-Chorus

Cramped and cranky

Cabin pressure rising fast

Cheap and cranky

This tin can won't last

Chorus

Who's gonna save us from the middle seat nightmare

Who's gonna pay for the overpriced air

Engine is roaring and the cabin is tight

We're flying Jetstar through the middle of the night

Bridge

Oxygen masks dropping down from the roof

Coffee they serve you is ninety-percent proof

We're circling Sydney we're stuck in a queue

Toilet is full and the captain is too

Promised us sunshine promised us gold

Knees are locked up and the cabin is cold

Overhead locker is jammed with a pram

Trapped in a flying tin can of spam

GO

Guitar Solo

Verse 3

Hit the tarmac with a terrible thud

Spine is now jelly and brain is now mud

Overhead lockers are bursting out wide

Duty-free bottle hits someone inside

Wait for the baggage for forty-five years

Carousel spins on a river of tears

Chorus

Who's gonna save us from the middle seat nightmare

Who's gonna pay for the overpriced air

Engine is roaring and the cabin is tight

We're flying Jetstar through the middle of the night

Outro

Lost in the terminal

Baggage is gone

Flying domestic

From dusk until dawn

Oil is burning

Pocket is bare

Get me out of the air

Get me out of the air

Yeah
