lyrics

I’ve got a boyfriend
everything’s great

But it could fall through
if you’re willing to wait

Cheating on him is something I won’t do

But there’s room in my life
for a guy like you:
Even though I’ve got a man

I’ve gotta have a back up plan.

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

When he works late we can meet on the sly

He’s number one.
But you’re number two

Won’t you be my back burner dude?

You’ll always have a place in my heart.

We can about books.
We can talk about art.

If things go wrong
like they sometimes do

I can drop kick him:
cuz I’ve got you.

It’d feel pretty nice

To have a guy like you on ice.

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

You’ll never kiss me so don’t even try 

Don’t want to cheat- just want to know I can.

Won’t you be my back burner man?

When I’m feeling insecure I’ll call

You can stroke my ego but that’s all.
When he’s distant, when he comes home late

I’ll still know that you think that I’m great.

When I’ve got you
it’s a funny thing

I won’t be neurotic.
I won’t have to cling

As long as I know you lust after me.

I can be the girl he wants me to be.

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

The position’s yours if you want to apply

You’re more than a friend;
you’re a back up plan

Won’t you be my back burner man?

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

Won’t you be my Back Burner Guy?

"Jesus H Christ and the Four Hornsmen of the Apocalypse has a crusading horn section, some fine guitar playing, and a growing catalogue of sharply satirical power pop."- The New Yorker

"Sounding a little like Amy Sedaris fronting Fountains of Wayne."
-Pitchfork

"Like asparagus, olives, Zappa and cum, Jesus H Christ are an acquired taste." - Leicester Bangs ... more
