"Istanbul" lyrics

"Istanbul"

You're not even 30, but you're on a flight to Turkey
For the second time this year, this time a week
Last time on the airline he declared a brand new hairline
Now he's boarding back again for brand new teeth

But there's nothing wrong with the olders
So they put it down to vanity
He's attracted to the way they sold 'em
Without the finance or the guarantee

'Cause it's out of control and it's taken a hold
But they never wanna pay it in full
They were fine from the start, never needed the parts
So when it all goes wrong, they'll be heading back to Istanbul

I know you love a fix, although you're born in '96
You've had more Botox than your birthdays, that's for sure
She's living hand to mouth, it takes a journey further south
To book a cheaper flight for double D's abroad

But there's nothing wrong with the olders
So they put it down to vanity
She's attracted to the way they sold 'em
Via Instagram and ITV

'Cause it's out of control and it's taken a hold
But they never wanna pay it in full
They were fine from the start, never needed the parts
So when it all goes wrong, they'll be heading back to Istanbul

How many times have they told you
That you don't need to change who you are
So what you gonna do when you're older
And everything is falling apart

That's why it's out of control and it's taken a hold
But they never wanna pay it in full
They were fine from the start, never needed the parts
So when it all goes wrong, they'll be heading back to Istanbul

When it all goes wrong, they'll be heading back to Istanbul
